I may pick up a bingo after I get my book draft done. I'd hoped to have it done for April, but fell 5.5 chapters short. Now I'm 1/2 time back at work. Doubt I'll get it finished this weekend, but I'll settle 2 more chapters (maybe 2.5) out of the way :)
Like you, I'm essential and the guys I work with are all on my last nerve. But... not much different than pre-pandemic so *shrugs*
Anyway, I hear you. We can only take so much and every now and then, we hit that point where we can't take any of it any longer. I hope and pray that this coming week is a better one for you.
Disney is now selling both Mandalorian and Marvel face masks, 4 pack for $20. So, that's something fun, right?
There's a great quote by a psychologist named Elizabeth Kubler-Ross: "I'm not okay, you're not okay and that's okay."
Okay, so I think I've blubbered enough for now. *hugs* to you and know you can lean on me if needed. In the meantime, I think I'm going to get some raspberries, some kiwiFRUITS, and a bottle of white wine this weekend and make some sangria.
Thank you for adding the fruit at the end; it made me smile to know you listened whenever it was that I told you how horrified NZers are that people talk about eating Kiwi! ;-)
That's why I put it in all caps for you! I actually told all that to Taylor in the grocery store one day when she said she wanted some Kiwi. I told her I knew a few but it'd take some time to get them here. :D
My darlink, you are making it here at the time that you can, and that is perfect. I am here for you whenever you need to dump, rant, or tell me any small thing you want, good or bad
( ... )
I've been creatively "meh" during April and then feel terribly guilty that I'm not creative during a time when I'm not busy with life things, but there are some days when I just want to come home from work and read porny fanfiction. (I actually did strive for some quality in my reading and grabbed "The Kite Runner" because I thought a good cry would be catharic- Khaled Hosseni is the king of misery, but his writing is so freaking good). But yeah, the world is wacky right now and my emotions have been all over the place- overactive hormones should be rendered mute during these horrible times- they only add to the stress.
I hope the ice cream is tasty and that moments of joy do shine through for you this week.
I'm glad things are mostly better, and that you took a day for yourself. They tell us at my place to raise our hands and take a day if we need - I'm saving it up for the day I get up and am just, like... nope.
I'm hoping to do some posting tomorrow, and spend some time Sunday on bingo prompts. Against all better judgment, I entered the H50 Big Bang on Tumblr - so that will commence, soon, for August posting. :)
Yay for new projects to keep your mind somewhere else! And yay for knowing you can take a day when you need to!!! Those things make a wonderful difference. :)

We'll get through it. Ugly and ungraceful, but through, damn it! ;)
Love you

I feel productive today, more than I have been on a Saturday for months. And I knitted for myself. All in all, things are moving along.
Love you, and thank you so much!!

We'll get back to a new normal someday, and the hormones will be right there with us!!!
