Hi friends,

keen eyes might have noticed that there's a Ko-fi link in my Tumblr bio now. This is because life is complicated and some unexpected events put a bit of a strain on my finances. No pressure, we're not in dire straits at the moment, but if you want to help with Bianca's vet bills (and are in a place to do so), I would be very grateful.

(I doubt there'll be an excess because these bills are hefty, but in the unlikely event, I will be donating any extra money to Doctors Without Borders, and might donate a % anyway)

#today you tomorrow me #or is it today me tomorrow you in this case?#the beast is mostly fine btw but she's getting thoroughly tested and poked and prodded to make sure she doesn't need surgery #she's being pampered and spoiled in the meantime. yes even more than usual #(if you're new to my blog bianca is my 12yo dog and small-time internet celebrity and my only remaining tether to sanity)

Hi folks! Just wanted to write a quick post that if you send an ask and I don't respond to it immediately, you don't have to repost it, I'm probably just really, really, really tired. And having asks re-sent doesn't make me feel more likely to reply to them!

Give it about a week, and if I don't reply after that, you're welcome to ping me again. But I am on hiatus right now for a reason <333 So please just be patient, because my priority right now is taking care of myself and resting, and being very careful on where I put my energy, which means not getting to asks straight away even if I'd like to sometimes.

#housekeeping #i wish i could get to every ask #let alone every ask quickly #but i often can't these days #i actually replied to a couple of asks today #while waiting for my dog to come out of surgery #and the rest of the day has been spent helping him in recovery #i am very tired #i am so sorry!#but asking me even very nicely to do more when i'm taking a break #because i have been doing too much #and then asking me again when i don't answer within 24 hours #is like asdlkfjd maybe you didn't know i was on hiatus #but i am T.T #idk if folks know this but answering asks often takes me like 10-50 minutes depending on how much detail i go into #which is fine when i have the energy #and is fun #but is like...a lot otherwise

#so one half of the couple i'm house/dogsitting for had an unexpected medical emergency on their trip #which -- i won't go into details but it culminated in a pretty serious diagnosis and emergency major surgery #and now they're coming home today after getting medevac transport back to california #and have asked me to stay here for a few more days while they settle in #as the one who had the emergency needs 24/7 care during recovery but is being released from hospital to recover at home #and they need someone to basically keep looking after the dog/keep her from getting in the way while they figure out what care he needs #anyway i agreed to stay a few days like they asked #which means i'm trying to finish my coursework before they get back later this afternoon but man my focus levels are LOW #and honestly they have been for several days at this point because once again it seems that waiting to hear about medical stuff has become #somewhat of a panic response trigger for me since the extended nightmare of february this year with my dad #and mostly i've been able to compartmentalize but the energy that takes has truly wiped me out #to the point that i'm genuinely shocked it hasn't set off a fibro flare up (touch wood)#also i really don't know this couple very well at all -- they're mostly friends of my parents-in-law #i've looked after their dog for them several times over the past couple of years #but obviously that's been while they aren't home #and i've only had fairly brief interactions with them #so i do feel a bit awkward about being here while they're going through something so serious and personal #but they're nice people and they need the help and i'm able to provide it so i'm gonna push past that #anyway just a tag post venting thing

if you could only see

*read tags for fun facts. mostly written while half asleep. not edited.

"Oh," she says, the corners of her mouth drooping into that familiar frown that accompanied the majority of his high school career. She sets her mug down on the coffee table.

Oh? A similar frown is quick to replace the elated grin his face had adorned when he arrived. "'Oh' is what people say when they get socks on their birthday, Mom. Not when their son tells them that he's engaged!"

"It's just..." she hesitates, as if looking for the correct words. "...you're still so young."

"I'm almost 22. I--"

"Exactly! Only 22!" Emily interrupts. "How can you be sure?!"

"What?! Mom! This is Julie we are talking about!" Luke can't sit still and stands up from the couch. Resentment builds within him. Why can't she ever be supportive from the get go?

"Well.. You've only ever had the one relationship. You can't know what you want really, never having experienced other relationships."

His mouth drops open in disbelief. She cant honestly be suggesting what he thinks she might be.

"I thought you liked Julie!" His hand flies up with the statement, emphasizing his frustrations.

Emily stands, no longer able to remain seated as the conversations heats up.

"Luke, Julie is lovely. And lord knows she's done you a world of good, but you could really benefit from dating around a little!"

Oh, so she is saying what he thought she was saying.

He let's out a humorless huff of a laugh. "Are you insane? You think I should give up the best thing in my life, a sure thing, on the chance I might find someone that can make me just as happy somewhere down the line? Yeah, that math doesn't check out."

She is getting visibly agitated now as she takes a step closer to him.

"Julie will always be your teenage girlfriend. Your relationship will never be more than that of children!"

"God. Do you hear yourself?! Julie's not in her teens anymore. Our relationship has grown with us. We have supported each other through personal growth, and continue to challenge each other to be the best we can be! We've already been there through hardship together." Luke leans into Emily's personal space, not wanting to back down. It's a familiar dance at this point, these arguments with his mom. That thought gives him pause but he never drops eye contact.

His mom claims that Julie would prevent him from flourishing as an adult, but in this moment, with Emily, he feels the most like he's a kid again in the worst way possible. Suddenly, he feels very tired. He takes a step back with a sigh.

"You're unbelievable." His normal volume voice sounds quiet after the heightened pitches from a moment before. He turns and heads for the front door. There is no point in staying.

"Luke? Luke! Get back here!" Emily follows after him. "Most marriages at your age end in divorce! I'm just trying to help you not make a mistake that will ruin your future!"

Luke's at the door but he spins suddenly to face Emily one last time. "It's not a mistake, mom! If you could just see all the ways she loves me, maybe you would understand why I feel this way. How I know this is the right thing to do."

"But Luke--"

This time he interrupts her, not caring to hear anymore of what she's likely to say. "I mean, if you could see how bright her eyes get when she says she loves me. I just.. " Julie's smile, eyes full of mirth flashes in his mind, replacing a lot of the angerfilled responses he wants to shout at his mom. "There's no way being with her could ever be a mistake."

He opens the door and steps outside. "If you can't be happy for us, don't bother joining in on the celebrations."

He closes the door behind him. His mom might have tried to say more but he honestly couldn't care less anymore. It's time to head home. Back to the welcoming arms of the woman he loves and can't wait to marry. She makes him a better writer, and a better man. She supports him and his dreams more than his mom ever has. This exchange has proven that all his mom will ever be good for is giving him great song ideas. But the one starting to ruminate in his brain this time promises to be a lot happier than Unsaid Emily.
