Not specifically. I believe there was some pain and possibly later reflection on a poor choice. It was very very cold, as can happen there...

Good choice. I have experienced frustration and related directed at me, but this sounds just plain unhinged. Yeah, create some distance, can't be solved in the moment. So hard not to engage

In ancient times I had a very small & likeable nokia "candy bar" phone. Loved it for its size. Couldn't do 2% of what a mainstream "phone" can do now but you could, you know, call & talk to people

Our dog got on to the dinner table after it was cleared (except for the butter dish & some empty glasses), wolfed down the full stick of butter, lept off when we noticed and, for her grand finale, barfed it all up on the living room carpet.

Beautiful artwork

I'm fascinated that all this detailed drawing is done pretty much only with your wrist, or so it seems

Was gonna put up a song as reply that had 'lies' as the main lyric but you know there are so many great songs to choose from, and not sure I've found the one that properly captures this moment. For now, your summary is excellent

This is great!

I have been wondering how to do something like this with some small potted schefflera that seem to tell me daily they would really just like to have the environment and freedom to be trees.
Which, sadly perhaps, is not happening
