Weโ€™ve got rainy conditions that are perfectly meditative. Iโ€™m resisting the urge to ruminate or crawl into the self-pity cave.

A pint of gelato is one serving, in my experience.

My nerves are completely shot today. Iโ€™ll make it, but Iโ€™ll be sliding into bed later in a rough state. This is just not good, not good at all.

I need a hug and a drink. I think Iโ€™ve got both lined up tonight.

Listen.

Everyone is going through a TON of shit right meow. I get it. SO AM I. But...

Life isn't about being peachy. It's hardship, struggle, touch decisions, life-altering planning and partnership.... It's f*cking rough!

Now pull back your shoulders, rest your arms, and let them drop to your side. Deeeeeep breathes everyone. Deep breathes.

Sometimes self-care means telling off that committee member who made the insensitive remark. Gently, though, and in a considered way, no matter how much you may want to tell him to go fuck himself.

I was up and out of my house today before 8 am. No, nothing's wrong.

TMW the woman you messaged on the dating site, who also follows you on a social media place, replies to you on the social media one, and you donโ€™t know if she actually read your message on the dating site, so youโ€™re not sure just how flirty (could be 0) sheโ€™s being right now.

Remind me sometime to tell you about this mess of a social event Iโ€™m trying to get involved with this weekend.

Shit. Theyโ€™re playing Jeopardy on a tv in this place where Iโ€™m trying to work. How the FUCK am I supposed to get anything done now?!

I thought these signs were a show of solidarity for our immigrant and refugee population. Nope. Some shithead, now fired transit police officer actually threatened a passenger.

Tech hates me today. Iโ€™m going back to bed until next month.

Hey, if you haven't already met my buddy @jeffmueller be sure you say hi. He's good people.

โ€œIโ€™ll see what I can doโ€ is the answer I give when someone asks me to take care of something I know Iโ€™ll totally ignore.
