Nursery are insistent that we should name things to stop them getting lost or taken by the wrong children.
Except - we've had two things that have gone missing in our time--the two items of clothing that WERE named

Sometimes I think I'm an expert at masking and then I remember that if I were, I'd probably be better at retaining friends and not irritating people, urg

I'm officially shelving my timey wimey fantasy (I mean, I shelved it in June, but just haven't had the time to do a lot of writing admin over the past couple of months) and having looked through my querying spreadsheet, it turns out it's had 99 rejections. Sooo...one more query, then?

What I do so love (hate) about functioning depression is that I can get on with my day job stuff and laugh at temporary jokes and things that amuse me, but underneath it, I'm just constantly hurting and apathetic to things that cerebrally I know I love.

My dad in Intense, but one of the reasons I enjoy his company is that I get to ask random questions that occur to me without being made to feel like they're stupid questions. The way I process information is by asking first non yes-no question that comes to mind, to seek more data.

“[R]acism may wear a new dress, buy a new pair of boots, but neither it nor its succubus twin fascism is new or can make anything new. It can only reproduce the environment that supports its own health: fear, denial, and an atmosphere in which its victims have lost the will to fight.”

Went to bed with a migraine, took 2 aspirin at 4am when the 2-year-old woke me, woke up for work still in nearly-unbearable pain, and only after 2 hours of work and parenting has the pain relief, cold flannel, bites of dry crackers, and the coffee kicked in.
'Bout 90% sure it's hormonal. :/
