Yikes Sophia, what a mess. Best of luck to your friend.

And askye, that's so hard, your poor mom.

I am trying to tell myself I have allergies and not a cold. I didn't sleep amazing last night, but was OK during brunch, and on the way home was suddenly like "My god why am I SO SLEEPY and also muzzy-headed". And also sniffly. I took some allergy meds, and met up with a friend for the afternoon, but went home and slept for several hours rather than making muffins which was my plan. BOOO. But I have managed to drag myself to Trader Joe's and am eating food. Really hoping I'll feel better tomorrow?? No cold, do not want cold!

Oh, Sophia. I am sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No cold, meara. No cold!

oh my fucking god, I am up at 7AM for a software demo, and this is a fucking comedy of errors, except not funny.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sophia, best wishes for your friend. There's a reason that it happened now.

Your friend might want to at least familiarize herself with the process for getting a protective order, just in case her husband decides to get ugly. I don't know NY procedures, but VA has an application form that you can fill out online, print, and take to the courthouse to get a temporary order.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sophia, tons of ~ma for your friend.

ltc is at school, I have split pea soup in the crockpot, and have done my trash day clean out of the fridge. Now I have two hours before I pick ltc up at school and then pick up thessaly for errands.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have been at work for half an hour and I'm ready for a nap. I guess I'll have a cup of coffe instead. I would rather have both, frankly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like I just saw a thing that a 20-minute nap makes up for an hour of lost sleep, so a nap may be your best bet!

Oh, here: [link] Also, if you do both, it's a nappuccino!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry, askye.

Sophia, that sounds fraught. I hope your friend finds a good way past all the mess.
