A feelings dump? How DARE you! Are those allowed? :)
I had a 630am meeting today (thanks Europe and time zones) and now it's not yet 8am when I normally start work, but it feels like it's already been a long work day. Ugh.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
I like Tim more every day! I'm sorry it is so overwhelming, Teppy.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
But I feel like recognizing that is progress.
It is, it really is.

This. Also, no apologies. That's what we're here for.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm glad Tim is ready to celebrate YOU, Steph. You deserve it.
Zen, I'm glad the bleeding has bloody well stopped. I hope it stays that way.
6:30 meeting and then starting your work day? Yeah, that's a long day, meara.

I've been trying to push her nap back to 1 because she won't be able to nap before that when she starts school, but I gave in today and put her down at 12:30. She fell asleep immediately.

Steph, feelings dumps are part of what we're here for! And good for Tim on telling you that YOUR birthday is special and deserves to me celebrated. He's a good guy.

Therapy twinsies? I love my mom, and miss her every day, but wow, did she give me some messed-up emotional programming.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Therapy twinsies? I love my mom
I'm really naive because I didn't expect it would be so hard to be a caretaker for Mom this past week while still trying to come to grips with the idea that everything she programmed in me was wrong and a lie and damaging. Because I love her and wanted her surgery to come out okay, and I was 100% there for that. But being in a position that forced me to put her first has dragged my progress back by about a billion steps, no matter how much I've tried to logic myself through it.
And I'm sitting here telling myself that I have NO RIGHT to tell my freelance coordinator that I'm going to need a break and to take fewer articles for a couple of weeks. When people take vacations/sick days all the time. But my gut is screaming at me that *I* don't get to do that, who am I to think that I deserve that, why do I think I have it so bad that I need time off?
I want my brain to be better.
