I want that too. Maybe only 20 minutes?
On Wednesdays, I have two consecutive sessions. So, yesterday, I had a 90 minute meltdown. I was soft-peddling.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse I think that's what a lot of life coaches are. But then, I alsoroll my eyes at a lot of like, 23 year olds who are "life coaches". Because really.
Oh yeah -- a woman I used to work with quit to be a life coach, and maybe she was 27? I don't think she had enough life to coach anyone else!
Seriously, anyone wants to lie on my couch and talk to me, I will charge half what you're paying now!

Because books.
I would love that, to know that someone I knew and liked and trusted was listening, and could give advice. It's so hard to find a therapist I feel like I can talk to.

Bah blah blah yak yak yak digress diversify comment yabber yabber yabber...
I am talking and I can't shut up. This is how I know I exist.
I do not see your pained expression nor how you keep sidling away from me. I know I am fascinating and you enjoy hearing from me even though you are sitting there turning the pages of your book.
..... I've spent some time with people who blow a lot of hot air, can you tell?

Connie, I really think you'd like the south coast of Iceland. Crashing noth Atlantic, the churn of pebbles as waves retreat.
I should be asleep, but i can't stop thinking about our trip & my time with my parents. It was really good. And sobering (hello, mortality!) and I've been sad since I dropped them at the airport. Even an evening swim in the sun at Druid was a short balm. I MISS them. I only once got truly exasperated (after over 24 hrs w/ no break)and even then, I just hid until I was good again. 17 goddamned days, majority with me running the show & I was sorry to see them go. Huh?
Probably mom's last big excursion to unfamiliar.It had some hard parts that I had the..privilege? of wrangling. But I learned how to handle it, for the right then. The loss of short term memory, attendant anxiety, sundowning, etc. associated means MY relationship with her & dad is changing. But I don't want to treat her as lacking autonomy. It's a fine balance. And yes, it's scary. She was the last one we expected any issues from, herself included.We're all catching up.

Enjoy every moment you have with them.

Yesterday I learned what a canister purge valve does in my car. Today I find out how much it costs to replace it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Am I terrible for thinking of Faye Dunaway's character in Network?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
It's pouring down rain and is supposed to pour all day, which means I'm trapped in the house with sonic boom SiL. I foresee disappearing to the bedroom for a "nap" for most of the day.
It's raining so hard that the option of hopping in the car to buy souvenirs isn't really appealing. But it might have to happen.
