I noticed that I've been feeling grumpy, perhaps from feeling sick. I think I've been able to refrain from acting as grumpy as I feel, but still... I'm feeling better and am making a special effort to be pleasant and verbally playful.
P showed me some photos on her FB page and I got a quick glimpse of her status - in a R. Hmm. At least she's not out advertising in that format. And I have to admit that I was all excited and it took me quite some time to get back to "isn't that interesting?" There's another reason for me not to set up an account there. Oy!

SD, sorry you are not feeling well. sounds like you are doing so so well though during the visit. you deserve some neon duct tape for sure, but you may not need it.

That was just me abbreviating, Zig. FB spells it out as NG did. Really, I think it's too much of a PIA for her to bother changing it when her only computer at the moment is a smartphone. However, there were chunks of the summer where she had her computer up and running. I doubt her FB status is a high priority for her. Not even sure if it's on her radar at all. It sure made mine buzz, though!
Little time for posting. We're getting into the thick of the big project and dealing with the usual frustrations - P gets frustrated by me wanting to do more up front research than she does. She's impatient to be swinging a hammer. So far, we've been able to talk about it and come up with solutions.
This morning she brought up her promise to stay "as long as necessary". She's freaking out realizing what a big project it is. I let her off the hook and told her that I didn't really believe her when she said it. (Well, actually, I did believe it when she said it, but came to doubt it over time. Same difference, I guess.) She laughed and said, "That's good!" and sounded greatly relieved.
I'm worried about how I'll get it all done, but I don't want her sticking around if she's twitching to go. So, we'll see. I can worry about that later.
I also noticed that once she got me to give positive feedback on her buff bod, she backed right off. Just wanted to make sure I'm still on the hook, I guess. Well, she can't resist asking me to scratch her back now and again.
I have to limit GAL stuff because she's come all this way to help on my project. It's really lame if I'm off playing and impeding progress. I get more points for being ambitious and productive.
I'm still with the program on eating, exercise, and PMA. I'm away every other week for work and I have one evening commitment on the week I'm home. That all seems reasonably balanced.
Okay, back to the picnic y'all. Or, wait, are we meeting at NG's pool?
SD, love how you reassured P when she felt overwhelmed. I really feel your Pia work coming through... you seem like an "observer", noticing and throwing out "isn't that interesting" along the way. you are truly loving her, giving her space while also taking care of yourself by managing your thoughts.. and yes, i think we need a pool party ((((((( ))))))))
