Man, I'm going to miss this series. Haven't watched the finale, but i wanted to publish this before. Now, I'm ready to be brought to tears for funny squiggly cartoon characters once more. :D
Following the death of her parents, Lucy became withdrawn and distant from everyone at the castle. She no longer read to the maid children, she no longer went out riding, she no longer spent time in the kitchen with cooks, and she withdrew herself from anything that wasn’t royal duty. Lucy was determined to keep everyone out, and it was breaking Angela’s heart.
Logically she understood. She knew the grief that comes from losing a parent, so she can’t imagine losing both of them. No matter how painful of a relationship they had, Lucy loved them. Angela felt guilt, she felt partially to blame for the death of the king and queen. She fears a part of Lucy blames her as well. She tried reaching out, trying to be there for the other woman, but it seemed as though Lucy wanted nothing to do with her. Angela was to be seen, not heard.
Angela couldn't shake the feeling that Lucy, her friend and confidante, was slowly slipping away from her. It was as if a subtle yet undeniable distance had begun to grow between them, leaving Angela feeling bewildered and disheartened. Their once effortless connection now felt strained, with Lucy's elusive behavior causing Angela to question the stability of their relationship. Each attempt to bridge the gap seemed to push Lucy further away, leaving Angela feeling frustrated and helpless. Despite the uncertainty, Angela remained committed to salvaging their relationship, or whatever it might be, determined to uncover the root cause of Lucy's withdrawal and restore the relationship they once shared.
Im thinking about renaming this to “In another life” but I haven’t fully committed it 😅 anyways I hope you enjoy the new chapter 😊
🥲 One cat eats senior can food. Another eats kidney prescription food. The last eats prescription diabetes food and MUST eat it at meal/insulin times.
None of them cooperate. Not a single one. I can no longer leave any food out because everyone eats the wrong food. We are pretty sure it was the diabetic cat getting into the kidney food which has led to her needing a glucose sensor now.
Guys. 🥲 Please. 🥲 Give me a break. Just a tiny one. Please? 🥲
Yesterday was trash, and today looks like fresh hell. People are undesirable to be around, and I'm just a mess. I just want a Stan Pines hug and a head pat, and a forehead kiss for bonus points. I'm ready to bawl.
… because I have spent ALL FUCKING WEEKEND playing couples therapist to various friends and didn't get any rest for myself, and now I'm exhausted. I'm not even exaggerating. It started on Friday afternoon with couple #1 (2 hours), continued on Saturday with couple #2 (5 hours and an almost-divorce), and now (hopefully) ended with couple #3 (2 hours).
Getting through the day when you're a spoonie is exhausting enough in itself, but THIS?! Man. I love them all, and I'm glad that I could listen and sometimes make good suggestions that helped, but THREE couples coming to me with their issues in as many days? Holy hell.
I'm not blaming anyone, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying it's got to be something in the air, or some weird planet constellation, or whatever that is making people go crazy right now.
I feel ready to crash. I'm close to tears from exhaustion and from mental and emotional drain. I'm not even sure I'll be able to make it to the office tomorrow.
My best friend @shaketheduust invited me to go with her to Noah Kahan concert next week and I’m so flipping excited. I haven’t been to a concert in like…12? Years?
It’s going to be a healing experience, I can already feel it.
