How's it going, FS?

[(Anonymous)]

How have you been, FS? Tell us all about it here.

I'm okay. I did find out that I really can't concentrate on doing any online work if I'm wearing pajamas. It's like I need to wear my work clothes to actually work or I'm just gonna waste the day watching reruns of The Golden Girls and eating chocolate chips.

How are you, anon?

Headache was better today, so listened to some music (Sabaton mostly, some John Williams). And didn't take a ton of benadryl, so didn't take a nap. My Toastmasters group met telephonically, that just finished a couple minutes ago. Now my parents are having a telephonic meeting of some kind, so dinner won't be until 8.

Not bad. I ordered weed for delivery this morning and the earliest delivery time I could get was tomorrow evening between 5 and 10 pm, lol. I guess all the other weed lovers had the same idea. I bought a pair of earrings from an Etsy artist last week and they came in the mail today, so that was nice. And I absolutely love them, so yay. I'm making homemade pepperoni and mushroom pizza for dinner tonight, opening a bottle of wine, and chilling out for the rest of the evening.

Well, got my blood drawn to be tested for lupus today. Didn't expect that when I went to the doctor for the weird rash on my face. Also, it took her three tries in three different places to get the blood. :(

Jobless now, so I'm watching Cheers.

Re: How's it going, FS?

So even before the pandemic I've been struggling a lot with my anxiety, fears of having repressed memories, and everyday stresses that many adults deal with (work/life balance, money, taking on more and new responsibilities as my parents come closer to retirement, etc.). The stress of COVID19 growing in the US and in my state didn't so much distract my stress/anxiety to something new but more it just threw my stress and anxiety management out of whack. As the weeks wore on I was just feeling so overwhelmed and my sleep schedule was going to shit. I've been journaling daily for the last 2 weeks and it's helped some, and then last night I ended up writing through the night.
I wrote so much, and most of it was about my childhood and a lot of feelings I've been barely able to contain for years. I would write and I'd just start crying. I took crying breaks and mind calming and resetting breaks, and then I'd continue to write until I was done. It took me 11 hours to feel like I was done writing.
I am feeling very tired but I can't sleep. I don't even want to look at my bed even though for months I've wanted nothing to do except crawl into bed and sleep. I feel like a lot of pent up emotions have been let loose and my shoulders feel much than they've felt for weeks. I literally feel like the weight of the world has been lifted.
I know I have a lot more work to do on my path to figuring out my emotional baggage, but I needed a night like last night. So you know, not great but a lot better than for the past few weeks (emotionally).

I made cottage pie today (cow, mushrooms, onion, celery, carrots, peas, purple potatoes with garlic mash and cheese on top), worked a bit at the station, and got give a mask that the Fire Chief's daughter made.

She sandwiched a layer of HEPA filter material from a furnace filter between cloth. Pretty cool!

I had a weird dream last night.

I was a part of a group of ladies who were doing their best to get one of our friends out of an abusive relationship and household. She apparently was a sweet lady who was going to school for either nursing or some other profession, and her S.O. would hit her sometimes. Well, apparently our tasks were tied to a giant candy cane that was larger than a normal walking cane, and we had to break off a bit (not for eating, weirdly) every time we did something, like help her gather her belongings, or have her sign up for a new apartment, things like that. Apparently, she was storing her fancy clothes, the ones her S.O. didn't like on the floor above, which was either an abandoned floor or an abandoned garage (she lived in a partially occupied apartment building, oddly). Well, the final and disproportionately largest piece (basically the entire stick part) was reserved for one of the husbands of our friends, whose task was to take the stick and have a nice long talk with the abusive S.O. He was like the type of character that Samuel L. Jackson might play. (Spoiler alert, they weren't talking.)

Oh, and at some point, I kept getting paranoid we were going to get caught while getting the lady to safety. I would run into random people in the hallways but do a bad job of acting cool, and my friends would criticize me, "you're being suspicious by trying too hard to not act suspicious!"

Wtf, brain?

For the first time in two weeks I actually managed to get a lot of drawing done today - I finally got started on planning out the first chapter of a graphic novel I'm working on and drew up some diary comic-strips. I also sketched out a lot of fan art stuff (I'm getting a head start for MerMay and the Good Omens anniversary), which I'm hoping to ink tomorrow or later this week.

I finished reading Dunja Brill's book Goth Culture Gender, Sexuality and Style. It was interesting to read but felt very dated in some of the discussions covering lgbtq+ topics (it was published around 2008).

I can’t concentrate enough to get anything done, and I hate it. It’s not a new problem for me, but at least at work where I was constantly being interrupted by people and having new problems tossed my way I kind of had an excuse to be scatterbrained. Now I’m at home all the time and it feels like a victory if I brush my hair and do the dishes. I’m worried for myself, for people I know who are high risk, for people who I know with family members who have it...

I stopped exercising because I used to walk all the time. Now I walk to the grocery store once a week. I haven’t left the house since Friday. I have heart congestion now (not from COVID) that’s never been a problem before.

In two weeks I’ll probably have to use up my accumulated leave and then go on unpaid leave when that runs out. I’m torn between hoping my (local government) finds me something to do, worried that whatever it is will be dangerous, and worried that they won’t find me a job and this’ll go on long enough that I get laid off.

I dunno, just having a bad anxiety day I guess. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I've got a bit of a headache, one of my cats peed on my bed, and the utility sink overflowed.

On the other hand, I was able to re-pot a plant that I'd successfully propagated, my bf and I were able to get an akebia in the ground, and finally brushed my doggo so that she's not shedding quite so much.

So, you know. It's been a day.

Dream Dinner Party

[(Anonymous)]

Well, the only dinner parties we can have now are dream dinner parties, so:

- what would you eat at your dinner party? what restaurant would you go to if you could go to any restaurant in the world?
- what 5 celebrities would you choose to join your dinner party? living or dead

Re: Dream Dinner Party

[philstar22]

Question: does it have to be "celebrity" as in movie/tv/sports person? Because if we're talking living or dead, can it be any famous person?

Re: Dream Dinner Party

[philstar22]

What would we eat: A hodgepodge international feast with a variety of great foods from all different countries. If it had to be a restaurant, hmmm, something seafood probably, but I don't know what specifically.

Who: Martin Luther King Jr., Ruth Bader Ginsberg, William Wilberforce, Sojourner Truth, Tolkien.

Re: Dream Dinner Party

[greghousesgf]

Hugh Laurie, John Lennon, Oscar Wilde, Billie Holiday and Lady Murasaki

Fanfic Prompts

[(Anonymous)]

I wrote a fic for philstar22 and I'd like to write another for another named user. I can go Disney, any pairing, though I specialize in slash and femslash. This is keeping me busy during my time at home. Prompt away!

Re: Fanfic Prompts

[(Anonymous)]

I know I'm not a named user, but maybe one will enjoy this prompt and want it too, because I would kill for actually dirty Elsa/Anna guiltfucking.

You're very kind, a very good writer as well! <33
