I travel a few times per year, usually for about a week each time around. I knew this was going to be especially difficult for me this time, and I tried to verbalize that to people around me before I left. I was met with a lot of “Oh, it’s going to be fun” and “Aren’t you lucky to be able to see the world!” But the…

I did find it very helpful - I had no idea how much just saying the things I was feeling out loud would help. Therapy something that I am actively looking toward now, and I’ll report back once it’s in motion.

Thank you. <3

The more awkward, the better! Thank you. :) 

I just spoke to a local counselor and got some recommendations for local, affordable options. Thank you to everyone who responded - it’s good to know that there are people like you, and complete strangers at that, to turn to. 

Thank you for responding. <3

Thank you again. That’s very helpful. 

Thank you. I’m in Canada, but I’m looking up our local options now.

To be honest, I had heard of betterhelp but I wasn’t certain how legit it is - I guess a simple google search would have answered that but it’s good to hear it about from someone with experience with it.

TRIGGER WARNING: I was away from home on business this week, the same week I happened to turn 35. I have been having a difficult time with this birthday for some reason - I was already not looking forward to the long days pacing a trade show floor and filling my evenings with meetings, and my quasi-milestone birth…

Is Kate Beckinsale wearing Adidas tearaways with a crop top?

More importantly, why am I digging that look so much?

You are, and have always been, right. Soggy cereal is for people devoid of personality. #teamcrunch

That’s EXACTLY where my mind went, and it was a great ride.

This is stupid - I exclusively use stemless glasses in the tub/shower.

I had a knockoff puppy one that I bought from Biway and, much like the digital puppy encased within, the console itself died too early.

I believe I paid something like $30 CAD back then, too. 

Not sure, but I would imagine not. There’s gotta be screen grabs somewhere, though. (Or did it predate screen grabs? Dear lord, what a thought ...)

I agree. That was the morning-after-a-long-weekend cynic in me talking. ;) 

Lewinsky looks great.

Honestly, if one good thing came out of The Cosby Show, it is him.
