Was panicking over a potential lost envelope of money for a few bills. Ripping my room apart looking for it. Noticed an unfinished Momodi drawing with her showing all, lifted it thinking "Why is this in this pile?" and under it was the envelope I was looking for. Not sure if an omen or luck charm?

I said I'm not traveling this month. no in-person commitments the next four days, still live next to amtrak, & my instincts are darting to the amtrak app. BUT I need to settle in, sit in my discomfort, work on the book that I GET to write. it's a wild ride
So downside of travel: rental car dude didn’t tell me they were placing a hold on my card, and the group I’m in has decided to do things Expensively in an already expensive area. Instead of driving in Salem and paying for parking, they want to take public transportation and have everyone pay $20
I was jury on a murder trial for the past week and the whiplash of that -> back to work for two days -> visit friends in another city is some real time compression shit.
Thru events entirely my own fault, my laptop wound up locked in my day job office floor with my ID that would let me in to get it. So when teaching tonight, I had to just explain the 15 min video I was going to show and lead discussion from memory of what I had in my notes. Is today over yet? 🤦
So I'm leaving Miami after about 6 full days here, and sorry to say it but this city kind of sucks. It's early October and it's been like 90 degrees and 100% humidity every day I've been here. Of course I wanted to go out and see as much wildlife as possible, but
There is nothing like being in a frantic flow state, knowing you have 30 mins max to work on revisions to an essay before the baby wakes up only to be interrupted by repeated two factor authentication requests. 💀
A table fell over in the piano bar and of course, I leap over to move it upright. The weight of the table caused a chunk of granite to break off. Long story short, my finger has finally stopped bleeding from the cut. I don't know if it's the principal in me or what that's always taking charge.
Well, it's actually over now. I'm no longer on Schrödinger's Holiday and am, in fact 100% properly unemployed. The former workplace is going with someone else for my old job which, y'know, sill is kinda humiliating in its own way. Still, there's always value in breaking away from these sorts of nebulous unknowns. It's going to be real shit moving forward but it's reassuring to know what it is that "moving forward" looks like and entails Tomorrow me is getting busy again u.u
One of the 5-year-old’s soccer coaches is out of town so I filled in at practice tonight. Most humbling 45 minutes of my life. Broke up two crying scuffles over the orange cone. Some blood. Never really reestablished possession. I need to lie down for a while.
I stayed in bed for a bit more cuddling with my wife and the cat feline mistress since it's starting to be quite chilly, and have no regrets. Now to grab a coffee and start my day at work :) A good morning to y'all, fedinauts #GoodMorning
I sound like a broken record at this point, but there's still no tap water in my flat 🥹 My neighbour is so kind! she let me use her dishwasher and even allowed me to make a cup of coffee for myself 😊
It is absolutely wild that I get to look in the mirror and see a cute girl staring back.
coming to remember that midweek vacations are a lot more relaxing than long weekends when it comes to email hell went to Nikko and it was gorgeous!
remembering my work told us we need to bring clean clothes when we work and have to look nice and clean our shoes... I work dish and ya'll have me scheduled 4 times a week... I can not clean my clothes constantly but it's only for work and I clean them every week... I hope they aren't too strict about food stains bc I am not running my laundry twice a week... I have 3 flatmates and I'm busy...
It was warm and very bright outside today and there were Meetings and Decisions and Phone Calls. So now me and my kid are curled up in my dark bedroom and watching separate screens, as is the way of tired autistics.
babiest decided at 9:30pm last night that she was Awake and this sentiment continued until 1:45am ish (i lost track after that)… and then woke up at 6am 😫 thank god i can be 省エネモード today because i’m half dead right now 🧟♀️
Ugh, stuff happening today I really don’t want to happen. I started off being very happy about it, but the more I thought about it the less I liked it. At least I may be a bit less stressed out once it’s done with. The joys of over-thinking! Sorry for being so cryptic, and being a whinge bag. Just needed to get stuff off my chest. And it’s raining, too ☹️
So there were 9 of us for dinner, which was smaller than I'd expected. The food was fantastic and the place had a spectacular view of the river. My boss's boss's boss ended up sitting right next to me, which was a little anxiety-provoking, though she was very personable.
I went out to dinner with some people in my cohort tonight and they asked me what my special interests were. I literally struggled to answer, no one has asked me that before and cared enough to mean it. I really need to rediscover myself tbh
It is 6° outside and all my scarves bar this one are 80 miles away at my parents’ house 🥲
Anyway I barely slept last night so trying to enjoy the day as best as I can before flying to London tomorrow
why does gratitude fade so quickly? i have at times felt immense gratitude--after a period of lacking--for a safe place to sleep, electricity, a working bathroom, clean water. but the relief you feel when getting those things back just doesn't stick around. the gift of perspective is short-lived 💀
Been a week or so of really good news and some not-great news, and I kind of wish things were a bit more boring. But that’s life!
last night i dreamt that i rented a car through some sort of uber thing where the deal was, you'd pick up the car, leave it wherever, and the next person would pick it up from there. i got stranded in a dust storm but then saw a sign that said "bagshot row" and was like "oh i'll just go visit bilbo"
i've been to þe library every day for like þe past two weeks or someþing and i'm feeling quite exhausted. i'll take a day off
So tired today. We've had two nights in a row of works happening on and around the local tram stop in the middle of the night. The first night was almost bearable, last night was far worse as they'd moved to the end of the stop nearer our window. Had to wear earplugs. City life! Hopefully it's […]
Had a realisation today. The thing where I rush around and always look super busy is actually a bit of a defence mechanism against actually having to do small talk etc. Hadn’t even realised I was doing that.
my body is a machine that turns 3-4 conversations with cool people into happiness for the rest of the day
Finally the fallen tree in my backyard gets removed today. There’s an overall larger job but I can only afford the main removal. Of course getting everything else done, it’d be cool if there were some gigs I can do
Although I allowed myself to be fed up and just deleted the machine without moving the followers because I'd had enough
I had a dream that @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social had sent me a tiny unpainted pewter wizard, and an engraved mystical coin. These were apparently me being called up to the big leagues, and I was panicking because I've not done serious improv ever. But then I lost the coin, so it didn't matter.
Forcing myself to not check my phone as much or feel compelled to post my every reaction to news, what I watch, and what I play has helped over the last week. I had an endless feeling of people looking over my shoulder because of how I was using social media.
it's #SpookySeason and it's supposed to be in my personal life...not at #work. #LifeWorkBalance
Sometimes I hate living in a city. It's a beautiful day and I want to sit outside on my porch but it's so loud out. Piercing noises and car sounds and sirens and idk man I just wanna enjoy a pretty day without needing noise cancelling headphones I guess
2 days to the DNV! España here I come!
wow i've just disappeared for like 3 days
Today was the first of six days off for me. 😁 My birthday is on Friday and I am resolved to NEVER work on or even around my birthday. (In lieu of gifts, I will accept a Brewers win later tonight so I can spend Friday evening having a fancy dinner instead of going to Game 5. 😆)
Hey! Quick life update. Senester is still going. Just wrapped up my midterms (got one more major exam before finals next month) and things are calming down a little HOWEVER I am still burnt out. I've got a few more c0mm$ to do this month, but I may take the rest of the year off of doing paid work
啊！我要滾去沒有太多網路支援的地方。重點不是這個，重點是我現在的情緒是老娘不想出門。
I got a free coffee at work yesterday but accidentally paid for it so the barista at the counter flagged me over on the way in and made me one for free to make up for it and then I accidentally paid for it again because I'm half asleep...
On a trip. Ask me stuff! ngl.link/clarissadelune
Something happened today and I wanted to mention it. One of the many issues I have is how I explain it I don’t want to be perceived most of the time. But about a year and a half ago I did something to counter intuitive to that. I started dressing differently I wouldn’t say dressing up or fashionable
Blä. I must away shortly. I had hoped to creep back into bed, but alas! A slug's work is never done. Perhaps upon my return. 🙄
The dream where I turn on the light in my bathroom and it doesn't come on.
Me, on phone: Yeah sorry, can't come out for drinks, something super important just came up at work last minute Me, *continues googling floorplans of famous cartoon character’s homes because I just 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 to know where all the rooms are in relation to one another*
Good evening everyone 🌆 It's been a mad busy day at work and I didn't even get time to wish you all a lovely day, so wishing you a lovely evening (or other time) now 💖
On the advice of my spouse, I have been diligently hitting Like on all the birthday wishes sent to me on Facebook, and now the algorithm thinks I’m really interested in happy birthday messages and is filling my feed with ones for other people.
I didn't do much. But that's ok. Mental day.
Sitting here in the hotel lobby, deleting the 218 calls I received in September from loan companies that don’t actually exist.
