Our wings are not tired.

Oh, Sheryl! What a crap day!

Hope the drugs do ya right, msbelle.

I know that teenage Laura went off on plenty of adventures that would've given me a heartattack

I was so bad that I no doubt deserve anything my offspring make me suffer. More than once kissed the parental units good night all sweetness and light, went upstairs to my bedroom, closed the door, and out the window to jump off the porch roof and go party with my friends. So bad. My parents didn't deserve me!!

it’s been quite the Monday

So yesterday evening my analyst fell asleep on me during our Zoom session, and this hasn’t been the first time that this has happened. I need to fire him today, which is something I probably should have done a long time ago. It will be a huge setback for my mental health in the short term, but necessary if I’m ever going to move forward. It’s probably one of the hardest things I’ll ever do in my lifetime.

Wow, Tom!! Yes, super challenging task to go forward, but clearly it is past time.

Also, I do hope you find that shaking things up and making that change will be the best thing you have ever done, along with being the hardest.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

((((Tom))))

I'm so sorry for the short-term setback, but that's so disrespectful and purely shitty. You deserve infinitely better, and your analyst deserves to hear that he's been fired and hear why. Are analysts on Yelp? Because he's begging for electronic ruination.

Oh, wow, Tom. Yeah, that sounds hard but necessary. We’re with you!

Thrive to spite them

((Tom))) I know it will be really hard but I hope this shake up leads to a lot of good changes and you find a therapist/analyst that will be kick ass and amazing for you.

ION, sorry for being so silent lately. Work has been super stressful and stupid over the last couple of weeks, in very complicated yet terribly dull ways with which Sophia can totally empathize but which I don't really want to inflict on anyone (poor Hec has already had more than his share, and is nearly dead of both rage-on-my-behalf and boredom), and it's going to continue for at least the next two weeks.

Sorry, JZ. That is a bummer. I know I hate it when everything sucks but not even in an interesting way that makes a good story.
