Sophia, I have been cheering you in my heart in the past few days, but mostly today. Such a triumph!

Cindy, thank you for the update on your son.

... and it's late and I'm a bit tired and can't remember right now if I wanted to say something directly to someone else as I've been mostly peeking here since Sunday (hiya grad school!), but all the love and power and naps and ~ma to you, people.

Have you been drinking coffee this whole time, Sophia? That can't help with the anxiety! For real, though, I hope you can appreciate how fucking amazing you are being!!!

Sophia, if there aren't practical things to do right now, can you do physical exercises to try to reduce the anxiety you're feeling? Like this guy here? [link]

Popping in quickly to say how damned proud I am of Sophia. None of this was easy.

My house was rapidly approaching similar status. Sophia, you inspired me to get to work cleaning up the worst of it. There's still a lot to do, but it will get done.

Non sequitur: Hoping that most of you remember me mentioning EMTguy. We've been together almost 5 1/2 years now, but the big news is that he's now MedicGuy! He received his paramedic certification last month after a long year of classes and clinicals, while also working full-time. I'm super proud of him too.

Yay Medic!guy!!!!

So they are done! It was way less than I originally thought and they washed all the walls! The rugs are a stained disaster but I am steam cleaning them and they look not good, but at least clean and I will need to get area rugs I think.

Thanks Jesse. I have so much nervous energy to burn off!!

Yay!

5.5 years??? Holy time flying!

Yay, Sophia!

Yay, Medic!guy!!!

Yeah, I was also like "5.5 years?? How is that possible??" But congrats!

I am trying to decide whether to set up my mattress on the floor or sleep on the sofa. The foundation is coming tomorrow. The sofa probably needs to be steam cleaned.
