[Friday survival check in] this is what it feels like...

[tomakeanoffer]

I'm awake at a stupid hour and am going out later today, so I'm likely staying awake. Which is fine, as I need to reset my sleep anyway, so yes. Here's your post.

So, if you are not familiar, this post is
• for being excited about the things you've done this week
• for asking for help if you need it
• for venting about anything that mind need to be flailed over (but do let us know if you just need to vent, or if you'd like advice).
• for showing off something cool you've done/made/experienced this week.
• for being generally enthused and excited about things that have happened.
• for just being thrilled that you survived.

Come drop into the comments and let us know how you're doing and how things have gone.  If you need cheer leading or anything, feel free to say so, or if you just want to vent and don't want any advice or anything, let us know.

I do ask that if you have any triggering topics, that you mention them in the subject line, or first line of your comment. This is just so people can make informed decisions on what to read and keep everyone okay. <3 Thank you so much.

I did not punch anyone. Also I finished a draft and started another but mostly that no punching thing.

[naye]

Knowing the very punchable people you have around: congratulations! That's some A++ restraint - you should feel proud of yourself. Also yay for the finished draft!

Today is my last day at my job and I have a lot of feelings about it. The Capricorn in me hates not having a plan. However, I've felt anxious and melancholy since I started this job and will be glad to leave all that behind.

As things with my mother's spouse have become... tense, the goal is to find a new job and move out by October. It will take a lot of work and a lot of luck, but I have faith that things will work out.

In the mean time, I'm doing tarot readings for a donation of $5 or more. Hit me up if you're interested.

I've made a couple of art pieces that I'm really happy with! (this one and this one)

I also made plans with friends to go to a rally tomorrow.

New Florence + the Machine!

...is half the internet down???

Moving: still stress. Sick: still making it hard to do things.

graaaaaaah.

I started my new job, being a personal assistant for a disabled friend. I was worried about being any good at it (because like all disabled people who need care he's had so many bad experiences), but it seems to be going okay so far.

I haven't killed anyone and I get to sleep in an actual bed tonight, so that's a plus?

I'm thinking about putting up a write-for-commissions type post, but I'm not sure how to start or where to post it or if now is really the best time for it.

That is nice art.

I had a stressful week at work and I survived without being too messed up. Also, I had some actual social life, including managing to participate in a Pride Week event. Given my general dislike these days for getting out of the house when I don't have to, that's definitely a plus.

On the minus side, I'm kind of failing at getting my flat Mum-ready. But at least it's getting better? That's something.

[mific]

Hooray on the no punching front! :)

[mific]

Ooh, lovely!

[mific]

Sending you good thoughts on the moving!

[mific]

Good going!

[mific]

Well done on the not killing!

[mific]

Congrats on getting out of the house!

[mific]

Did well on the art front and in RL work I helped a few people, which, you know, is my actual job, but still!
Less good on the sensible lifestyle front, esp. health. But yesterday I was sure I had a fever and today no sign of it, so that’s good. Next step, get some actual fucking exercise.
ETA: by which I mean exercise exercise. Not fucking. Argh. /o\

<333 Thank you

[tomakeanoffer]

<33333

[tomakeanoffer]

Yeah, it was hard but I'm fucking proud of myself.

[tomakeanoffer]

I believe in you. <3 You can do this thing and I am really, really hoping for the best.

[tomakeanoffer]

I hope the rally went well. <3 Also yay art things!

[tomakeanoffer]

New Floooorence! It was thrilling.

*offers all the hugs and hoping the internet is behaving if nothing else*

[tomakeanoffer]

Oh, go you! I really, really hope the PA job goes well.

[tomakeanoffer]

Yay beds! Beds are such a luxury sometimes.

Good luck with your writing thing. <3 I hope it goes well.

[tomakeanoffer]

Go you! Both of those things are awesome and I hope you are proud of yourself.

*hugs* I hope you can accomplish more cleaning things. Best of luck.

[tomakeanoffer]

Hey, go you! *pompoms*

I understand the need for exercise. I'm trying to get that done and I am failing miserably at it.

[auroracloud]

Thanks! I've been kind of crappy at that most of this year (except for obligatory or regularly scheduled things, like work), so it's nice to see that I'm starting to be capable of not living in a cave. :-) (I wish I had my own cave, though! Or maybe not. It might have spiders in it or something. Maybe having a flat is good.)

[auroracloud]

*hugs* Thank you! As it was, I didn't have much more cleaning time because I was about to leave for my Mum's (and she'd drive me back), but well, she didn't have time for as thorough a look at my home as I worried, so she didn't see every way I'd failed to clean things up. And at least I got some things done I hadn't done in a long time, so I'm a little bit closer to having a neat home.

[tomakeanoffer]

I know how that goes. We're really bad about leaving the house most of the tie except for obligations. I'm making an effort to be better about hat but it's hard considering we don't drive and right now, we're in a place that doesn't have amazing public transit.
