So much going on

I took a detour from Mindsight in order to read an entire book about attachment styles (Attached). It's not an amazing read, and it oversimplifies, and there are still some thoughts/sentences that I'm able to pull out and find useful. Amusingly, there are three major styles and they are typified by my three partners. But if I were to summarize what I'm learning, it's that this particular lens on relationships says I'm not too fucked up. I do have aspects of the anxious attachment style in my thought patterns, but I don't act out a lot... and if closeness is a little harder for me to attain then it is for some people, well, at least I'm brave! My strengths overcome my weaknesses. I can still do the thing.

Sources of ambiguity right now include:

• heisenbug is looking for a job still, this hunt having gone on longer than initially anticipated. A company seemed to come close to hiring him this week, after interviews went well, but turned him down... it doesn't seem that it was really the best fit for him, but it's hard to know what would be, too. I'd like to understand better.
• Lion's wife continues to interview with Zillian (and in fact was at the mothership doing that, this Monday). I'm already assuming they're going to move halfway away for a year, which is a lot of why I'm shamelessly trying to see Lion as much as I can now, but I don't know when, or where, or really exactly why, or what she's looking for and what her decision-making process is. So it's not the easiest thing to sit with.
• norwoodbridge is dating around trying to fill his second time-slot, although honestly this isn't bothering me. Nothing's happened yet except a couple of first dates. It's always possible that something wacky will come along and mess us up, but there's never gonna be another Four-Leaf. Just waiting to see who my new metamour will be. I missed out on meeting the last couple of them, so I plan to try a little harder to meet this one.

That said, before we decide that boys are the source of all the trouble in my life: I had an insanely fabulous time seeing literally all three of them on all three of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. This extra is what happens when Norwood is driving up for a 2-day trip to Maine (and then back down) and Lion's wife is simultaneously out of town. Things feel good all around, solid and happy-making and with lots of laughing.

This week at work there were executives visiting my office... and then they and I did NOT fly out to meet my own new minions, because there was a so-called snowstorm (which didn't storm) and everyone's flights to the Vassal Office got cancelled. I did have some long videoconference talks with said minions and get some mailing lists renamed (to get the name of my office out of them), but I'm dreadfully behind on emails. Sayonara in advance, spare weekend hours. I have exactly one week to catch up somewhat before Birdie comes to visit me to do some college tours in the area, which is another crazy thing that's happening soon that I may not have even mentioned in this space. @_@

I've been experimenting with drinking spearmint tea every day, since that seems to be useful to a lot of women with hormonal acne, but my skin's still acting up. I don't think this particular period of irritation seems hormonal though; more likely bacterial and/or stressy. I've been tempted to bust out the benzoyl peroxide, but my skin's been so generally happy on the no-cleanser regime that I'm more likely to just wait it out.

It's a lot.
