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

Timelies all!

Health~ma for Hec, JZ and Matilda.

There are things I can't control in my life or that are adjacent to my life. Like how M talks to his mother and the way his mother talks to him.

I have made it clear to both of them tonight that if either one of them EVER talks to me like the way they talk to each other I'm going to stay at Mom's and I'm going cancel/change passwords for everything I pay for. I also told M that we have to make getting our own place a priority. I'm not sure if he really wants to move out and if he's not willing to do that or make our relationship the priority and it comes down to it then I guess I'll be trying to find a room for rent or house share situation here. Honestly that fills me with a lot of anxiety and dread but I'll have to deal with it if that's what it comes to.

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

That was really brave of you, askye, especially in the face of giant what-ifs and anxiety and dread.

Our wings are not tired.

Health~ma for the Zmayhem clan! I'm fairly isolated and careful, but DH is out and about every day so I am grateful that we have dodged it so far. I know too many people who have done things right and still got infected.

JZ, I'm finally getting to the point where I have to be brave and can't put off avoiding being scared.

That's hard, askye. That is a lot of change to manage/think about. Good for you for addressing it.

Thanks. His mom kind of apologized, well she said she was sorry if she talked harshly to me but that she wasn't going to apologize to M. I told her I accepted her apology , the other thing was between her and M and that if she wants or needs my help she will have to ask politely and give me some notice or let me wind down what I'm doing because I won't drop everything. Which she seemed to accept . Now I just have to follow through.

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

Good for you, askye. That can’t have been easy.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Good for you askye.

So delighted for the Zmayhem! Um, about the house, not the Covid. It’s a wonderful house, and after fighting so hard to keep SF home I’m glad to see you getting something with so much character, and that will open up options for Emmett and Matilda.

Sleep study achieved. Results in a week.

Now that I'm home, bacon reward.
