[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Dana - those SBP positions are all Americorps positions (no money) and I've known a number of people who worked for them and didn't have a good experience. The other one might be worth applying for, though. Thank you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ah, I wondered about Americorps. The transit one sounded kind of cool, though.

Anyone around to beta an email for me? It's for a company that might have an opening, but I don't think I'm supposed to know that, so I'm coming at it obliquely.

Thrive to spite them

Therapy was... partly me venting about politics and then coming to some personal realizations. Crying a lot.

Then I went to the grocery store (and cried in the grocery store) but my shopping done and did not have a single moment of anxiety about being in the actual store (a big deal).

And I realized some other things - emailed my therapist so we can talk about it next week and then also shared with Mom...who was supportive.

But wait there is more! I called Verizon and talked to them about my phone and the disconnecting wireless and he guy was relaly nice and figured out it's as software failure and I'm resetting my phone.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Adulting Tuesday, let's make it a thing. My adulting was self care and getting my arse to the rec center to work out. I feel so much better - I guess I'm finding those workout endorphins. I always thought that was a myth (at least I have never felt a runner's-high {walker's-high}?).
