I want to get a lockscreen for every one of these characters but I don't want the artist to get sick of me.

If I still believed I had bipolar disorder I would say I have dysphoric mania.

No sleep on the plane, lots of driving, my mind is still going a mile a minute with only the very beginnings of thoughts and I’m revved up on the inside.

I have a brief moment to rest. It is not happening. I’m on two nights of sleep in a full week. Something is physically wrong with me.

Just landed in Philly. I’m doing the Secret Deer Dance though and none are showing up to welcome me. Maybe they’re too cold.

Holy shit. The first time I fly main cabin in years and the middle seat next to me is empty. I thought I’d be crushed in. What an auspicious start to this!

Oh, god, I’ve still got an hour before this flight. It’s just me here and a guy eating pretzels (quietly. He’s my friend and a saint)

Nah, working vacation where I won't be doing much working.

Well I was referring to... the story...

It's a big day... in multiple ways.

When a couple of deer who were hanging out

Thought that they would see what all the fuss was about

She took one little look and said "your heads have horns!"

They said "your moves are really sweet now do you have any corn"

In West Philadelphia, smart as paint

In the wintertime is when she lost all her restraint

Standing out, freezing, dancing in the snow

All watching her breath to see where it would go

After (of course) pulling an all-nighter I passed out on the couch instead of going to bed. Thus far today I haven't managed to get off it.

I need to get on a plane in a few hours.

Outstanding that you have not only been in Philly but also know the secret deer dance!

Interesting that the benefits from my medication have gone away. I'm easily overstimulated again, I have trouble directing my attention, I can't sleep at night because I can't pause my brain (but I can during the day).

I wonder if I need a higher dose or it was never the medication to begin with.

Oh my god

A medium cut.

It's actually all the sins.

I was going to take one of my "working vacations" next week, but my boss gave me the "wink" that it can be more like a real one - i.e. take it easy.

Apparently there's some excited chatter going on about one of my project proposals, and I may not be working on my current junk for much longer...

I guess I really needed the rest. That scans, at least, given the past few weeks. I won't complain.

Forget about the "me" day. I am utterly paralyzed by physical and mental fatigue. The thought of any action at all is nauseating.

I'm editing the two Emmetverse stories I have here and Walter White verbiage is slipping into Emmet's mouth. I have to be on guard against that... even though it's often eerily appropriate.

It's good I can't credibly make Emmet sound like Tony Soprano or the first drafts would have been disastrous.

It's a longstanding problem. I have all sorts of "explanations" for it: that it's driven by fear or impostor syndrome or some sort of overachievement impulse. But the probable truth is it's just dopaminergic. All the parts are shiny and they move in just the right ways to choke-hold my attention.

Okay, let's just shove this nothing day out of the way so I actually do things for my own sake tomorrow.

I will not work. Sometimes I take vacation days and then I do work anyway, without telling anybody. Not this time. I am ahead of the curve. I'm on top of everything. No reason for it.
