July is, as I mentioned, fucking over! We survived, and I am PROUD cause oh fucking howdy, the world wanted to try and bring us down. But here we are, on the second day of August, still alive and functioning and hell, I'm calling that a win.

I hope you are doing well. I hope you can get out of bed and do things today and, if you can't, I hope you are comfortable and safe <3

I took part in the challengeonthebigbridge, and posted to my AO3 account xnera for the first time. That took some figuring out—I hadn’t realized until I was ready to post that AO3 doesn’t have image hosting for fan art so I had to scramble and find hosting. I ended up making an imgur account.

I also made dinner this week! Usually my mom cooks but she is on vacation, so it was up to me to cook for me and my dad. I did NOT burn any pots this time, huzzah!

[kendiefox]

Congrats on posting new fic!

And extra congrats for successful cooking!

[shanaqui]

Good job on making dinner! And there I'm too lazy to even try... XD

TW: pet illness, people being assholes

Someone told me that our sick rabbit "wants to cross the rainbow bridge" and that we are torturing him by not letting him die. We have been seeing a vet twice a week during his illness, and she says he may still recover and is not suffering unduly; we have been judging daily whether he is still in there and not too distressed, and we think he's actually fairly happy.

But no, you go off and decide that my bun should just die already, random person I knew when I was 18.

[kendiefox]

Would you like an internet hug? Because people are dumb and you and the vet obviously know more about the situation than some random on facebook.

[shanaqui]

Internet hugs are really quite good, thank you!

[analise010]

Yooooooo. Would you like me to fight that person for you? BECAUSE I WILL, FRIEND. How dare they!

[shanaqui]

I was really tempted. In the end I blocked them, because... you know what, I did not ask for their opinion!

[auroracloud]

People can be so stupid. Best wishes to you and your bunny.

In better news:

This shirt has arrived!

And I have Crowley icons now.

[kendiefox]

That shirt is adorable!

[auroracloud]

Yay Crowley icons!

[thedarlingone]

I applicated to an apartment? aaaaahhhhh O_O

now I am trying to decide whether to paint it on move-in, and if so what color

[kendiefox]

aahh! That's exciting!

I vote against painting it pepto bismol pink, but, honestly, it's your life to live.

As someone who had a brief fad for lilac and then was stuck with it for years, I can only say that lilac is not a fave choice. White was flexible with everything, but also got really old...

It's been a stressful and shitty week and last night was the absolute shit cherry on the shit cake and I'm even madder about it all now that I've slept on it, but hey ... still here. Through sheer rage at this point, I think, but....

[kendiefox]

You're still here. That counts for a lot.

I've got blanket forts if you want comforting and freshly sharpened weapons if you'd rather hit things.

[hitokage]

currently taking out my rage towards my selfish mother trying to erase any and all traces of queerness from her family by snapping long beans XD Actually, could do with sharp weapons about now.....

[analise010]

Honestly? Sometimes rage can be motivating. You do you, friend. ♥

[shanaqui]

We hear you.

[analise010]

I got a new tarot deck and she's BEAUTIFUL (request a reading because - YOU KNOW YOU WANT ONE - here).

Currently on the job market and spending 50% of my time exploring my creativity and 50% of my time fighting with the fucked up US unemployment system. On the bright side, I have 2 job prospects that are look good, but I won't have a definitive answer until next week. Fingers crossed!

[shanaqui]

Good luck with the jobs!

[kendiefox]

Fingers crossed for the job prospects!

1. I stopped working on something that Colleen wanted me to do, before I either got stressed and frustrated, or damaged my back. Later, I figured out a better alternative and did it that way.

2. I went for a 15-minute walk.

3. Colleen's health is continuing to hold up.

[shanaqui]

Yay for fitting in a walk, and health, and figuring out good ways to do things.

Tuesday I go on a short day trip boat cruise Bast. I am glad you are well. :D

[badfalcon]

I collapsed in work yesterday, got taken to hospital and it turns out I had an acute migraine with an aura. Doc thinks its caused by stress and I daren't take any time off because... I'm pretty much the entire department next week :/
