morning couch, i'm feeling better this morning, i had that talk with t in my head last night before I fell asleep and i told her everything i shared here and i learned (or remembered?) a very basic thing about myself - when i get overwhelmed by life-stuff, the best thing I can do for myself and the world at large is to put up the 'sorry we're closed' sign and go inside myself a la greta garbo "i want to be alone" for awhile. How I could forget that about myself, I don't know.

Anyway, thanks for putting up with me last night. Closing myself in my office-room last night and being here with my couchies was exactly what the dr ordered - 'alone' from the external stimuli that was too much (h etc), but still 'with' people who understand my particular brand of crazy.... I loves you guys.

Now I must go to work. Have a good day, y'all.
