  Crying. The chicken we were supposed to make for dinner came out of its package rotten. Thrown out immediately. We were looking forward to lemon chicken.

  So, tomorrow is our annual "Yea we're not at Pennsic" party. Once called the Pennsic Pity Party. Lots of cleaning to do, hubby has to make a grocery run. And tomorrow will be 12 people at Bag End, hopefully having fun eating, drinking and making merry. We hope we manage to be okay.

  Hubby nearly got clobbered over making dinner tonight. We are having ground-turkey-pasta-sauce and hubby called it dinosauce.

  Nicely grilled steelhead trout for dinner, simply cooked with OO, salt and pepper, lemon drizzled on after cooking. Spinach on the side. Very tasty. Hubby does good fishies.

  The Voidvods were up and attem this morning. Knocked down one of the window shades in the bedroom, knocked over the litterbox in the bathroom, bit the hubby's toes and ankles and got his earbuds to play with. We have a coffee float, and have taken our meds, so we aren't super mad anymore.

  Timeline. 1993 - we start intensive psychotherapy after our dad passes away (cancer) and the divorce from dipshit two years before. We are floundering, we are suicidal. 1994 - after a year of 3-4 sessions a week, we have some answers. We are plural, we have lots to go. 1995 - two years of 3-4 sessions a week. We have a job, but things aren't improving much. Too many traumas to sort through. 1996 - Breakthrough, lots of screaming and crying and vomiting at our sessions. 1/?

  Therapy session today. We spoke about finding people on here who are also neurodivergent via DID. Our therapist thinks that's a good thing.
