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.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

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.

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

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.

I'm thinking of Diane Wiest's in Bullets Over Broadway.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
In people I didn't kill today news, I was at the gym doing a post workout yoga video on my cellphone with earbuds clearly in when a woman starts talking to me, wants to know what my disability is and claims she knows of a new therapy that will cure all my pain. Seriously wtf is wrong with people? I have a hard enough time making myself go to the gym.
