I spent the night in the mouth of a saxaphone

Kinda fell off the world for a few weeks there. Sometimes I have to walk away from people for a short while and think about how maybe setting everything on fire is not the cleansing path forward I am really looking for.

(I have a self-destructive streak a mile wide, but I am not a fucking idiot. Well not an entire one, anyway.)

Had my first appointment with a therapist today. They body knows, she told me. Also had a massage today for the first time in two years. These things are both self-care.

So what did I miss?

Aliens invaded. Then they got fed up with us and left.

That's as plausible as anything else right now.

I'm moved to MI and no one got sick on the way, continue to have my day job online for at least 9 more months, and husband has a new job at the local library. House is up for sale, hunt for new one starts in earnest this weekend (probably).

Congrats on the move. Good luck with the house hunt.

That makes you closer. We might actually see you once in a while once travel becomes a thing that people do.

I will definitely be lobbying for a TO trip after the world stops being quite so risky and borders open back up. It's been far too long for me, I know new(ish) hubby's never been, and it's only a 7 hour drive. And Detroit-area gatherings would be even more feasible.

I know your pain - I've become a master at just walking away from the world for weeks at a time... and then I feel bad about doing it since it makes my friendships more distant. I'm trying to make conscious efforts to not do that since I've spent more time lonely in the past decade.

[the_siobhan]

I mean I'm bad at keeping in touch at the best of times.

[doggiesushi]

Same. Ugh. Same.

Welcome back! Can't tell you what you missed because I've been lying low, too.

Love your icon. Ah, good times....

I feel like I posted a lot in late-July/early August, so you probably missed whatever that was about.

I doubt there way anything notable.
