Brain Dump

there's a lot in my brain as is probably evident by the title of the post


  • there was a thing I read that brought to mind nana.  I hadn't seen her in person in years.  I hadn't talked to her on the phone in months.  On one hand I feel guilty about it.  On the other, I feel that most of the time me talking to her would have confused her more and/or been difficult for her.  But then I remember hearing mom say, "No, Ma, I can't come tomorrow, I'm in Seattle.  No, {Mhari} can't come either, she's here with me."  I means a lot that I was in her mind at least sometimes.  
  • I'm still full of resentment that there wasn't a funeral Mass.  
  • I'm tired of everyone talking about how they feel about the Newtown rampage in relation to being a parent. Eff you all.  Parents don't have the market cornered on being upset about a school shooting.
  • Which brings to mind...bullshit - it's always on my mind...which brings to the front of my mind.  I am still working on the fact that I'm never going to be a mother.  Sometimes I think I've reached a level of acceptance, and then something gutpunches me and I come unhinged.  Can't spend very much time in vicinity of a baby section at a store.  Had a major mental break one time because I didn't know "we" were going baby shopping for someone - hadn't prepared myself to spend effing 45 minutes in a baby store with indecisive shoppers.
  • On a really really really really REALLY positive note there's J-dub.  I love him. A lot. Which weirds out Sistah Dubh - I think....more that I met him online.  None of the local boys stepped up.  Dumbasses don't know what they missed.  There's talk of cohabbing in the future (I wish it was the near future - we'll see).
  • I need to get my act together and work on finding a new job (do I stay in this field? do I stay with the current organization?)
  • I need to move - the level of hostility toward the idiot is almost scary.
  • Is it possible that I can do this regularly - ever?
I think that's everything right now.
