The problem remains that what I vent is so tangled up and deeply rooted that I can rarely vocalize it in a clear manner. I just sound really crazy. Scare people crazy.
But just being able to finally tell someone really helps. You, Kindlekitten and Marc are the only people I can say these things to and not get that "Ignore him" vibe.

Uh huh. Charting internal territory and talking stuff through takes time (I'm a master at talking ABOUT talking about stuff...
). Sometimes the map says 'Here be dragons' for years...
(there's no dragon smilies!!!)
I vent frequently at work, but I still think we need a boxing bag and a yoga teacher. Box, stretch, meditate, work, box, stretch, meditate.
Marc, my love, mention one more thing about your dinner and I'll be heading for Noosa post-haste to beg for leftovers....
afa, sounds like some of my days!
