I can't. I'm going to have to turn off the news apps. The celebs dying is getting at me.

...

I want to cry. I'm so damned touch deprived it's unreal. (I'm a very tactile person on top of being a massage therapist, it blody sucks) ... and my room mates have pain conditions+touch sensitivities that means that hugging one of them is out of the question, and the other isn't a hugger, so that's out too.

...

I was this close to saying 'I could use some help' but...that's something one *can* help with.

I miss different people. I love my room mates, but I want different people for a change. *...all of us want different people. Just because we share a body doesn't mean we also don't need physical others, too.)

However, I wrote out a schedule for the day, and it helped a bit, except for getting up a lot later than I wanted. Whoops. ... so there's something at least.

Can you hug the toddler in your house? Even just hold them while they nap?

He does give hugs, and he sat on me today to play with his activity table, so that helped...more than I want to admit.

But so far as naps? Nope. That's a mommy and daddy only thing. I'm auntie.
