I missed DW for a week again, oops. I read everything except two posts requiring more mental engagement than I have to offer, which are open in tabs on my laptop and will be handled tomorrow (or later tonight if I get some brain back.)

I have not been much good at anything this week. Monday I went to see

Fall is here, with a vengeance. Last week it was in the 70s (and the weather app on my phone suggests that next week it will be so as well), this week it's in the 50s and 60s, grey, and rainy. Suddenly, fall. I am enjoying it being cool enough to properly sleep while covered in cats. (Zelda is not enjoying it; poor baby gets cold easily, which ( Read more... )

Well so I lost all of yesterday to a migraine, even more epically than I usually do - I woke up, realized immediately I was already too far into migraine for painkillers to work, so I squinted at my phone until I managed to compose an email, and then swallowed some Advil and lay back down. this was at 6:45. I woke up at about 11:30, dragged ( Read more... )

Hi. Here. Today has been an absolute shambling disaster of anxiety and I'm not quite over it but the Olympics are very pretty and are distracting me so there's that ( Read more... )

My brain is an oozing pile of nope right now, which is to be expected, given novel finishing, but I still resent it. Though, I did realize that

I have a hard time walking away from media of any kind. I can only think of two books in the last six years that I've actively abandoned, vs. put down and picked up later because the moment wasn't right for them then. I don't like to mark games as "never going to finish" on Backloggery; I don't like to walk away from TV shows I've enjoyed ( Read more... )

I cleaned my desk yesterday. By which I really only mean I took up the pile of ancient mail that needed shredding and actually, you know, did the shredding, but it still counts, I say. there's like a whole new 9x12 section of desk that's visible and can have stuff put on it again. I'm trying to avoid actually putting stuff on it, but the ( Read more... )

Having a functional brain and a non-disastrous mental state is weird. I mean, it's cool, but it's also deeply bizarre.

( state of mental health, meds, writing, etc. )

I came to a weird realization on Sunday that in retrospect is the most hilariously obvious thing but at the time was clearly not, and it sort of ties in to the thinking I've been doing about my goals and how I'm approaching/achieving them, and where I am in comparison to the goals I set myself for the year, and what I want to choose for my goals ( Read more... )

I'm getting to the end of the week and I've done a lot of cool and/or productive things, but wow I am really starting to drag. I have done a lot of socializing this week and there's going to be more coming--including a big thing with the in-laws on Saturday--and I am realizing that I have drastically messed up this scheduling thing and all I want ( Read more... )
