Drama llamas
Everything's moved over. It isn't quite there yet, but it's almost livable. Better than when home was Jinxed, actually, because that was two homes' worth of stuff in one place with no wiggle room. Semi-reasonable in my head in that it was a temporary arrangement, but in actual practice, stepping over stuff every day and walking through a maze was... bothersome, although still kind of cool in one mindset.
Anyways. We're just a few steps away from having a well-ordered place. Sweetheart keeps trying to convince me to go to Ikea for wall shelves; not a bad idea given how much headspace the loft has, but I'm still holding out to see how much we need given the shelves we already have.
Can totally sympathize with raoin about avoiding FB because of bad feelings, but it only comes up when I use it a certain way. I need to change how I think. Especially the way I think about how other people think.
A good friend posted a splendidly concise flow chart about male entitlement. I responded with a question about possible fallout of the concept, and was rebuffed by someone else for derailing. I apologized and tried wording it differently, and was accused a second time. At that point, I totally withdrew from the conversation, relatively certain that I couldn't say anything without the same reaction. I feel like she might have been over-reacting, but my training tells me to defer to the people who see the harm.
I have since seen a dozen ways I could have done or worded things differently, and even more significantly, a pretty good answer to my original question.
(grumble grumble) Stupid staircase wit. Stupid ego. (grumble grumble)
Saw a raptor while walking through the park. Discovered that it's shorter to walk from her work than to get dropped off.
Oh good, managed to post before leaving. Time to pick up pumpkins and food!
