in check....

yes, I think I am starting to manage to keep that shadow in check...that way she doesn't do things that I (not her) will later regret...slowly, slowly

it's not easy though and as well as a LOT of energy, and awareness it calls for a stack of restraint...but I think it will be worth it

it'll get easier....it will, right?

and it'll be worth it...that's my hope anyway!

that, and hoping this hideous headache goes away...
