On Expectations (And A Writer's Lack Of Same) |... →
Oh. Pertinent.
Low expectations are not a recipe for good self-care. You get sour; you drink too much wine; you stop reading because everything you read makes you even more sour; you go on diatribes against successful young writers in the kitchens at parties.

Wet but foggy warm Horoscope Wednesday
TAURUS
April 20-May 20
If you aren’t more flexible, you’ll be unable to let in the good that is trying to enter your life. All change requires some compromise. Don’t overthink things, and practice openness wherever you feel blocked. (SFBG)

Overextended WHAT? Horoscope Monday
TAURUS
April 20-May 20
Step out of fix-it mode, or you’ll end up taking apart the kitchen sink and not knowing how to get it back together again. Clarify your needs and motives before you strike out — even if that slows you down. (SFBG)

Ran out of veneer. Or stitches. Blew it up with too much beer and hopes hung on warm weather.
I hate crying for no reason at all.
I hate crying.
Quite frankly, it should be obvious I am not better than this.
