(oh wow, that is...that is terrible ugh. And terrible isn't even an ugh enough word for it. I am so sorry. *offers hugs*)

self-soothing is good.

I am hugging a border terrier foster dog alot (spelling a'purpose), watching her watch squirrels in the back garden, and also self-soothing. Also snuggling with partner and celebrating the fact that she is insured for the first time in a decade.
