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

It is pretty early, but I never have actual trick or treaters, this would just be for desk at work and it doesn't seem to be a problem that it ages a while in a drawer. And I prefer having bats or pumpkins or whatever if I can

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

Happy Happy Birthdays, Sophia and smonster!

Oh, wow. I thought I posted bday wishes...

Happy Birthday to smonster, and Happy Birthday to Sophia!

Just had a lovely dinner with my friends from a law firm we all worked together in in the '90s - we do dinner for each other's birthdays. So fun. And now heading to a Ben Folds concert -- DH is a huge fan. Should be fun. Nice evening. One of those you want to remember.

And then going home to the sweet new addition to the family, Birdie. Nice.

Yeah, Happy anniversary Teppy. I'm so happy for you that I'm only slightly envious.

And Happy Anniversary, Steph and Tim!

Because books.

Happy birthday to Sophia!

Happy birthday to smonster!

Wishing you both cake and lots of joy!

And happy anniversary to Steph and Tim! You two are absolutely my #couplegoals.

Also belated happy birthday to erika! I hope there *was* cake and joy!

WRT to therapy, I think it's something most people would benefit from, and not only in times of grief. But I've learned (for me, anyway) it has to be the *right* therapist, and that can be hard to find. When my dad died, it was totally sudden -- we had spent the evening before celebrating his birthday, and he was in great spirits. I know I could have used an outlet for my grief, but the idea of searching for that right therapist was exhausting.

David, at any rate, I think most people who love you but feel helpless about the situation are trying to offer some kind of useful suggestion. It really just means they care about you, I think.
