I've been worrying the shit out of my mother, apparently, because I'm not talking to her enough, and she's depressed and not eating.

OK, worried you can't do anything about--she's your mom, she'll probably do that. But depressed and not eating?? That's so not on you. She's an adult.

Just booked two ridiculously complex travel weeks. I wish I'd been able to get them to all be TOGETHER, instead of going SEA-LAX-TUC-SEA and then a few days later SEA-LAX-SMF-PHX-SEA. Ugh!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I tutored, which was mostly sitting / standing in the back of the class and looking alertly at the students when the teacher's back was turned. Evidently my gaze is somewhat searing.

The tablet is in my hands! Or technically my lap. Mostly I just wanted to get it earlier rather than later so I can start the updating/downloading/customizing process because I have to do laundry and pack tonight and I want to take the tablet with me over Christmas.

SEA-LAX-TUC-SEA and then a few days later SEA-LAX-SMF-PHX-SEA.

I do hope I'm not the only one seeing the name of over the counter medications in those initials.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's so not on you. She's an adult.

Yeah, but I rank lower than her, so...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I recommend that everyone work someplace with the kind of mental health team you'd hope for. I was having a brief chat with one of them, and mentioned my two weeks off, and said "Good for you! Good self-care." THANK YOU.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Just to show, anyone can be civic-minded.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The only problem with taking today off is that I feel like I should also have tomorrow off. Which I don't.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Haven't been LDB'd yet, but there's still a week to go...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Ugh, I think I didn't get a flu shot last year, because I totally forgot that I almost always feel slightly crappy for a couple of days after I get it. (This is the sort of thing I can't post on FB, because then people reply with "See! This is why I don't get the flu shot! You can't trust it!" When what's happening is I have an immune system that overreacts to everything, NOT that the flu shot is the devil. The slight crappy feeling is well worth being vaccinated.)
