I'm giving myself One Night to grieve something complex and entirely out of my control, so I'm up trying to finish two pieces before I have to skip out tomorrow because the electricity cuts out at 7am. Also, I am A LITTLE BIT TIPSY, but in a good vibes way.

So if you need affirmation in the next few hours?

I am around and more than willing to give you a glow-up.

For a bonus? Gimme a word and I'll try to use it naturally in my praise for you! 👀 Lobster? Syzygy?

(Just don't ask for TFG.)

OH DEAR. THIS POST WAS SET TO SELF-DETONATE 💣 💥 🔥

Good choice! Y'know, other than throwing "chutzpah" into the occasional convo ("audacity" doesn't come close!), I always feel a little reluctant to appropriate Yiddish terms, but we ARE living in a meshugge world, aren't we?

To keep the home-fires burning, some of us *must* feel like we're going crazy, no? And I bet you resonate with that sentiment - so thank you: I appreciate everything you share to try to keep the world laughing, when it's *so dedicated* to falling clean apart. 🔥

@MLClark I'm sorry, it's Christmas and I've got a weird imagination and sense of humour. So all I can think about now is Dean Martin singing "It's A Meshugge World" 🎄

(But that was a wonderful post to @awnaves ❤️ )

Oh my goodness, that is the first time I've heard "Marshmallow World". Clearly I hadn't listened to the full album before.

BillyBones, I didn't realize I wasn't following you because so many folks boost your posts to my feed. Now if that isn't a sign of how many people appreciate the sweet melody of your presence in their lives, I don't know what is. You hit the heartstrings of your communities just right. Thanks for being a swingin' part of mine.

@MLClark Ooh, you didn't know the song at all? I love upbeat Christmas songs, so that's right up there for me 💜

And thank you for the follow - you're one of CoSo's stand out... well, Cosonauts, so I'm flattered by the follow back. Most people do it out of pity (joke!). You always say the nicest things, and so eloquently too. It's funny, being a Scouser in the USA I get lots of people telling me to talk to them just so they can hear my accent. I feel the same way about your posts ❤️

@BillyBones @awnaves

Oh, what a kindness. Thank you, Billy - no, I genuinely thought I was "following" you already. When a name comes up often, it's easy for the mind to play tricks.

Thank goodness we're both on a forum where the follower count doesn't matter anywhere near as much as the quality of interactions.

And ours? In my book? Every single one's been "quality" to date. 💛 Thanks for being a light on a heavy night. Hope you've got nothing but good vibes ahead for yourself this weekend.

@MLClark ❤️ No matter what the vibes are/were (and honestly things are a little difficult right now, but luckily I'm a 'glass half-full person'), your words & posts improve those vibes immeasurably.

Thank *you* for being you and being such an important part of CoSo 🥂

Stay safe & well! 🎄

@BillyBones

The feeling is mutual, Billy!

Take good care of yourself out there! 🤗
