Miss Greycie Loo keeps tapping me in the face and gently nipping if i type more than pet.

More Japanese spam, the two separate posts read together, "Un sample of dress + jacket of [serinu] and Lanvin. Dress." I ponder that it must be some sort of game.

LaughingRat asked me about the amount of attention the Meeting is taking. I am writing about it more because i'm beginning to turn outward from work and recovery. I am "recovered" i wrote, and i spent some time wrestling with those scare quotes. What is recovery when i know the root causes are not better? What is recovery when i'm using a crutch?

What is summer when winter will come again? It's not "summer," is it?

What is recovery when i'm using a crutch?

One of the FWD posts talked about "crutch" as a negative word, such as when people denigrate themselves for using X coping mechanism "as a crutch." Reframed as "assistive device," crutches, wheelchairs, walkers, etc., truly take on a new meaning: a more positive one, connoting all the things they ALLOW a person to do that they might not ordinarily do. So, perhaps you are using a coping mechanism(s), but is that so bad if it's allowing you to live more fully than previously?
