I feel so exhausted.
Every time there's a challenging time, I need to then scour the internet because I feel like I have no other resource, no other support. Family brushes our concerns about our son aside; I have no parenting friends; I have almost no friends to connect with (beyond one, but I don't want to be excessive in regaling all of this); ( Read more... ) -

That feeling when you realize that therapist you're seeing can't actually help you and has blinders on that inhibits their ability to create a secure relationship.
Back to square one. Having to find someone new.
Also, thanks to reddit, I found what I wish I'd had as a statement to say to her when I brought up that I think I might be on the spectrum ( Read more... ) -

Trying to explain to my mother for the third time that I think I'm actually ASD, and she refuses to see it/acknowledge it, and it's frustrating as heck. Her repeated refrain is "no you're not," and her "evidence" is based on outdated stereotypes related to empathy and emotion.
She also told me I'm "highly social" and internally I was like ... are ( Read more... ) -

I am so burned out that I can barely process being burned out.
I've worked all day, and then at 9:30 I can breath except I can't because I have work to finish that I couldn't finish this afternoon because it's not easy work: it takes time and mental gymnastics.
I'm exhausted, and I want time to decompress and do something for me, but I can't. I ( Read more... ) -

Of the four writing courses I am teaching this semester, one is made-up of 41 students, and I am finding this to be too many. With the expectation that there are weekly assignments, I did everything I could to intersperse low-stake and high-stake assignments not only to relieve the grading and feedback burden, but also to give my students a chance ( Read more... ) -

Sit with toddler until toddler falls asleep. Eat. Pack. Shower. Work. Play.
Eat for 30 min. Pack (30 minutes minimum). Shower/dry hair (30 minutes minimum). Work (grade eleven mini essays using a rubric I'm still getting used to ... probably 90 minutes low estimate).
Three hours gone BOOM before "play" can begin.
Weep.

DAMNIT, I think I picked the RENEGADE option on Mars with my Paragon Shepard AGAIN just like in all my previous playthroughs (without realizing the consequences until now...).
Nooooooo.
But he seriously pisses me the heck off (obviously).
Spoiler(s):
[spoiler 1]But what a way to set the tone of the ending (re. effect of choices) before you're anywhere near ( Read more... ) -

Has a Superintellect Monkeyed With Our Universe’s Physics?
It got worse: To form carbon at all, gravitational forces must be balanced just right with the electromagnetic forces. That’s just the start…

Why must there be a reason?
This universe is the way that it is, and so we - and all simple and complex life - happen to be here as a ( Read more... ) -

Taking care of my toddler all day (with my partner of course), but it can take a toll on one's energy (understatement?).
Also starting to feel the cold my child and partner have been experiencing. Throat starts to hurt. Tired.
My mom stops by as she's in town, which was pre-planned.
She was going to drop-off a birthday gift for my child's cousin.

I'm pretty sure Netflix's Persuasion was created for [let me redact this because it's just ageist but in all honesty I was thinking of myself] viewers who "know of" Jane Austen, who might indulge in the fantasy of historical period films with a wistful romantic ideal, but certainly it was not written for someone who has read the actual novel, nor ( Read more... )
