30 minutes of time is a massive amount for me.
Right? People advocating anything go around saying things like "all it takes is an hour/30 min/15 min a day!" like anyone can do that. NO WE CAN'T
On a TIN chimney? Woodpecker, go home, you're drunk.
No, no, that's normal behaviour! Sometimes they are pecking looking for insects, but sometimes they are just making noise to let all the other woodpeckers know they are there and this is their territory, and for that purpose pecking on a metal chimney is very effective! Although it is loudest inside the house, it's pretty loud outside, too.
Where does your wife work, Gud? Not actual company, but what is the set up? It seems odd to me that you are doing IT work at an office.
Clever woodpecker then!
I hope no one minds if I make anxiety posts the next day or so. Oh look autocorrect knows "posttraumatic".
To stave off anxiety. Today I :
Got 8 invoices off my desk
Picked up meds I was out of
Paid 3 important bills (no paper, so in addition to ones above)
Did reports due and 90% of ones due tomorrow
Made gym appt
Ate real food
Man talking loudly on Bluetooth with his mortgage company. Doesn't sound like an amicable conversation. I sympathize, but he also sounds like someone who'd try to sell you on a pyramid scheme.
To stave off anxiety.
There's a post I saw on Tumblr that's a drawing of a person picking up and hugging this round squishy creature, and the idea is picturing your anxiety as something outside yourself that you can calm down when it gets all freaked out. I've tried it this week, and it actually helps. (I also tell it "I gotchu, baby girl," but that's optional.)
I mean, to be clear, it doesn't make my anxiety go away, but it dials it down, which is enough.
I picture my anxious self as myself at around six years old.
Peace, Biscuit, and comfort to his humans.
Congrats, flea, and salute to your reflexes, Matt.
Sympathies on the illness, msbelle and mac, and oh yes, exec dysfunction, so familiar, so much fun.
Have a good trip anyway, Zen.
Yeah the loud drumming is actually mate-calling. "Bachelor, here! Reeeeeaally good bachelor here, all you hot woodpecker chicks, come check out *this* drumming action!"
