Time to pull up sticks
Welp, I tried. But my LJ friends feed is broken - I can't get it to load at all - and between that and word spreading of political purges of LJ blogs, it's time to officially and permanently move to Dreamwidth. I'll keep cross-posting for as long as it works, and I'll keep getting comments if you leave them on LJ, but that's it ( Read more... ) -
Io Saturnalia
I've been trying to be more mindful of the transitions between day and night. I always start these things too generally, and am sabotaged by the fact that "be mindful" is a huge task, even "be mindful of transitions," so why not start small, on the thing that actually affects me the most right now?

Do better.
I re-read last month's posts on dealing with emotional crisis this morning, when I couldn't get out of bed for half an hour and realized that my original plan of getting back to work on my NaNo novel tomorrow morning was... unrealistic.

Writing Support
I’m back to working on my writing process again. I do this every once in a while. This time feels different, because I basically haven’t been writing at all for almost a year, but I’m also aware that every time feels different, and in the long run they’re all broadly similar patterns. If past evidence holds true, I’ll come up with something this ( Read more... ) -
Actual consequences
Actual consequences of the actual mistake I made: virtually nil. My boss said she understands how I could have made the mistake, the guy is willing to wait a month for his check, the whole conversation took about three minutes and most of that was me apologizing ( Read more... ) -
And that's still not quite right.
While being told that I was overreacting didn't make me feel better in the moment (and in fact just led to more crying), having had that conversation, I now feel much less terrible. I don't get that sick feeling thinking about it that I did yesterday ( Read more... )
