Wow this hit home. Just finished a therapy session where we talked about how instead of countering misgendering with a correction and boundaries, I’ve relied on dissociation and minimizing interactions (only really hurts me). Also I just got Guinea pigs who think I’m a totally different person if I put on a coat. So mixed bag…
I love Caesar. Today I'm doing the same thing I was doing last year - subtitling yet another movie, but I had to flip the schedule for the day because they want one part sooner than the rest and so I have my workout to look forward to and the remaining One Chicago shows that I'll watch with the cats from our comforter cave, as Chicago is attempting again yet another impression of Hoth. Now where did I put the Tauntaun crossing schedule...
My daughter and I are watching Encanto tonight and going to Costco tomorrow, so we're clearly exploring similar coping mechanisms. Plus I am learning a new function of Scrivener, guaranteed to take every last ounce of focus. Maybe I'll try baby carrots, too!
Day-to-day, moment-to-moment - having embarked on a no alcohol 7 months journey this week, I am using all of the coping mechanisms that aren't food or booze. Pics of Caesar help and knowing that I am not alone in the struggle helps a lot. Solidarity!
Your baby is as beautiful as the day I adopted him to you!!
*HUG*
Get yourself a king cake! January 6th will always be the start of carnival season.
Caesar always looks like he’s about to tell someone that they don’t have the sense God gave them. I love it!!
Yesterday was rough but the pix of Caesar helped a lot.

Thank you for the Caesar pictures. I needed cute dog pictures today in very acute ways.

Thank you for the Caesar. And the thoughts on being present instead of numb. I appreciate you.
