Anxiety, Anime, Manga, Voice Therapy
I was a mess yesterday, for some reason. In FB I wrote:
"Anxiety is worse today and tonight than it's been for quite a while. I felt anxious and almost panicky driving around for errands this morning.I have my first appointment regarding voice therapy tomorrow morning at 9:15 and am anxious about everything and am having trouble relaxing enough to ( Read more... ) -
My Kitchen Space
I thrifted this set of plastic shelves on the left for $35 while out with Miriam yesterday. This our little kitchen space down here now, with fridge, freezer, microwave, and toaster oven. The added shelves make everything rather tidier and more accessible.
I wish that I didn't think it was best to potentially settle in like we're going to be here ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I am so close to being able to play through Prelude in C without making one or two little mistakes along the way. So close!
I'm also starting to work on The Sunlit Garden from Revolutionary Girl Utena a little bit. That's the song that Miki plays on the piano. But...I might switch over to the intro to Watermark instead? Dunno.
The job hunt is ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts on the New Person
So, that was a really lovely evening with Mississauga girl! There will likely be more of them.
She showed me a conversation she was having with her friends about me. She called me a MILF 🤣 If the shoe fits... She also thinks it's quaint that I call everything an IM instead of saying text. To me, text is when you send someone an SMS message? I am ( Read more... ) -
Visiting Toronto, Laser
From yesterday evening:
I'm on the train home from Toronto after laser. I walked about 16k steps today, and I was *thrilled* to be walking around in a real city. After the appointment, I walked the 1.6 miles back to Union Station instead of taking transit just so I could be there, walking in the city.
I am a city girl.
Though the best part of walking ( Read more... ) -
Driver's License Mess
Car insurance has become kind of a disaster. I spent quite a while on the phone with CAA and got through the whole process of getting a quote. For some reason the agent's audio kept dropping out and we had to call each other back a couple times and that dragged things out even further. We got all the way to the end with a quoted rate of X. Then, ( Read more... ) -
New Hair!
And last but not least, a friend of Miriam's (and mine) helped me (well really, she did the whole process) dye my hair yesterday. It's only the second time I've done it: my hair has always been deeply important to me, and doing things to it like that has been scary.
The first time, I asked the stylist to match my natural color. This time, I decided ( Read more... ) -
Seeking Companionship
And I wrote an update for my seeking companionship filter!
I haven't said too much here, in part because I was kind of a mess since the election and wasn't doing a lot of seeking. But my head's been a bit more together and I am not going to let anxiety take any more of my life away than I have to. I've done enough of that!
So I'm still kind of ( Read more... ) -
Euphoria vs Dysphoria
I find it a little hard to keep up here because writing everything up for Facebook, and then copying it here and to Livejournal manually, takes time, and I don't always do it at the same time even though I keep wanting to. At one point, I was thinking about learning enough Javascript to write something that will automate this for me, but I didn't ( Read more... ) -
Emotional Dysregulation
My emotions have been yoyoing a lot lately, sometimes by the hour. On the downswings, lying down in a dark place and removing stimulation helps, so I've been trying to do that instead of doomscrolling on my computer, or freezing in place because I don't have capacity to make decisions about what I should do next. It's not very fun. Talking with ( Read more... )
