I'm so sorry, smonster. Be gentle with yourself.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Very glad you are looking out or your own wellbeing, smonster

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thanks, everyone. It sucks so hard. I am resourcing myself - getting a key from a neighbor in case they show up here (I’m not worried about physical danger, just emotional manipulation). Meeting a friend at 2 pm. Plans for Thanksgiving. Making a plan to get my stuff and my cat back this weekend with friends (one of whom is a very, very large Cajun).
Totally dreading talking to my dad about this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so glad you still have your apartment.

today one child has been singing the same handful of lines from Total Eclipse of the Heart on repeat for the last 9 hours
That is just magical, and gave me a much-needed laugh.
In me-me-me news, I got an excellent year-end review and a raise! Now if I could get today's meeting schedule to settle down, that would be awesome.

I got an excellent year-end review and a raise!
Well done!
I'm sorry, smonster. I was very hopeful for this relationship.
I got up, made coffee, finished off my frittata and began to clean the kitchen.
I've started Thanksgiving with my first dish, and I always do this one first because (a) a monkey could do it; (b) it smells so good; and (c) I want it to set up in the fridge: [link]
Emmett will be over at 1:30 and he and Matilda have a Zoom call scheduled at 2:30 with Chris and Angela (Uncle and Aunt) in Portland for a joint Spanikopita to keep JZ's dish on both our tables.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We are currently having an argument with a client about something they want us to deliver, which we never deliver with any client, but this client insisted on it with a prior project as well. And we didn't deliver it, because we DON'T and it wouldn't be helpful, and we showed him how to accomplish the same thing a different way, but NO, he MUST have this document.

Always Anti-fascist!
yeah, it did read as if maybe smonster had found, if not her lobster, a crawfish of some kind. Hope it works out for the best, either way. Good for you, Atropa.
