    Appalachia is flooded and tons of people can’t get clean water or evacuate due to roads collapsing. Opened Tumblr, saw a smug liberal practically orgasming over “you Trump voters” getting what we deserve.

    I guess I’m fighting with my only friend again. I told him I explained something badly and he misunderstood it. He told me he’s too stupid to have serious conversations with. I reiterated that the communication failure was on my end, and he’s not stupid. He suddenly flipped the script and said I always make him feel stupid and that I think he’s lesser than me. Even though he was calling himself stupid and I was trying to reassure him? I attempted to comfort him and asked what I could do better, since I actually really admire him, but he hasn’t replied.

    It’s almost time to return my library book and I’ve barely touched it. I carry it everywhere with me, but we’re so busy I have to work through my breaks and I pretty much fall asleep when I get home. I guess it’s more of a hobby for well off people.

    Maybe next week will be remotely decent.

      That shit pisses me off so bad. Different part of Appalachia, but I lived in WV for a year and will go off when someone makes a comment about the people there. There are a lot of great folks fighting the good fight.

        It’s so stupid, ain’t it? The logic is so broken when you think about it. So the south has oppressive laws. You think that’s bad, because people deserve better, right? Except then you hate people for being oppressed, so much that you want them to suffer further punishment.

        So you don’t actually hate oppression, right? So then why don’t you like the south?

        Liberals are some of the stupidest creatures alive. (I’m a leftist)

    Not beehaw, but I hope I’m welcome to share my weekly worries anyways…

    I’ve been taking on a little more tasks at work this past half year, but it’s slowly starting to pour out of my agenda. This week is the start of another big task to add to my agenda in exchange for some other, “less important” tasks. It might be time to say “no” more, but I’m not very good at that. I wasn’t very good at asking for help either, but I’ve learned to do that more because I had to. So I hope I can also learn to say “no” more in these coming weeks. Specifically to those people who depended on me for those “less important” tasks.

    Went on a coffee date with someone that went quite well, we’re even making plans for a second date.

    She’s also been sending pictures of some of the rocks in her collection to me, which is awesome!

    She has this barely-contained-chaotic-joy about her that’s just awesome to see. We were talking intermittently for a few weeks before I got a glimpse of that joy, then we were talking quite a bit more. And then we went to get coffee which turned into lunch as well.

    NGL last week was pretty great. Only the second successful date in the last 4 years for me, but I’ll take any win I can.

    Hmmm, sortof same-ish as last week. Rib still a little rough, doc said it was probably costochondritis from having COVID and will go away. Is taking its time but slowly going away :-\

    I think Essentia (local major health system) pumps drugs into their air or something: I always get all excited and encouragey-happy at their offices. Doc convinced me to sign up for stuff and add another anxiolytic. I went in today to peep at one of the thera-things and eep! 8:00-15:00 groupapy four days a week! I declined for now but the critter there was very helpy and I’ma get a new therapist sometime 😅 Looking forward to a comfy one who can provide some hope and help nodnoddle The current one has offered to refer me for a helpycritter who I think will help me sort out all’ the stuff I need to get set up to start becoming stable. Could be good! tentative wigglish-wobble!

    Dunno if it’s the meds or what but I keep having these weird perspective-shift things that make me feel all tiny and vulnerable >.<; Am mouse but not scaredy squishy mouse! Am cute wiggly mouse! I think maybe what’s happening is something’s dragging me out of my usual detached kind of state and making me feel stuff that’s reasonably there anyway? Or it’s just upsetting my wiggly skittery skittish lil mind, I guess. Idunno. :-\

    Also, this fluffy cat likes me too much now and spends all night in my room MEOWING LOUDLY and messing with things on my desk and occasionally loafing on top of me. She’s cute (and soft) but I wish she’d let me sleep :(

    Working on an IT project, too. A website relaunch for a local waste disposal company. We are running behind with coding, but so is the customer with adding content. But it’s gonna be a nice, beautiful site with lots of api connections and nifty tools for the end customer. It’s fun for me.
