Slightly off topic, but not really?

Thoughts about this episode:

I know it doesn’t mean that I can give this to anyone, or that there’s anything else wrong with me, but it makes me feel dirty and ashamed.

I got a promotion and a raise! Both are a sort-of scheduled, “you didn’t fuck anything up too badly this year” thing, but yay anyway! I celebrated by using this weekend, the only weekend I’ve had all to myself for MONTHS, to hole up and get REALLY GROSS.

Started a new (possibly temporary but whatevs) job this week! And being out of my super toxic work environment made me SHOCKINGLY (actually not shockingly) far less anxious with no panic attacks, so that’s cool

That’s great!! Sorry about the weather though. :( Mr. Antisocial and I were gonna try to camp this weekend but it’s also gross and rainy here in the PNW, so that’s a no go.

I made a 9-hour drive overnight back home without a panic attack or getting majorly carsick.

I threw up in the bathroom so I wouldn’t have a hangover. I am very pleased.

I hear you. Having a regular income ain’t no joke, but there are so many protections for workers these days - even in at will states. You can’t be fired for being away from your desk. Hell, studies even show that we’re not supposed to sit for more than 45 minutes at a time anymore.

I just bought the plane tickets for my boyfriend and I to elope. Like five minutes ago. I’m going to surprise him. It’s going to be the weekend before Halloween in Colorado. My family is going to be bummed at first, that there won’t be a ‘real’ wedding (in their opinion) but I know he’ll enjoy this more.

I’ve been counting down to this all week. So, a few weeks ago I posted about how I was feeling bullied by one of my coworkers. Well, it escalated this week. A few days ago they emailed me and told me I needed to stop leaving my desk so much because there had been a lot of complaints. I responded like, “oh wow, thanks…

Had colon cancer last year. Surgery, no chemo, no radiation.

A few months ago, I posted here about health issues I was having. I finally saw a rheumatologist, and, yes, I do have a disorder. I have the test results, and they point toward something fairly rare, but the symptoms all fit what I’ve been going through.

So much packing, so many boxes, so much shit to do. We’re 10 days away from the big move and it’s that weird point where you know you’ll need some things but you’re afraid you’re just using this as an excuse for slacking off and in the end you’ll be overwhelmed. On the plus side, the house we rented is awesome (the…

Have you watched Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries? It’s very stylish and breezy, set in 1920s Australia.

So this weekend I am puppy sitting one of my dog walking clients and boy is he testing my own dog’s limits. I don’t have that much experience with male dogs (yes I’m a misandrist even with my dogs) and I was just shocked that his “playing” was actually him trying to mount her and hump her. He’s only 4 months old and I…

For a while there, there was that “last gasp of fertility” thing where you get two periods a month.

I swear to God I have had it with anyone who says teachers are too whiny about our pay\benefits.
My father passed away at the beginning of this month. I only have 10 sick\vacation days per year, which I had already used by the time he passed- some of those days, by the way, were spent taking care of him, and one day…
