Scarlet, I think the blanket is such a wonderful thing, especially if you have told L, but even otherwise. It sounds both like something you are processing with the situation as well as your therapy, while putting it into art in some way. I think it's great!
Me myself, just had my last "first teaching experience lesson" (while already teaching, job world is funny), now I'm anxiously waiting for partner to get up. He for some reason lost it again tonight while nothing at all happened plus two sleepy sentences exchanged in the morning. While I don't think he's practically wrong about any of his issues, I don't have the energy to deal with it anymore... however, he's of course hyperfocused on me not leaving him. Kind of sucks.

Ugh, that sounds really difficult with your partner. Hugs to you if wanted. Is he in therapy, or is he willing to try that, whether with you or solo? So that you aren't the main one dealing with it? I'm sure my H is glad I outsource some of my issues...
Agreed about the passage of time. My former high school teacher (the one for whom I had what I now realize was transference) once said something about how time seems to go slowly before a certain age--maybe 27? Then that year it seems to go at a normal pace. Then once you're older than, it seems to go much more quickly. At 47 now, I agree with that, in general. I keep feeling like, "How is it the weekend again already?" Of course, sometimes time can feel like it takes forever.
