Anya ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's all too much. M and I are actively scheming about how to get jobs in and move to another country, so we won't have to worry so much about our children being shot in their schools. Except the jobs part is really hard, especially for M, who isn't ready to leave academia yet (though he may get there eventually).
In other news, I have started watching Outlander and it is delightful and captivating and I just want to live in that world for a while, not this one. Not right now, thanks.
I'm so sorry Theo.
Oh, Theo.
I can't find words for what I think of the world right now, work is having some serious drama that I can't do much about but foment & translate & serve as conveyor of Anonymous commentary, there's a man at the pool I actively hate (passive aggressive toxic masculinity. The whole pool staff has turned on him, just by watching. It's kinda epic) and yeah. I should go to bed, I need to go Have Conversations with bosses tomorrow.
This has been a very hard week. Love and sympathy and support to all who need it. I can't even talk about the state of the world right now. I've added another asthma med to my daily lineup, one I used to take and had stopped, because I keep having asthma attacks and I know they're stress/anxiety related.
Windsparrow, I hope your psych visit went well and you can quell the anxiety demons at last.
Here's hoping Windsparrow is doing well!
I'm sorry, Theo.
You may be right, sj. I cooked the pasta separately before adding it to the soup, but it may well have continued to soak up liquid afterward.
Except the jobs part is really hard, especially for M, who isn't ready to leave academia yet (though he may get there eventually).
I hear Canada is recruiting! But maybe only famous academics.
Theodosia, there are no words to lift a burden of grief like this. I'm sorry.
Gud, you are amazingly hard-working. You do so much for other people.
Laura, your DH is a good, good, man.
The appointment went well. We're trying Celexa. Thank you all for the kind support.
WS, I really hope it helps you.
I hope that the Celexa works well for you, WS.
Both the DH and the kid got driver's licenses yesterday. First one ever for the 21 year old. DH's was due for renewal and he had to do the whole Real ID thing. He had brought his passport and copies of utility bills, but that wasn't good enough. Then looking through his wallet he asked if his voter id would work, and it did! So he's good for 8 years now. He did have to drive home and get his glasses and go back to pass the eye exam, which might serve as a reminder that maybe he should wear his glasses while driving!
Alternating working and cleaning plaster dust today. I hauled some plants and chairs outside to see if blowing them with the shop vac does the trick.
