ZOMG! Life and the world have been crazy crazy CRAZY since oh, Friday. Saturday was the shoot for the comic book project, and that was one of the craziest days ever even without the photo shoot to complicate things. Everyone and their ancestors and the amoeba that spawned them was fighting. I mean, bitching and going back and forth and occasionally yelling at each other. ALL. DAY. That we finished our shoot successfully is nothing short of a miracle! The odd thing that I realized the next day was that me and Dom were the only people who weren't fighting. Things have really come along way in the last few months. We celebrated our 8 year anniversary last week, which really seemed to give him so closure and peace he has been working toward for a long time. As if, finally, after all these years, he realizes I'm really NOT going to leave. He's opened, and softened, and just... suddenly RELAXED. I can't even explain without getting incredibly long winded, which I don't have time for, but we summed up at our counseling session last night, and our counselor was very, VERY pleased with our progress.

Yes, we've been going to counseling for the last few months, and wonder of wonders, it's actually HELPED, so much. By just discussing Dom's life and tendencies, some of our issues, being constantly conscious of ourselves and our behaviors through airing them on a regular basis, we've both changed a lot over the last couple months. The trust that was so thoroughly shattered a couple of years ago is FINALLY healing and returning, past the point where I've felt (for the last year) this rebuilt trust would always be part of my awareness, that it would always be obvious. It feels natural, sweet, loving, like we're a true team and on each other's side again. The old patterns have fallen away.

And wow, TANGENT! *L* But not really, because that's a wonderful thing that's been slowly taking shape in our lives, recently.

So, yeah. Crazy. Sunday, there were still a gazillion people at the house and I had Ze Hangover, so I worked on the comic all day as my retreat. Plus, if it's gonna come out on time, yeah. I have two weekends left. Monday we both woke up late and got in late, which meant we got home late, which meant dinner, some kid time then bed. Yesterday I ended up getting stuck at work late again, despite getting in on time, and then we had to go straight to counseling because if we went home we'd have been late to our appointment, but because it was just in that perfect time zone, we ended up getting to the vicinity of the appointment almost an hour early. So we ate Kabob, did our session for an hour and a half, and got home at like, 11:15pm. And work has just been off the hook crazy, although not in the insanely stressful way it had been for the last couple months. This is a new craziness that is 65% less stressful. I'm attempting to learn SharePoint from online studying, and it is just SO huge and complex and powerful with SOOOO many options that are dependent on each other, etc. that it took us two days to figure out how to do ONE THING. So yeah, busy.

I did, however, between studying, write my story for druturns10. As in, yes, I think it's finished. I dig the concept, but I'm not sure how well it comes across. I definitely need a test read through or two by someone who knows BtVS/AtS history pretty well. I've had a couple of drabbles lightly drawn out for my [info]50_elements story, for a little while now. I need to polish those and get them posted.

Gah! I have SO MUCH to do!!! Work is crazy again today. I need to copy over my LJ entries to IJ for me and Dom, both. Make RSS feeds for all my LJ friends. Finish my Fluff-a-thon story, which is just... confounding me completely! If it was angst, YES. It would be SOOOO easy to write this pairing as angst. But alas, alack, it's the Fluff-a-thon and I just can't make this story not seem like crack!fic because I can't logically sell it. Not even my own mind. And now, I really need to get to work.

Um, YEP. Couldn't be more accurate. And Mal as second runner up? Yep again. I USED to be just like him.


P.S. Is it bad that every time I hear the words "hurricane Dean" I think of Jensen Ackles? It's like a sickness. But a yummy one.
