huge dev update my grandma is gonna see a psychologist
#pogchamp#finally i don't have to play that role i'm not trained or mentally stable enough to handle anymore#she should have gotten therapy DECADES AGO sis lost both her children through tragic circumstances and had a miserable childhood#she didn't because her generation just worked like that ig and i'm not blaming her for not going but i am GLAD she will now#hopefully it works out she So needs it she's got so much on her mind and super bad anxiety#honestly i'm proud of her for even considering it because she used to dismiss the thought with 'eh at my age it's too late'#plus if she sees my psych i can make the trip with her no problem#And i already know him really well so if she's got any questions about what he's like i can answer those ez#honestly he's the first and only psychologist i've been to but he's Brilliant#super respectful super invested in his patients' well being will never pry too far will never make you feel wrong or blamed#absolutely Nailed handling my coming out has a lot of experience with all kinds of people nice and calming and friendly as hell#i hope it's not an issue that i'm seeing him too like idk if they have some sort of thing where#seeing members of a same family could interfere or something#i don't think so that doesn't seem quite right but who knows ???#anyway So glad for her i really hope she can feel better with this#even if it's just talking to someone about all her thoughts and her fears it's already such a big step to start feeling better#because like. she talks to me but she doesn't say Everything y'know. especially stuff about my transition#she's scared she'd hurt or upset me so she keeps a lot to herself and she just ruminates on it all day long#her brain doesn't have a single second of rest and she worries about Everything#example. she was anxious because her apartment has a bathtub but no shower so she's only been able to wash from the sink#they're going to install a shower soon and she was happy because Finally she's gonna be able to wash herself fine#but now she's anxious about the construction and how she's gonna arrange her furniture and her water consumption#a problem solved = a new problem with her#i honestly suspect she might be autistic because she's also like. very. routine-ish#like This Item Has To Be Here. i have to go to This Place on That Day at That Time#she doesn't like sitting still she doesn't really pick up on jokes and sarcasm there's just...#a LOT of unresolved things with her. she really needs help and i can't wait for her to get it

OMG everyone, Today was such a really great day!
It started out a little stressful. I haven't been able to sleep since the new job started. I even tried sleeping with the dogs, how sad is that? It's sad, I know it's sad. I'm just used to sleeping with Hanni Gustav.
The bed feels so cold and empty and awful, like a grave.
Like my grave. *Sigh*
So someone snuck in to give me a little night cap that first night, just so I could sleep. What can I say? He loves me. I'm spoiled, I'm ok with that.
I'm supposed to be emotionally honest here so I'm just gonna say, I miss him so much my soul feels out of alignment. Have you ever been in love like that? I didn't think it was possible until I was. So here I am! *Unenthusiastic yay*
I'm not brooding, ok hon? I can feel your professional psychologist face from here.
Like I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted by my own imagination, last night I had to sleep in a motel, and don't get me wrong. I knew that was coming but fuck me, maybe it's less that I miss my husband, and more that I miss our fancy sheets ok? If you tell anyone I said that I'll eat you deny it. The flannel sheets at Wolf trap my new house are ok. But these institutional industrial quality shitty motel sheets? I can feel every strand. I might as well be sleeping on fucking sand paper.
So I was grumpy this morning, my skin was raw from tossing and turning, I didn't have coffee or food or anything. Then here comes my knight in garish plaid armor, with coffee and a protein scramble.
When I was a kid I always got in trouble because I didn't like adults hugging me. It made me feel to crowded. Getting that close to people meant knowing things about them I didn't want to know, things they wouldn't want me to know. I never thought I could be touchy until I met Gustav. When he touches me, I feel so peaceful and rooted, like an old oak tree. I want to know his whole soul, his everything. He never feels oppressive or overbearing.
I've never wanted a hug so bad in my life. I might have disassociated into his chest hair for five minutes or five days *so close, so far away*
But the breakfast, was made from ingredients we picked together, it was as close to a hug as I could have just then, like a hug from the inside... Yeah I said that. fuck it. I'm leaving it.
So now we get to the fun part!
It was take your secret spouse to work day. I honestly don't know how I got through so many years of not taking my secret spouse to work with me. Work is so much better with my secret spouse.
secret spouse
secret spouse
secret spouse
Fuck, I gotta stop saying SECRET SPOUSE
Ok I think I have it out of my system.
So first we were doing some boring paperwork and that was whatever but then we got to do a... Let's call it a field exercise, together. For very valid professional reasons I have to be very vague about that. But it was so exciting.
And Gustav was so... Perfect, beautiful, graceful. Fellas is it gay to be hot for your husband when he's cool, calm, collected, and covered in blood brilliant under pressure? Asking for a friend...
So this was the first actionable step of the final phase of our plan & we did it! Together! God I'm so excited and relieved.
So this is it. We're doing it.
Now if only I could sleep in that GAWDAMN cold bed. I would feel perfect.
Wish me luck everyone, or don't Because we don't need luck. We have each other.
