I self-advocated at work, and ended up with a slightly different schedule…and a raise alongside it. The big bonus is that I will be working counter- to when a certain two people from my irl would be awake. And I’d also have more time to do quality work, AND my gym schedule would fit perfectly…

I Have A Schedule! (and a lot of Anxiety to go with it)
I feel so danged excited to simply have a work schedule, and it’s just the biggest relief! For now, it is perfect. I won’t say exactly what time I work, but I will 100% be able to go to bed at the same time every day, and I love that very much. I’ll also be…
Catharsis vs Self-Soothing
I got an email this morning with two really good questions about one of my recent posts. A friend who has been keeping up since last year asked me why I didn’t include things like going to the gym, singing, going on long walks, and playing video games to my list of self soothing techniques….
Waysay Wednesday
One of my friends recently visited Denmark, and over dinner a couple of nights ago (yes, I do in fact go out with friends, sometimes), she excused herself, saying, “I need to visit the waysay.” I was intrigued, as I’d heard this before in a streamer friend’s stream but missed their explanation, and when she…
Tuesday Tuning: Finding Your WOO After a Re-Traumatization Event (as well as how to capitalize on it).
(don’t get excited, I’m not naming every blog post from here on out after the day that I am posting it, I’m in the middle of some…calibrations…also, I’m not a doctor nor am I any sort of accredited psychologist or counselor, but I was born and raised in a traumatic environment, so I have some…
Monday Affirmations
Heckin’ Instagram
So I was talking about how I repurposed an old insta to play with, right? Well they permabanned it, citing me for violating account integrity. In my defense: This has greatly disrupted my ability/preference/comfort in regards to being uniform across the board, and I’m really not comfortable with it. At all. The whole thing makes…
After All The Funerals
I got dressed this morning a little slower. Woke up still conflicted with my decision, but the way emotions have revealed themselves, there is a lot of hurt I need to heal. That wasn’t the only thing on my mind, as I had a memorial to attend, a cat to locate with my neighbor at…
Two Weeks in One Day
Holy shit…I would ask what else can happen, today, but there is still daylight outside. First, something on my heart – I feel really bad for what I did yesterday. But I had to do it. I knew something was up, but I didn’t know what. Now that I’ve committed to my decision, I see…
I Took Her Another One
cw: graphic description of alcoholism at its worst, mention of body fluids, blood, and personal neglect. Adapted from a personal experience. I took her another one. A glass bottle, a fifth, with VODKA written in Cyrillic, adorning the label beneath a popular brand’s logo. It was a gorgeous bottle, too. I recall another grandparent using…
