Boss lectured through half my lunch while I was holding back a meltdown with main force and I was not too far off from setting myself and the whole place on fire.

I gotta get my blood pressure meds again. I’m fried and furious without it.

It’s not super sexy but there’s some fun stuff later on

Have you tried the Vorkosigan saga

i tried to hold out but i think its best if i get to the er asap

Sometimes a box of strawberries and a plate of the good fake sugar is just the thing For Morale.

You ever had a really, really good apple? Or a banana at just the right stage between sweetening and becoming banana bread. Peaches are of course a delight, but how much of that is syrup is negotiable, and I can’t be having with the fuzz. Ooh, a ripe nectarine…

I haven’t hit panic attacks, but there’s a definite ill-willed loathing at the end of every weekend

I can’t wait to illustrate this

I feel that for all the new folks who come and go from my office

Hugs

Take me with you

This always delights me

Granted, some of this is probably being out of blood pressure medication. A lot of my physical anxiety symptoms disappeared when I got on it, and I’m not pleased to see them coming back.

…I have been having an anxiety attack for three days- in my graceful, deeply internalized way- over this thing I had to do at work and all boss says is ‘it’s done? Good.’

At least I’m not in trouble, but jesus I need to get someplace where it feels safe to fully communicate. It isn’t here.

There is much to squee over

Pass it along! Let's see your pfp in its full sized glory.

This is a screencap of Oddbit, a troll maiden from ElfQuest, leaning over her boyfriend and explaining that ‘of course I liked you best, but a girl just has to be practical!’

I need to start using the thingamabob we got from the thrift store, see if it works.

I do not want to go to work tomorrow. There’s no reasonable reason to expect I’m going to get shit, but that’s hardly an indicator.

Welp, got the continuing education requirements done today, except for one webinar next month.

That said, I had another attack of ‘this worldbuilding factoid opens up SO MUCH to fuck around with’ and I tell you I do not have the Tolkienian energy to come up with an entire system of pronouns based off of military rank, physical size and fertile status.

I have done neither fic nor original writing today, nor did I manage to fit in my continuing education testing, but I got laundry and dishes progressed and I read a chapter of my book. Tomorrow’s another day.

‘Arsenic is a mineral, and aconite is an herb.’

Ah fuck

Shades of-

Wish I had an easy solution for you- there’s a lot of Dumb Things that, despite being objectively Dumb, still continue to be obnoxiously Things

Hugs my dude

Last week I got praise, I should have known today when boss’s mood tanked due to other things that I would catch flak.
