Lots and lots of ~ma, Susan.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...
'Shindig'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I just did it when I looked up from my right-hand monitor and switched to my left-hand monitor. I pulled up the internet browser but couldn't remember what I was going to do. Not even ten seconds later!
I'll send someone a link in chat and then 10 seconds later not be able to remember what it was.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
That is to say I didn't book the tickets yet. When is that business trip?
OK I reread your Google doc, and actually my possible trip is the week after you're planning to leave NYC so we should be fine. Whew!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Much boob ~ma for Susan!
I have been reading a lot lately on how high-masking smart neurodivergent women just FALL THE FUCK APART during perimenopause because all of the coping mechanisms we've been using since puberty were built on a foundation of mostly reliable hormone levels, which, as it turns out, were pretty important for day-to-day functioning.Seriously, just @ me next time.
Yep, I am falling the fuck apart! And I still am remembering more than my coworkers, but I need them to take up my slack! But of course I shouldn’t so I shouldn’t be angry!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I wore a Firefly tshirt yesterday and had two people freak out about how much they loved the tshirt and Firefly, including the mom I was having coffee with. So, that was fun. I don't usually find many geeks in this town.

Tell me about it. Also my meds are like, "fuck off we don't feel like working for you right now" which apparently is also a thing in perimenopause. Fun times.
Susan, that sounds good. Continuing to send good thoughts your way while you wait for the results.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm afraid New Orleans is off the menu for this trip (but oh how I loved it there! I still remember dancing in the street with you), but I'd absolutely love to see you again.
Ha! Remember we got invited in to “work the pole” at a place on Bourbon St? And I was so proud of finding you a non-spicy poboy and then the mustard was too much. That was a fun day.
Count me in the neurodivergent falling apart group. I have an IUD, so I don’t get my period any more, but night sweats have started and my hair has thinned A Lot and it feels like my muscles are melting away and my brain is Swiss cheese. My usual mechanisms for not remembering things is not working. The lifesaver right now is being able to get Siri to set a reminder verbally when something floats to the top for a moment.

We should start a club!
I've been doing a lot of errands outside of the house this week, but I'm exhausted (I have another uti and I'm still fucking coughing even though I'm no longer sick). So, I'm trying to be productive on the computer today so that I'll actually have the spoons to go out later this afternoon with thessaly.

I have a cold that keeps dragging on. I haven’t literally been sick ever since Xmas but that is what it feels like. This may be my lungs’ long-fomenting revolution coming to fruition.
We should start a club!
Right?! This is it. This is the club. Thankful to have y’all for company. I started reading Menopause Manifesto but it’s a bit dry. I may need to try the audiobook or get a physical copy for reference instead of an e book from the library.
I had much-needed therapy this morning and now I need to get up and do some exercises and finish getting the room together for -t’s arrival tonight? Doan wanna.
