Today would’ve been my friend’s 39th birthday. Suicide CW

I’m home from Las Vegas! It was fun. I didn’t win any money, but I also didn’t lose a bunch either (I lost about $6 playing slots, it was my first time gambling in any way and I decided to quit while I was ahead-ish? haha.)

This guy was practicing not far from where I live. I don’t have any other comments really, other than every time a misogynist is fired or forced to resign, an angel gets its wings.

I’ve been single for 2 and a half years and this is the first time I’ve sort of wanted that to not be the case. (tbf barring a short term crush I had last year) cut for some mental health talk and general personal life stuff

Whiskey whiskey whiskey. And Dr. Pepper and lime.

My immediate boss came up to my office today and we talked.

I got chewed out pretty bad today.

I’m ready to go home and eat some pasta. What’s cooking tonight GT? Anything on the evening agenda?

I went to the gym this morning for the first time in probably 9 months. I feel good.

I just bought a plane ticket to Vegas! This will be my first trip out there, I’m going with a group of 4 for my good friend’s 40th birthday this upcoming October. Any recommendations for things to do or see if you’ve been there? Restaurant recs would be especially awesome.

It’s really sudden. Her wife is in academia, and she got offered a job out of state at a university, so they have to go in 3 weeks. I know that’s how academic jobs work, but I’m really really bummed. I liked her a lot, and I feel like she “gets” me in away that other counselors I’ve seen have not. She was very…

I started my new job. It’s great, the people are wonderful, the benefits are incredible, and I’m terrified. Cut for talk about mental health stuff.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m making progress!

Hey-o. It’s me again. I know I haven’t been around a whole lot, save for occasional OTs, etc. Mainly because I’m wading through my I-turned-30-now-what crisis. Anyway, re: title of this post, my friend and I have started saying this when depression or anxiety rears its ugly head and we need to relate it to each other.…

Got my test results back from the doctor today. The good news is: I’m not anemic, I don’t have thyroid issues, my blood sugar is normal, my insulin is normalish (slightly elevated but not out of a healthy range but it could be stress) my progesterone is normal, my doctor isn’t suspecting PCOS, and my kidney and liver…

So as some of you may remember, my grandfather had heart surgery in January. He’s had a hard time recovering (he’s 85 years old just for reference) and I’m finding out that at least a portion of it is because he hasn’t been following the aftercare instructions.

So when I go to a certain grocery store in my town, I pass this place called “Vanilla Dental”, and every single time I think “if the alternative is Kinky Dental, I’d much prefer vanilla.” Although a vinyl or latex dental assisting uniform might be kind of fun.
