It's been a day.

Starting out as a very bad one, as part of the long - and can stop ANY TIME NOW - snit of the universe, and moving on to one that - while I'm still very sad for hammercock and her family - I'm feeling more balanced than I have been for a while. I don't know how long it will last, but it's good for now. (I more than sort of wish I wasn't sleeping alone tonight, but I'm in much better shape to handle it now than I would've been a 2pm today.

Many thanks to roozle and sunspiral for hosting, and for many of the attendees for all the many hugs, snuggles, smooches, and even {gasp} conversations today. I needed them all.

Perhaps even thanks to the weather for giving the party a very different dynamic than usual, which served to help settle me in to a fixed place for extended periods, making all of the above much easier to get.

Please, everyone, stay as well as you possibly can, and love one another while you're doing it.
