Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Yay, askye!

Good for you for doing the work, Steph.

I think I'm going to take a vacation day from work next Monday, to get stuff done and general mental health. My sick/vacation time was completely screwed up by the new(ish) employer at the beginning of this year, so I have to be careful about budgeting my time off, but I've got stuff that needs to get done and several busy weekends coming up that won't allow the extra time, plus I think my truck needs to visit the mechanic again...plus I feel like if I don't take a day voluntarily, I'm going to get sick and be forced to take a day off yet not get anything done. Yeah, I keep arguing with myself about it, but I think I've worn me down.

Hope you enjoy your break, sj.

ION, I think this election has finally driven me to unfollow, and possibly unfriend somebody. I used to consider her a very good friend (though we haven't been close since she moved away) so I hate to do it, but her pattern on FB has escalated, culminating in her commenting on a mutual friend's post: "When will believers understand that Democrats hate us?" Because she's the type to dig in and strike back when disagreed with, I don't feel safe enough to point out that I'M a believer AND a Democrat, and that I don't hate anybody. It makes me so sad, but I clearly need to remove her from my life.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

(1) Teppy, I'm so sorry your wretched brain chemistry is screwing you over. You are fucking awesome. I mean, i know that me saying that is kind of futile, but - man, you are not turning into a supervillain of destructo powers, you've just had shitty synchronicity in place. (Probably. Although if it IS evil superpowers, that's actually v. Cool and you should give me the keys to a shiny new Australia.)

urgh, though - you deserve so much better. I hope that your meds can be adjusted to help you with this.

Woman, we are OLD. (Luke Perry is on the cover of the AARP magazine.) Porn is like, I woke up today and only one ankle hurt instead of two.

Oh God. Ain't it the truth?

(3) hello peoples.

blows kisses to Fay

Go Teppy with doing the hard work!

I did unfriend one and unfollow several. It is sad.

Compassionately intolerant

I've been led to that too.

I am sad, but honestly, relieved.

W00t! Fay's back in Bitches!

My Republican family members are being very, very quiet about politics on Facebook. I don't know if they're being considerate of my delicate feelings or if they're just that ashamed of their party's candidate. Either way, I'm relieved about it.

In other news, I just blocked off time for the winter holidays this year in the office calendar. And I realized that I'm really looking forward to it this year. No idea why, and heaven knows I don't want to see ads or store decorations up until after Thanksgiving (yeah, good luck there). But the thought of putting up and decorating a tree, baking, spending time with the family up north, it all makes me smile. Guess I'm getting sentimental in my late middle age.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think things are often different as we go along. Dealing with my disability didn't end when I was eight and my parents and I talked about "forever" with an eight year old.(Even though a lot of well-meaning able-bodied people tend to get stuck here...with the whole "kids are cruel" thing and, it is true that people aren't as likely to blurt out "You look *funny*" (Trump aside) every stage definitely still has new challenges.

PS: Kind of works my nerves what an aberration that encounter with the reporter is treated as. I have seen that gesture approximately a million times. Not usually from a dude with a staff and dropped testicles, but can we please stop with "Mocking a disabled person?! How low can you go?" especially since to get on NYT, I would let someone do that every week if they felt like it. (Not really. Almost.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I don't want to see ads or store decorations up until after Thanksgiving (yeah, good luck there).

There are assorted Christmas decorations and such in the CVS. I saw them today (when I was buying a Halloween pumpkin, because THAT IS THE CURRENT HOLIDAY), and I actually recoiled.

Fay!

I fell asleep when the inlaws were here instead of going out. I didn't realize how exhausted I was.

Lovely to see you in this 'hood, Fay!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I got home, and there was a note on my door from FedEx, saying that they tried to deliver a package, and it requires a signature, and that this was their third and final attempt to deliver it. I haven't been home much, but this is absolutely the first time that there's been a note like this on the door. Their tracking thing says that they attempted delivery twice before, and they claim they left notes then. And they can't leave the package without a signature.

By the way, it's a box of sanitary napkins.
