Oof, I'm restless today. I'm all jammed up about therapy, the election, NaNo, diet/exercise, fellowship stuff, anxieties about work.
I'm trying to keep myself busy to ward off the worst of it, but it's not quite working. I had a nice long phone chat with my other-coast BFF this morning, which was really lovely. I *love* talking with her--it's so grounding, plus I always straighten up the apartment while she and I are on the phone, so my space is looking a little better now. I've got a writer's group this afternoon (over Zoom/discord) so that'll kill some time. And the weather's nice enough so I can go for a run at some point. I'm also joining in an Among Ups party tonight with my roommate and some of her friends, so that'll help kill the hours at night. (I've never played before, but I did the tutorial thing and it seemed kind of cute and fun so maybe it'll be reasonably diverting?) |

so h and i bought a new scrabble game on friday (our old one was missing a bunch of tiles haha) and we played for the first time in quite awhile. I was actually ahead of him for a short time and finished not too far distant from him. he still always wins, cuz he's so good at the strategy part of it. even though i'm good with the words themselves. i need to learn how to strategize better. although i did end up with 250 pts, that was pretty good for me considering it's been years since we played!!
with the new words @@ is bringing us here, I should start kickin' his butt in no time! haha! |

Therapy work is really hard. I am finding it a great struggle to examine and consider my hurt whilst needing to live a normal life alongside. Work, being in relationships, not having enough space, all of it together seems too much. Overwhelm because I am in pain.

Maybe you could scale therapy back for a while? Every other week or so. This is a crazy time with the added pressure of covid.

I would rather scale back real life for a while. Every other week of life might suit me well actually. Who do I contact to organise that?

I thought you guys were going on lockdown for a month? Things have speeded up again, havent they. Only its the chores that take twice as long or twice as much effort, and then theres no good breaktime.

Feeling raw today for some reason. Like everything is rubbing me raw. What is this like oversensitivity? I don't know. I don't like it.

Yesterday was the co-owner of the company I work for birthday. She works in the NY office. I work in the CA office. I sent her flowers and a balloon. I was worried that she might be like, what did you do that for? Because I do tend to over-do sometimes when it is for someone I like or admire or whatever. But she took it well. She said that they surprised everyone in the office because they didn't know it was her birthday. I was like, uh oh, I divulged a well kept secret did I? But she didn't seem to mind and she really liked the flowers. She said she loved them anyway. I guess she could have been lying but I don't think so. I hope they looked like the picture because so often you order flowers and then it looks nothing like the picture on the website. So frustrating. First world problems I know....

I am in Scotland and living with tight restrictions, but short of lockdown. Each of the UK devolved nations (Scotland, Wales, Ireland) have different measures in place. England is going into lockdown.

L said if I were to go get a Covid test, that I might be able to see her in person on Friday. I told her I felt like she's dangling a piece of meat im front of a starving lion. We'll see how that goes over.

Are they easy to get where you live, like can you get one without symptoms or doctor's referral? And get quick results? If so, may as well get one. Glad your fever is gone. |

I worked on a poem for a little while, and now I am trying to start on my journal review that's due Sunday. Well, I have the reference in APA format done. It's a start. Heh. I think I'll call it a night and go take a hot bath, then get up early and knock this thing out. Tomorrow at some point I plan to head out into the desert to recharge a bit and take some pics. I have the next 4 days off work. Yay! Also therapy tomorrow at 3.
