WHO: you and whoever isn't passed tf out
WHERE: e'rywhere
WHEN: Day 55 morning through evening

[ Well. Even the pasture deserves a low-key day sometime. Some of you are passed out in a cuddle pile. Others are doing a bake-a-thon because Red said so. And some others are coming off that bonesaw enrichment high. You know how it is

How are you today, though? Are you chilling out? Admiring that new barrier and cool fence? Running yourselves ragged checking on people? what is up. ]

Have to keep telling ourselves that. We're all still trying.

[rubs small circles on his back]

Yeah. This isn't...advice, exactly. But it's okay if there are some days you can't get out of bed, or cry until you're exhausted, or drink yourself silly. There's nothing wrong with falling apart for a little while if you need to. Just make sure you can put yourself together again once you get it out of your system.

[electricflock]

[revs up a small, stuttering sort of purr]

Is... good reminder. I'm doing good at keeping myself together, have... This is letting go some. Being clingy and sad. Haven't done lot of that on anyone.

[mykidisthebest]

[keeps doing the circles, then '^']

It's hard to let go when you're used to keeping it together. But, it would be bad to have to burst out at the wrong time. Better to let it out now, hmm?

[electricflock]

[nods...]

Um... thanks for this.

[mykidisthebest]

[shakes his head a little]

You're welcome. I feel like I should be the one thanking you. I...uh, don't like being alone, so it puts me at ease to be able to spend time with you.

[electricflock]

I don't like being alone either. ...Yesterday, I left the door open when I took bath so I could still hear flockmates. So being with you is good for me too.

[mykidisthebest]

[chuckles]

That's not a bad idea. I'd do that too if we didn't have a girl in the barn.
