Sounds fun, Jilli.
Tell me you are belly dancing to The Cure.
I would assume so! Anyway, classes start in September, so that's when I'll find out.
Hey, let's start a Kickstarter for me to come to Seattle to take that class with Jilli.
For, um...art?
Hee! Yes, for art!
My friend: I love that you're a pissed-off mega-leftist generally. But the punk-rock Diogenes thing? Is a little played. Smooches.
Man. I slept ten hours last night and then took two two-hour naps. I really didn't realize I was so stressed out by the storm. I just couldn't do anything. I couldn't even make myself go to Nora's even though I knew it would make me feel better. All I could do was sleep.
It felt strangely familiar, and then I realized: this is how I felt for years, when I was really depressed. Too exhausted to cook, or leave the house, or be productive. In an odd way, it validated my struggles back then and I also want to say to those who are struggling now, like askye:
Go easy. Be kind to yourself. You are doing the best you can. What you are going through is real, not imaginary, and it is really difficult.

I was definitely more stressed about the storm than I realized. I think next storm I will give greater thought to evacuating. I don't know. Even though everything worked out OK this week, it was super stressful, in ways I only feel now that the danger has passed.
I think next storm I will give greater thought to evacuating.
Just so you know, evacuating is also very stressful. I think it's actually more stressful than staying put, which is why people prefer not to.
