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.

Sure smonster, email or fb or whatwvwr

Thank you, meara, Insent to profile addy.

Just emailed back smonster--I think it sounds pretty good!

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.

askye, you're adulting! congratulations!

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}?).

My mission is to preserve and promote beautiful things, ideas, and people.

Oh, smonster, I _love_ this. Well done you.

Moving toward beauty, rather than from pain, might be more fun.

I've been swamped...like feeling like drowning...lately, but I'm coming up for air now.

I wonder where you could find a woman who supports the arts, or social justice, who needs an assistant who moves around, serves as a conduit between that person and other people doing good, and helps to deliver/formulate plans.

Not behind a desk.

Oh, smonster, I _love_ this. Well done you.

Well, I would never have come up with it without your help. I like that it covers my love of pop culture, feminism, pimping stuff I like, recycling, preservation, etc.

And I'm glad you are starting to feel a little less overwhelmed. Have things settled down with the angry ex-client?

Also, that's an interesting idea, I will ponder. I do know some folks involved in the arts here, they might have ideas.

Had lunch with current boss today. Failing anything else, he about has me talked into transitioning from working for him to starting my own thing. I have a colleague at my other job who is also contemplating starting a preservation contracting company, so we could potentially team up, but our personalities don't mesh that great right now, and we don't spend that much time together. We g t along much better than we did when she first joined the company, though. Gotta choose an underserved niche… if this pocket door thing goes well this weekend, that's a possibility.
