I kind of feel like I look like a jerk though.. Edit- I'll probably be switching between them and/or going blurry. If you wave and I don't wave back I probably didn't see you 🫠

On one hand, I wish I had driven home this afternoon. On the other, I know that's exhausting and my body is already tired and stressed so driving in the morning is better. But, on the first hand, there are very few slammed doors at my house.
Just accidentally cleared notifications realising I'd not read some replies. Sorry! If I missed anything. 😭😊
had a flat tonight on the e-bike, i have a rough idea of who is responsible. messy neighbors who are constantly doing renovations and remodeling. we're always finding sheetrock screws and finishing nails all over
And I'm going out for food with a friend 🎉
Definitely hitting a wall today after a "long" nearly 7 hour day full of approaching deadlines (and meetings). Ironically I have something to do I'm quite interested in today and I've barely made any progress. Anyway, thanks burnout. Hopefully it'll get better by the end of the year.
Unplanned evening to myself. Time to ignore the mountain of work to do around the house and watch anime. :ds_muichiroyaya:
The problem with walking is that it gets my brain working and I have all these ideas, and then I get home and I have other responsibilities and a list of things I need to do first.
I don’t make any promises, but I hope to be back to something a bit higher-effort tomorrow. 😩
I leave for Alabama tomorrow, and it's for a joyful time, so I'm hanging on to that, because otherwise, it's always so complicated to navigate gracefully.
the need to go do errands. The urge to blow them off and stream
Oh right, I forgot to update my age in bio le sigh
Ugh- I just arrived in Berkeley tonight to give a lunch talk tomorrow (first work trip in about a year no less!), but husband reports two of our kids are sick. So taking the early flight home tomorrow instead of giving a talk at Berkeley. 😔
Woke up from a terrible work nightmare T_T
I need to get my own fan this is exhausting
It’s pub day!! Heading back north to Holmfirth, where I’ll be at Holy Trinity Church at 7:30 to talk about SLEEPERS, fear, folklore, and making grief into something beautiful…
hungry but i don't want to get up
ty for being patient with my freakout the elephant in the room is that i was NOT planning to work on my thesis this early but circumstances came up thanks to my wonderful uni and now i’m just expected to start it 4 months earlier than i planned 👍
I thought someone recorded me going home for a second. But I also plant my scooter firmly in the middle of the road.
I'm so tired. While I was at work the washing machine repair people came, my mom let them in. The part that came in the mail is broken, they cannot fix it. They tried to turn off the washing machine water line and broke it (it was old so not their fault) and now I have to call the plumber tomorrow.
I've been wearing a beanie hat to work this week to cover up my matted ponytail until I can fully fix it (a process which is COMING ALONG) and it makes me feel like a douchebag
Okay. So that was weird. I missed my train and I'll have to get a later flight but I'm so less stressed about it than I would've been. I worked out my options, bought an okay priced later flight and figure I'll do something touristy before heading for the airport.
I think the days where I can get a bike ride in after work are growing short, heh. I beat sunset by 5 minutes tonight.
I realized that 50% of the things I procrastinate on are just because I don’t want to run into one of my neighbors
Rather sore! Went out this morning to meet a friend from interstate who's in town on her birthday! We went to the Victoria Markets and bought yummy deli food and snacked. Fourth day in a row I've gone out, which is BUSY for me.
The mercilessly unfair thing about having broken the coffee grinder is that I have to work out how to mend it before I have drunk any coffee.
ready to go to bed but wanted to let my phone charge a little more before bed so found a 15-20 min video to kill time didnt realize its apparently still hot enough in this room that it automatically paused charging while i wasnt looking its past midnight
This talk about Travis's birthday right now reminds me of last year on my birthday how DEPRESSED I was. My fiance and I were only like 5 months into our engagement, we had just moved to Portland 4 months before my birthday. There was so much NEW happening that I think I was still overwhelmed
The seasonal lights today on my way to work around the town felt like little dots of happiness.
While I have been critical of others on social media for the stuff they put out, I am also constantly thinking about the persona that I also emit. I'm trying so hard to be less negative and a big part of that is understanding the amount of energy I have and questioning if it is worth spending.
We had a full day of sunshine and went to the pool and rented bikes and I like Santa Susanna now.
i'm supposed to have DND tomorrow & i messaged the DM of that campaign to let them know yknow my plan is to be there but i may decide to back out given the recent death in my family or be spacey. they immediately said it was okay and i could even come over but watch movies instead 😭 love my frens
My 5yo being grumpy as all hell for hours and then passing out 45 minutes before her usual bedtime is all of us when we realize ah, turns out everyone around me isn't the worst I was just tired
It’s been such a long hot summer that I’d kinda forgotten how it feels to get out of bed when it’s cold outside of the covers.
I spent the last 2 days flying without an autopilot because it was broken and it was -exhausting-. They finally fixed it but holy moly. 😵💫
If I’m leaving town for ~36 hours, there is nothing I will stress more about than that all the batteries I’ll need are charged 🔋
It’s been a few weeks since my mom passed and as someone who just loathes feelings I am really not having a great time but so far I am only taking it out on B2B spammers who keep trying to sell me, like, commercial waste hauling or weird machine parts
Today a coworker tried to argue with me that my driveway is longer than I said it was. He has driven on it once, but I use it practically every day, since it’s my driveway.
Anyway, I was on the Duke bus today and I overheard one student say to another “I’m working on a really cool project that’s all about how to reach, you know, old people, like, you know, in their 30s or 40s” & if you need me I’ll be the one curled up on the floor in the corner of the room crying lol
most years I don't care that my brother usually doesn't acknowledge my birthday but this year was my 30th and also the first one without our mom so like... I think he could've at least sent a text
doing a corporate training video and someone clearly spilled coffee in this PC speaker so I’m just getting ambient static from the computer and I’m basically in Silent Hill rn
Most of the time I unconsciously shut up my feelings so I got the hit at 3am with a sudden need to cry and crash out because of stress out of nowhere. The reason today is because venezuelan banks are useless and I live with the constant fear of losing any way of incomes
I actually fell asleep on the bus today going home and missed my stop (lol) so I had to get off and walk to the closest connection stop and it allowed me to walk a couple streets in a neighborhood I'm usually never at and they have some pretty houses
A really smart person told me recently that I need go out even if there's no one to go with, so I'm gonna get my nails done, take myself to dinner and then go see Street Fighter. 😊
Kinda wish I was able to head out to detour and similar events to meet everyone in person and just have a good time. The downside to being all the way over in Australia, it costs a lot of $$$ to do so.
life has been on an uptick this year, especially compared to last year which was probably one of the worst years of life. part of me is scared that things will come crashing down at some point really soon but i’m trying not to think that way!! i’m trying really hard!!!! i’m trying to enjoy the good!
I am tempted to take tomorrow afternoon off work and have an afternoon / evening at a theme park doing halloween things and going on rides. Feels a bit weird to do on your own, mind.
I got so pissed off at life stuff offline (it's hard to be friends with friends sometimes) that I crashed at 7pm out of that exhaustion that comes from anger, but now it's 11pm and I'm awake and oh no this was all a series of unfortunate decisions
If I marry it’ll be for one of two reasons: i absolutely fell in love or for the sheer drama of having what looks to be a complete stranger approach me mid conversation at an event and go “so I see you’ve met my wife”
Filled out 600 forms this morning for the mortgage and mom's last SS payment and the refund on her Medicare premium. Now I just need to scan another 300 forms and I'll be finished with this paperwork. I still have not addressed the roof.
