On the other hand, yeah, the bitterness is back at the surface... but that's basically the precipate left behind by getting rid of a whole bunch of sadness. =^___^=
Peg has been five-starring it lately, as a companion and friend. Parallax is coming out fucking GORGEOUS. And the last round of supportive comments finally knocked the idea out of my head that the quiet response is anything but "looks great but we're waiting for things to start happening!"

And you know? The path that got me here may still have been totally worth it. The failures I committed were not even remotely the failures I expected, and here I am, at least dealing in the aftermath. Everything I thought I loved and was committed to fell apart, REAL fast... but in the grand analysis, I am merely about as screwed as I was 10 years ago. Which is pretty screwed, really, but again... here I am.
It's OK. Life is still very OK, and that's better than Not OK.

Also, had a great visit with @green and got to meet their cats (who gave me a number of useful and practical Catting tips). Tomorrow Peg and I are going to a freakin' water park. My bosses still love me and I'm doing one of them a huge favor today. I'm slated to go back on the podcast I co-founded after a long hiatus.
Oh, and after a shameful 40-year history of scrubdom, I finally feel REALLY GOOD at most of the video games I'm playing. It's 2018; that's a good life. XD
