Taking the Night Off...No, I Mean OFF
Hi guys!
In an effort to stay alive and well, and actually maybe get some work done on my book, I am switching off my PM alert and taking the entire night off. Doesn't mean no one can message me. Just means I won't be alerted or get it until tomorrow.
Since the drama has been very thick here lately (to use a gross understatement), I want everyone to have the link to The Trevor Project website, which is a crisis counseling center for GLBT youth:
http://www.thetrevorproject.org
For those of you wankers too lazy to follow the link, the hotline number is 1-866-4-U-TREVOR (1-866-488-7386). Unlike us here at Oasis, The Trevor Project IS designed precisely for the sort of thing we've been struggling with a lot over the past few weeks, so by all means, use it if you need it, and encourage others to use it too.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Love,
Pat

The Trevor Project
It is such a great helpline, they really care about everyone who calls, even if your not suicidal or in a trigger moment they will still help you with anything you need no matter what!!

Heh...
This isn't a job, you're allowed to take as many nights off as you want.
In fact, as soon as you feel obligated to log on, I think that's an indication not to.
When I get home from my commute tonight, I'm going to watch a movie and then go to bed.

The only thing I feel
The only thing I feel "obligated" to do on a daily basis,not counting biological functions, is to feed Raja.
