Better Results Than I Feared

So JMG was very supportive in his comment back to me– saying essentially, “Derision and scorn? Not on an Archdruid’s forum!” which was cool of him. It wasn’t his derision and scorn I feared, however, but rather most of his very practical and nutz-n-boltz reality people that frequent his commentary pages. I’ve been made fun of a little already there (no surprise that, eh?) but I’m rather used to people raising their eyebrows at me. I’m a little cockeyed in my approach at times, its true.

Anyway, that went well.

Another discussion that went well-? My last talk with Gerick.

He’s been turning bitchy again (and at the wrong time for me, since my hormones are making me all kinds of extra-assertive here lately!) and I just can’t deal with it. A bad day or mood here or there, okay– yeah, we all have them. But when he comes home from work sour and mean day after day after day? Yeah– NO. Not okay with that.

We talked about how he needs to just take a few ‘jobs’ at a time around here and keep it light and simple and stop pressuring himself so much. It doesn’t have to be an ordeal all the time.

I also pretty much told him he has to be lazy sometimes. I mean, laying down doing NOTHING practical what-so-ever kind of lazy (because even his version of play is work to most people.) He agreed that his work was high pressure and he was bringing it home and taking it out on me again. Old habits and all of that. I don’t have it in me to tolerate it anymore, though. I said he has to figure out ways to just let go of shit and take it easy. I’ve taken up a lot of slack here lately because my flares, after popping up so much in the very recent past, seem to have backed way off. I have little pain, no fatigue, and no fog and I am kicking ass on the home front. I told him he needs to enjoy it when I’m doing well and bask in some well-earned LAZE time while he can. Lady knows my flares will be back again regularly soon enough. He has to take advantage of the reprieve while he can! I know I sure do!

So he started today– coming home from work and just taking a dip in the pool and laying on the floaty mattress for over an hour and a half. By the time he dipped again and got out he was as mellow as milk. Now THAT’S what I’m talking about, baby! Just rest for a spell now and again.

This weekend no faerieworlds for us for once. We’re just getting some odd jobs done around here and relaxing. Next year I would like to do a festival or 2– maybe FWs but maybe something else, who knows? I am okay with a low pressure weekend. We have one party to go to Saturday night and that is it for us this weekend. Otherwise? *shrugs*
