I'm verging on overwhelmed, and I don't want to deal with everything that I have to get done in the next two weeks. I just cried over the Internet going out, and then cried when I fixed it. I usually handle stress well.

So I'm hiding.*

Join, me, won't you?

I'm hiding from my dissertation! Defense is in a month and I'm about to freak out because how can I get everything done?! I don't know! So I will hide here...

I had my first bout of stress-induced insomnia in a long while...

Aside from my ridiculous to-do list, I'm feeling scared about some health stuff that apparently will require attention a lot sooner than I thought. That makes me want to curl up into a ball in a corner, just for a little while. This seems like the perfect place.

Since this is TinyZombie's thread, I am assuming there are puppies to cuddle up with us as we hide?

I'm making a fort out of the couch cushions.

I'd rather have a cat, if you don't mind.
 
Behind the couch, with a blanket draped over the gap and another one to curl up with, is ideal.  A carton of milk and a bag of assorted cookies also helps.

There are cats and dogs and cushions galore. The cats and dogs know whether to leave you alone or to cuddle, as you like. The cushions are good for both flopping and forting.

Isn't screaming into the belly of a nice warm Great Dane a little more comforting? Just don't spill the wine while beating the cushions...

Well, the Great Dane doesn't like it much. She likes it when I'm at peace. Not when I am SHOUTING AT THE TV.

...like I did tonight.

Oh, Andy Messersmith, we hardly knew ye....
