Attended a small tutoring class last night, observing only. And, well, I can do this. I began to realize the breadth of resources I have in my head, from history and speech training, acting, and history, casual linguistics, and a sometimes frightening vocabulary. I know the specific difference between P and B. B is voiced, P is unvoiced, for instance. Organizational skills from the military and nursing. A willingness to play it by ear. A curiosity about everything, anything, so that I can at least ask an intelligent question on most subjects. I'm halfway through the training, thinking it will be enough for me to start. Brain awhirl through the night, though.
Strong storms swept through as I was getting out of work, rain mixed with snow pellets, thunder and winds. Then it all blew out. A short day that felt very long. Not sure how that works, but it was all I could do to keep going to the end, at about two. Wanted to nap, but couldn't doze. Hot bath helped, as hot baths do. Some days just wear hard, that's all. D in much the same state of mind, so we got chinese food delivered. Solace egg rolls.

It is odd when brain is in a whirling mode. Like when you try and turn the computer off and it says "No, still busy!!"
Doing nothing just makes it worse, just seems to need a little light something to distract it so that it can let itself rest.
'a willingness to play it by ear' is a particularly useful thing I find!
I imagine most people coming will be there because they want to be, which is also helpful. Doesn't make conflict impossible, but it helps.
As do egg rolls, no doubt.
