Housework.

Communication and togetherness with my primary partner. A lot of communication, wow. Including a difference of opinion that would have been a crisis in my partner's previous relationship, but was just a calibration point between us, with no harm done.

Cut short a possible anxiety loop for my partner by using our newly developed procedures for openness and accountability.

Got the courage to ask about something that meant a lot to me, and maybe explained why it did.

Kitchen experiments, of a sort that will particularly please my partner someday.

Time with my morail.

It's so good to be able to say a sleepy goodnight to my partner, or to have them so relaxed in my presence that we don't even get to goodnight, they just fall asleep in the middle of a sentence. 💙

Holy guacamole, that is a lot of awesomeness! Well done you! (And primary partner and morail.)

♥ I am so happy for you and primary partner. ♥

We are so incredibly treacley with all the love. It's apparently something to behold. Their hosts are very pleased on account of anyone who makes [name] smile that much is worth some approval. (My Purple has observed that I have often been inclined to good cheer, but this is something new.)

I finally got caught up on the first backlog and started in on the second.

A lot of communication with my partner, including a gesture that is largely symbolic for me but that has implications that needed to be paid attention to.

A miscommunication resolved without incident, and then an anxiety loop cut off before it could get started through further communication.

Lots of learning about myself in a short amount if time.

Awesome sauce! Well done you!

[azurelunatic]

Yay, you.

Short visit and a good talk with "it's complicated" partner A. Learned how to drive there and back, so next time it hopefully will be easier and require less starting energy to make the thing happen.

Togetherness and communication with longtime partner S. Addressed some concerns and emotional reactions each of us was feeling in an honest, kind, and loving way. Amazing wonderful snuggles.

Dealt with pain due to current lack of a foam mattress topper (the previous one having shredded when I tried to clean it) by grumping, growling, putting my bedding on the floor so at least there weren't the terrible pressure points, and deciding to go buy one first thing Sunday, instead of completely freaking out which was definitely seeming like a compelling option. Somehow still got a bit of sleep, and woke up not completely awful. Heck I'm giving *myself* a brownie point for not panicking since this was a new level of bad and I had a coping strategy in mind that I manage to use while half asleep and hurting.

[azurelunatic]

Oh wow, that is amazing cope in the face of bad sleep and pain!

[alatefeline]

I am deeply flattered. Thank you for cheering for me.

*tries to sit on the little voice saying 'but it wasn't really that bad' OH COME ON BRAIN*

[nanila]

I applaud you for the self-care in the face of debilitating odds.

Also, YAY the enjoyment of partners' company.

Thanks.
