I've started the process to take a one-semester leave-of-absence from my PhD work (so I won't lose my credit standing), because I just can't right now.

Go for it, Shady.

On why we ALL must be?

Well...there's the obvious....

YES.

Did you hear what the President did today?

no?

And...I guess we've all been on alert for four years, and now that we have Relative Normal with a side helping of Improved Sense of Safety, we can finally rest a bit, so we are.

No, I didn't hear, Shady.

HE LED. HE GOVERNED.

chuckle And he did it with a damn good staff.

HE DIDN'T MAKE AN EMBARRASSING ASS OUT OF HIMSELF.

We're all, I think, going through a HOT decompression. If we get the mental/emotional/spiritual bends.... well DUH.

Namaste, ya'll, Namaste.

Be easy on yourselves.

I just bought $50 worth of envelopes.

blink Envelopes?

Yes.

I'm...not following the train of thought, there.

Two different trains.

1. We all have the existential bends and 2. I needed envelopes.

bemused look, pats you on the back Well, okay then.

When a person is on high-alert, constantly vigilant, for days/weeks/months at a time without real respite, that's how you get PTSD.

Namastamp!

So if we're all a little beat? Want a nap? Hey.

mm naps

I took one this afternoon. Simply could not keep my eyes open, set the alarm for 20 minutes, and instantly dropped into REM sleep. Not deep sleep, just coasted slightly under the surface. Bonus: kitty curled up against me.

Awww 🙂

those are good naps

YUP.

Woke up to see an absolutely perfect sunset outside my window.

nice

Oh, score. That's wonderful.

Mmm I'm trying to remember WHAT brekke was already told about

Mostly I think I've got everything except stuff from Symon and possibly if there's anything from Piper/Jonas she doesn't already know.

Oh sorry

What did I miss?

Piper is useless :) she know nothing

The Gathering at RV PBEM if Symon wants to chime in any other details

was brekke told Dagmar killed a nocker?

chimerically!

Actually, I don't know if Brekke knows about the dead nocker....

I don't think she does

I know she doesn't know stuff from Symon's trip.

Or at the very least, I'd like some more of that info centralized at this one point in the PBEM. 🙂

I think Jonas said that the body was at Caer Falken and folks nodded at him not asking "What body?" 🙂

But I'll put up something more specific

I’m pretty sure that Symon did share his info with Brekke? Or I could be making that up. I’ll send a recap to the email

Thanks. I'm just....blehhhhh makes circling gesture at brain-pan
