I literally started my card with "I have no words". And then followed with a few short, far from eloquent sentences.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

I have lots of words. Too bad none of them are, I don't know, MAGIC.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I knew I wasn't going to have any adequate words so I sent scratches and light. Literally. Hopefully in a form that was recognizable enough to mean something.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I loved that dress, and was so happy to see Matilda wear it. I don't think I have that photo anywhere I can find it, so if you do, please post it again somewhere and tell me. Not that you need another task right now.
I definitely have lots of baptism pictures, so I'll round some up for you.
As an answer to the perennial "How are you doing?" queries I'll note that David had an instance of "emotional dysregulation" last night.
Fortunately none of the people I was yelling "Fuck!" at were the people in the room, but relatives-in-law at a distance who were trampling boundaries in a stress inducing way.

Hec, you have earned the right to say fuck as many times as you feel the need to.

That's the safety valve doing it's job.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I cannot honestly imagine being as graceful, eloquent, and loving in such a painful situation as you have been, David.

You wouldn't be human if you didn't, Hec. I get upset over far less than all of that(Although there are, you know, real things, too. But I can't quite pull off being enough of an OG Greta Tunberg to pull off a contention that the climate crisis is what breaks my heart *every day*, but it is often in the mix. )

Because books.
I stayed home sick today after breaking down at work yesterday. Suddenly a mental health day didn't seem like a luxury. My coping today has been making a video appt with the doctor about my cough and head, sleeping a LOT, and setting up with a new therapist for an appt on Friday, because I really need someone to talk to.
(I tried a few months ago with a very sweet older gentleman, but he worked for 40 years at the VA dealing with anxiety et al in PTSD veterans, and all he really did was give me breathing tips. Which is not so much helpful with depression, it turns out.)
