Ha! Well, I've told her I'm not going to comment on my post, too, but I may or may not have been on the phone with her when I saw it and given her a five minute lecture on how it's not a competition, how it doesn't actually help to focus on how much worse other people have it, and how I've spent thousands of dollars unlearning the crappy coping mechanisms we both have.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Also, I reminded her it was more than one friend, that my kid was in the damn PICU, and some other crap, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good, good.

The cheddar biscuits were indeed wonderful and I am pleasantly full. I have to admit though, that I needed the reminder that our local Red Lobster is actually kinda sub-par for the chain. Outback grills up tastier lobster and other shellfish, though of course not with as much variety.
I guess it's my day for good-but-not-as-good-as-it-should-have-been food. For lunch I got a chicken salad croissant from the juice bar that's just opened next door to me, and while it was fine it didn't turn out nearly as good as the description sounded.

I mean, obviously not the bad stuff! The other stuff! Sheesh, Jesse.

My therapist would be SO PROUD.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
As am I. And way to tell her not to pull that shit on you. Go therapy!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Gold star for Plei.
Today while my mom and I visited my grandmother, my dad channeled his inner 10 yr old and ate so many cookies that he's sick now. That's taking "young at heart" a bit far, dad.

I've wrapped all gifts but a book I want to finish and the gift cards I need to allot.
Bullshitting with my brother and eldest nephew and it's kinda nice. Eldest turns 13in a couple hrs and I still feel like I can engage with him. Youngest is doing a sleepover with the rents at the hotel. SIL went to bed at 8, and it was well deserved. The narrative has... changed. It's tragic. She's pretty much in warrior mode. I'm trying to step up doing Xmas food without stepping on her toes. I won't do it right, but I'll do good enough.
