Geeks... we are them...

I’m trying to get the normal start to my day going, but that's easier said than done because I've got a teenager passed out on the bed next to me. I also slept in because Bran was up until 4 AM playing video games. In his defense, though, the teenager didn't go to bed until midnight and he still needed his normal decompression time. Plus it was Watchdogs and that's a game I actually like watching him play.

The teenager was up because she wanted to finish Volume 4 of RWBY with me.

Geeks... we are them.

Mental Health / Unfuck Yourself:

- Therapy – I feel very fearless moving forward with Bran... again, if my daughter trusts him, then I know I can trust him... I don't really feel there's anything more that needs to be said or justified on the matter.

As for my other mental health issues... I know how to avoid my triggers. That's the only reason I'm doing so well. Believe me, if I stumbled into one of my triggers, I'd be royally fucked up, fast.  

It's only the fact that I'm in a safe place that makes all the difference right now.

- Writing – Still on Hold -  I took yesterday off from knitting too. I was just too tired.

- Reading – Her Herem was a bust, I could barely make it through the first five chapters. Then I started on this bullshit called Infection Z, also a complete waste of my time. The chapters were too short for me to get into the meat of the story within the five chapter rule, so I extended it out to ten chapters, just hoping it would get better. It didn't. I couldn't even finish chapter 10, it was just so bad. Mostly because I couldn't connect to the main character at all. He was just too much of a loser for me.

- Sleep / Fitbit – 7 hours 9 minutes, 11 minutes to fall asleep, 3x awake, 12x restless, 29 minutes awake/restless.

- Fur-babies – We had a lovely visit from Dreamy last night. He laid out and took his nap between the Unicorn and I. He got some good pets and cuddles in too. And, of course, he got his 'sniff' in whenever one of us appeared with food. He even took a few tiny bites off of my Danish. No frosting or filling, just pastry bread. Then he finished his nap and went out to spend some time with Bran before Catmom came to pick him up. It was a very good visit. Dreamy is well loved here.

Physical Health / Unfuck Yourself:

 - Inflammation - // - Exercise/Yoga - Okay! So we have some answers here. My chiropractor says to just dial back on the exercise. He says I'm pushing it too hard and that I should listen to my body more. When it starts to feel really fatigued, that's when I need to STOP. He says it might not feel like I'm getting as much of a workout in, but it should trigger less inflammation that way.

Also, eat Paleo. Obviously.

Relationships / Family:

- Bran - // - The Unicorn – The best part about this staycation of the Unicorn's is watching Bran successfully re-bond with her. Hearing the way he refers to her as HIS daughter to other people, NOT his _step_ daughter. Being a part of it when he comes into hug me and he'll pull her into it too so she gets a hug as well. Watching the way he'll play with her by kidnapping her Cthulhu and running off with it so she has to chase him down.

Last night he did the cutest thing. He came in and kidnapped her entire entourage and ran off with them. She chased him through the apartment and he came back and put them back down.

Then there was this time when she was protecting her entourage by having all of her stufflings in her arms and he picked her AND her stufflings up and tried to run off with her.

Super cute...  

…

… Bran knows he made mistakes.

He's making up for them now.

Relationships / Sweeties:

- Updates on Favorites -  

- Blue Falcon – Now I just have to hope I can get this place cleaned up before he gets here.  :/

- Sweeties -

- Potentials – FRIDAY:  It's been a while since I've heard from Friday, but I got a note from him this morning telling me that he'd messed up his phone and lost all his contacts. Fortunately he'd still had out conversation saved on Fet, or I would have been lost to him forever.

Friday is probably the only Potential that I would still consider because he has something that I know I still need in my life. He has the ability to be aggressive with me in the ways in which I need someone to be aggressive... so he says... it still remains to be seen, of course.

But I do still consider him.

Now it's just a matter of justifying it to Bran without triggering any of Bran's insecurities.

But, as we've seen, Friday has yet to work it out so he can come see me at all... so, cross that bridge whenever.  

To be honest, I kinda doubt it would happen. I'm not sure if we could coordinate Bran's off days with Friday's off days enough to make it happen.

I mean, there's always the weeks where Bran's going to be out of town... so, maybe...  

It would be nice to see how that would play out.

I do still think about Friday sometimes.

End Notes:  

Okay... I'm off to get some more coffee in me and see if I can get this place cleaned up a bit.

Wish me luck!!
