I haven't been able to work because both of my bosses seem to think they're living out some sort of rom-com, so I'm trying to find things to do to keep occupied during the day. Does anyone want to go see the magnolia trees in bloom at the botanical garden with me? Or go get a drink? Maybe both.

Are you yourself yet?

	Seeing as how my husband is making googly-eyes at someone else, going to see magnolia trees in bloom and/or drinking this absurdity away sounds good to me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It’s hard to remember he’s not doing it of his own free will, isn’t it? Do you want to day drink first or after? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. And no. It depends on how hard it hits in the moment. Not looking forward to the guilt spiral when it's all over. First. Definitely first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The guilt spiral from who, you or him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Him, for sure. Me, for not being able to help. That much just be hard baked into my DNA though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I doubt it's going to help at all, but I don't think there's anything to feel guilty over. It sucks a lot, but I think guilt is just going to make it worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You've got a point. Let's just see if reason wins the day... Meet you in the lobby? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shesarainbow 2025-02-19 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	For both our sakes, I hope it does. I'm [...] not sure what's going to happen when whatever this is eventually wears off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My money is on lots of embarrassment, and probably inside jokes we don't get. And that's if no one does anything really regrettable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shesarainbow 2025-02-19 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	That's probably a safe bet. For what it's worth, I'm sorry this has got your husband under some weird spell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	do_this_all_day 2025-02-19 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks, Syd. Let's go day drink and look at flowering trees about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shesarainbow 2025-02-19 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm needing that drink a little more now than I was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bad news? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shesarainbow 2025-02-19 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	You could say that. [STEVE/SYD] My ex/it's complicated thinks he's in love with Pepper, I guess. Or she's "his muse," anyways. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Steve/Syd do_this_all_day 2025-02-19 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	I'm so sorry. Really and truly. Sure you still want to go out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Steve/Syd shesarainbow 2025-02-19 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	It's fine. We're not- dating or anything. Heavy on the "complicated" part of that it's complicated, I guess. Anyways. Yes, I'm sure. Just don't judge me too much if I get a double whiskey instead of a single. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Steve/Syd do_this_all_day 2025-02-19 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	I think I get it. I won't judge you if you won't judge me for eating my weight in whatever food they have wherever we wind up going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Steve/Syd shesarainbow 2025-02-19 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	As someone who also has a tendency to eat their feelings, we listen and we don't judge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Steve/Syd do_this_all_day 2025-02-19 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	Then let's go eat and drink our feelings for an afternoon. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm sorry, do I know you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[DAVID/SYD] shesarainbow 2025-02-19 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	~~Oh, that doesn't feel good~~ I suppose you don't. Sorry. Hi, I'm Syd. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DAVID/SYD] fracturing 2025-02-19 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	Hi Syd. Obviously you know me. Are you... a fan? Who somehow decoded my pen name? I guess I just gave away that I have a pen name that's decodable, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you promise, cross your heart, that you won't make fun of me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know, better. I was having a terrible case of writer's block but lately it seems like... I don't know, I'm starting to feel inspired again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DAVID/SYD] shesarainbow 2025-02-19 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, yeah? I hear writer's block is pretty awful. What struck inspiration? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DAVID/SYD] fracturing 2025-02-19 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	It's a funny story, actually. I was supposed to be renting this villa for the summer, but they double booked it so I'm sharing with this... ~~beautiful~~ amazingly kind chef, and we've actually been spending a lot of time together and... I don't know. I guess she's been my muse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DAVID/SYD] shesarainbow 2025-02-19 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	[...] Well. That sounds- very nice. A bit like life is imitating art or something, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DAVID/SYD] fracturing 2025-02-19 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	A little bit, yeah. Please don't tell her that I called her my muse if you ever happen to meet her. That would be incredibly embarrassing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DAVID/SYD] shesarainbow 2025-02-19 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	I doubt I will meet her, since I don't think I'm in the same place as you right now, but your secret is safe with me. What's her name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DAVID/SYD] fracturing 2025-02-19 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	Pepper. Which is a pretty cute name for a chef, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DAVID/SYD] shesarainbow 2025-02-19 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	~~Of course she's blonde.~~ A little on the nose, yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, thanks for listening. I guess I did actually need to talk to someone. Even if it's a stranger on the internet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can be a pretty good listener sometimes, I hope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DAVID/SYD] fracturing 2025-02-20 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	No, I'm pretty great now. Thanks. Again. Maybe we can talk again sometime? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DAVID/SYD] shesarainbow 2025-02-20 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	I’d really like that, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent)
