tomakeanofferThis week had been a goddamn rollercoaster for me but in the end, I still made it to Friday! :D WOosh!
I know January has been rough for some of us for a variety of reasons but I am so proud to still be here and see that you are too. It is awesome and worthy of praise and pretty much just damn impressive if you wask me. We have survived this long, we can keep going. I believe in all of us.

• showing off something cool you've done/made/experienced this week.
• being generally enthused and excited about things that have happened.
• just being thrilled that you survived.
Come drop into the comments and let us know how you're doing and how things have gone.

Date: 2019-01-25 10:45 pm (UTC)I have deep empathy for you on the cough. I somehow got bronchitis this week, and have been hacking my brains out.
And save your words! They may feel unworthy right now, but I bet they'll be good for something another day.

Date: 2019-01-26 12:31 am (UTC)Thank you. I don't know how it happened, but I got bronchitis after spending all of LAST weekend at home (for the bad weather than never arrived), had Monday off and just went to the lab for a blood draw and by 4pm, started to feel like utter crud. Went to the doc on Wednesday and he said "bronchitis".
So, coughing my brains out, am an utter snot monster, and just gave into it today and after a drugstore run for more cough meds, got back into my jammies.
Have cancelled all weekend plans and will just write (and hopefully make headway into finishing this thing).

...the rest of the move to my new place, a week at work, administrative shenanigans at work, my mom heading back to her house after helping me move in, not knowing where anything is in the new kitchen, and feeling simultaneously lonely and overwhelmed by the prospect of peopling.
(Broader context for recent move: house of evil bees, fleeing house of evil bees, breakup with partner who liked the house of evil bees, heartbreak, financial support from parents, lots of cardboard boxes.)
I am pleased to be able to be flippant and cheerfully pissed-off about this, because the mental swamp of Everything Is Dreadful is riiiiiight over there but so far I've only dunked myself in it up to my chin, not over my head.
So, yeah. How're y'all?

Date: 2019-01-27 04:14 pm (UTC)Found you through one of those friending memes, and your space that you created here instantly feels like a welcoming place, a community. Even if I only get to visit intermittently, I'd like to thank you for existing and for making the world better.
