crazy cat lady adjacent, mh (+++), headfriends
I do have to say... I'm not only less stressed out than I was this morning after the first round of conversations with her, I'm less stressed out than I was *before* it.
I feel good. Peg and I got a little heated at each other during the whole mess and... I am so different from who I was at Transliminal. I stayed calm. I kept my sense of humor. I felt my temper starting up and I smushed it within seconds.
And I was SO DIPLOMATIC AND CHARMING with this old lady. I think I really did a good job of turning myself from an Untrustworthy Young Person who might endanger her cats by slacking off, to a stressed-out potential friend who really just wants to help but is in over his head. What can I say-- I know crazy old Catholic ladies, grew up among 'em, they always freakin' love me. :D
I should talk more about Brill, my punky anthro Australian Shepherd demonslayer headfriend. I summoned her up to get me through last winter's kitten crisis and she stuck around. She was so much help. It's good to have a self who is calm and mature yet a little fierce. Fearless. I love all my previous attempts at a Counselor Headfriend and we still have visits, but NOBODY has been able to wrangle me like her. Best puppy.
(Mне жаль, Laika, you know I love you too! <3 )

I know it's been a heck of a day for both of you, but gosh you knocked it out of the park <3 I'm so happy to hear that you made it through, and are feeling well! You should feel proud, and I'm proud of you.
Life can be weird and annoying, and you're making it weird and wonderful instead ❤️ Plus, I know those cats will be very happy, and you are going to have SO many points stored up with Bast!
