Had my Wednesday panic attack on a Tuesday. As a treat.

Sixteen more days until I live within walking distance of a craft store 😈

Idk what’s been more fun: the sewage backup into my kitchen, the first plumber who stayed for four hours and tried to flirt with me the whole time, the second plumber who found the problem but is charging me $1300, or the fact that this is happening less than 30 days before the house is up for sale.

Can’t work today. Ducktales theme song stuck in head.

It would have given me so much anxiety as a kid!

Look I don’t have kids so my opinion doesn’t matter whatsoever but the whole elf on a shelf thing creeps me out.

Of course I find out I need to move asap a week after I get bullied into buying a fast pass at my local car wash.

Ugh. This is such an “in-my-thirties” problem. 🙄

Ordered DoorDash for dinner against my better judgement and if they steal my food again I’m going to cry

tis the season to instacart my groceries because I literally have no time to go grocery shopping during the day

Life can be so weird. It’s been such a horrible year in so many ways but at the same time, so many good things have happened. I learned to drive again. I conquered my agoraphobia. I fostered two cats.

I am so close to having survived this stupid fucking year.

Realizing I can afford fast food again is quickly becoming p r o b l e m a t i c lol

Lol I ordered my nephew a toy bow and arrow for Christmas, my sister is gonna kill me.

THIS. I know my anxiety makes me overreact. Knowing this doesn’t stop it from overreacting lol.

Look I’m trying to not spend a lot of money but I did order some stickers because they made my inner child happy.

Oh what do you know it’s almost like everyone who told me I was freaking out over nothing yesterday was right and I knew that but my nervous system is a rogue agent who hates me 🙃

I ordered wingstop because I’m sad :(

0/10 Monday.

First panic attack of the new job, hooray.

Help I’ve developed a hyperfixation with fountain pens I can’t afford.

Panic googling “how to be less awkward on business calls” lol

It took me over half a year of living alone to realize that no one can stop me from smoking a joint in my bathroom if I want to. The freedom.

You guys I officially have executive decision making powers over my phone plan for the first time in my fucking life ☺️

God my first paycheck. Got to pay for my own groceries for the first time in years without having to ask anyone for money. Life is good today 😭❤️

You know when you feel like you’re gonna freak out

A modicum of progress was made today in that I finally unfriended my ex wife on Steam, a platform we rarely communicated on and barely use.

Hahahahaha things are finally looking up

Happy sobbing because I finally officially received an employment offer 😭😭

I’m at the phase in my life where I proudly email my therapist about how well I did at my job interview today and I’m ok with that.

It’s raining, I have windows leaking on both floors of my house, and my ex is ignoring my texts about it because I guess she thinks this isn’t also her fucking problem.
