Hey gang, am I out of line in thinking that if someone is still referring to "my room" and "my living room" with regard to a significant other who moved in with them weeks ago, it's an indication they weren't ready to live together?
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

What is even happening?
You're at least not wrong to question it, Matt. Habits are hard to break, though. How long did the someone live there without the s.o.? Did the someone live on their own for long before the s.o. moved in?

I would be thinking this exact thing.

I don't know about the length of prior residence, but there was also a pre-existing roommate so the "my living room" seems particularly telling to me. I immediately thought of communal spaces as shared when I lived with other people, and I've been territorial about guests overstaying their welcome.

I say "the living room"- but I live alone.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
JZ, thank you for writing that; it was beautiful. It brought up lots of feelings in me about my family and my old church. I'm sorry you couldn't all hug each other, and so so glad for you to have such a family and community around you.
Hec, thanks for posting the photo of the church, it's amazing.
Matt, I'd consider it a potential red flag but not a dealbreaker. Something to be worked out.
I am stress-free, at least for this weekend! All I have is one small assignment for side gig #1, and nothing else I have to do for two whole days. (We're not closed Monday.) Whew. Time to work a puzzle, have a drink, and watch some stupid YouTube videos. Quality time!

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.
Oh JZ. You're such a beautiful writer -- it means something for us to feel like we were there with you, so I can only imagine how much it will mean for people who really should have been.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Another fine day here, with Mr. S. At least Gary is trying to get him to go outside for a bit.
