For all the readers of my stuff · 11:53pm Sep 9th, 2015
Those from before and those new from Loyalty and What's The Sound Of Two Mimes Dating?
I was at work today when the vast majority of the outpouring of support started for the Fluttermac. I was at work when you followed me, and faved my story, and left such kind and thoughtful comments on it. I was at work, and dealing with a lot of unnecessary drama that could have been avoided if Best Child's school had gotten their shit together in a timely manner and not screwed me over.
I was at work, and being told I was in massive trouble because I can't come in tomorrow, because I have no childcare, because I am a single mother with no resources or family or friends in my area to safely see my son on the bus and back. I have no childcare, because my son's doctor decided to wait until the last possible second to send in the health form, regardless of getting it WELL before the deadline, because she decided it "wasn't important".
I was at work, and crying, and at fear of losing my job and only way I have to care for my child.
And it meant so much to me to finish work, swivel to my residential computer (I'm a work at home agent, most days, but do need to go to the office on certain days for important meetings and the like, one of which my missing tomorrow has caused my distress), and see how much you all liked it.
For something silly and fluffy I banged out in such short order with no real hopes of it going anywhere, this was a surprise and put a smile on my face after a very taxing day.
I know I will be okay regardless. But it did so much for me to see all that kindness and support.
So, thank you. There is no way I could possibly find the time to personally thank each and every one of you as you deserve, so I hope this blanket thanks in a blog, as lazy as it may seem, will be sufficient.
You have made my day brighter, and more hopeful, with your kindness, and honesty; your generosity and laughter, your loyalty, and the magic of how easily those prior virtues can truly turn a woman's day around.
So thank you. All of you.
Just remember... you're awesome Soap Lady.
*hugs* you silly pony, it doesn't matter if it was silly and banged out in an hour
*hugs*
If I could offer to babysit for you, I totally would. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know. But I'm glad your story and the people here are making you happy at least.
3381729 I know <3 It's just rough right now. I don't live near anyone. I used to live near enough to my friend that she could, but... not so much anymore. Just gotta take my licks and move past.
There are rough days, and then there are rough days. Today definitely sounds like the later
I'm glad pony brightened your day. Let your legion of followers know if there's anything else we can do to help or otherwise make real life easier to stomach
Friendship can't necessarily get you a better job. Friendship can't necessarily get you money. Friendship can't necessarily make your life easier.
But it does make you want to work to keep it, and it'll make you feel like you have something when you have nothing, and it lets you share a burden you can't carry by yourself.
I'm glad our words still mean something. Hang in there.
3382553 my emotions have been on a tenuous string as of late, due to the sudden upheaval of my life with the move and so on. I handle stress okay, but too much stress leads to things like, for example, dropping a pot pie on the carpet by accident and wailing and sobbing about it for ten minutes. It's stupid, but there we are. So yeah, the kind words and comments and support for the silly hobby I have of horsewords is a massive rally to my esteem. I always know I'll get through it all, but the way is always nicer when there's beautiful flowers growing beside.
Yay! Here, have a gif.
