ice water and ocicats

I should probably read that book. I'm in this odd space where I absolutely have some amazing people in my life who I totally adore. I have a social life. And I've also pretty much always been at least somewhat lonely for most of my life. The reading of social environments as potentially hostile stuff sounds like it could be relevant; I'm pretty shy and mostly figured I just have a certain amount of social anxiety going on. It's really surreal to wonder whether that's even true, or whether it's actually chronic, long-term loneliness. Weird.

Imma go back to researching fun stuff like basement waterproofing and asbestos testing/abatement now. :)
