What you should know...

There's some stuff going on that I'm not comfortable making public news yet. I've shared it on a limited basis with a few people, and will probably share with a few more over the next few days. It is making me very cranky, and difficult to be around. It is also causing me to have a little more difficulty dealing with normal, Naomi behavior than usual, which is frustrating and upsetting on top of everything else. If I'm a little less chipper, or a little more cranky, please, take this public service announcement to heart and know that I'm aware of what's up, what's causing this problem and that it will in fact get better soon enough.

You should also know:

Naomi is fine.
Cayne is fine.
Sonja is fine.
My family is fine.

My relationships are all doing well and I'm grateful for the love and support of the people around me. I'm just having a rough time at the moment and I know that the only thing to do about it right now is to be patient, to take good care of myself, to try not to be too hard on the people who unintentionally or accidentally push buttons that they don't know are sensitive spots right now, and to wait it out.

And I thank you for your support.

And to keep this from being a total downer...

If you've read this far (even if you skipped the stuff behind the cut) I appreciate it. I'm just hanging in til things get better, and trying to let go because I know this stuff is out of my control.

Re: previous post...

As seen here

Because I got an IM from someone expressing concern that it was something big, bad and scary, I want to reassure you all that it is not big, bad scary stuff. And I promise, if it were, I know I have good friends, and good support and It's just a bump in the road and stuff that is beyond my control, and I know that it will get better in the foreseeable future, so I'm keeping my eyes forward.

And I appreciate the concern expressed in that IM. I really do.
