"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks, Jesse. I'm going to find time to see Birds of Prey whether or not TCG wants to go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, now I want to see that, too!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay, sj! I'm thinking I might see Star Wars and Birds of Prey tonight after work. I might not be up for that long of a stretch in the theater, though, we'll see.

Happy birthday t!

I do have a happy light and I have not been using it. Good reminder (though not nearly the same as actual sunshine sadly)

Thanks, Jesse and meara!

I keep forgetting it's my birthday because I am so stressed about work. No bueno

Oh yeah, surely not! My coworker just came back from Aruba, which seems like such a good idea! I'm not having a beach vacation until April, which now seems way too late.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am on day two of not wanting to do anything. I forgot meds yesterday which is not great, so I made sure to take them first thing this morning.

I knew I would crash from the whirlwind of the last month, but I hate to just sit for a whole day.....and yet, doing something else seems like a mountain.

So I am putting it out here for accountability.

I will shower and wash dishes and either apply for at least one job or unpack at least one more box.

There.

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

Epic, you need a thimble! Not that I've ever been able to use one. But, you know, theoretically one saves your skin from punctures and things.

I have one! But I'm not good about using it. Plus I generally use it on the side that's on the back side of the fabric to avoid stabbing it. My new dent is on the other hand - it's like the callus you get from using a pen, except much more concentrated, because width of a needle. I think it may actually be a bit of a blood blister, but because it's under my pen callus, it's taking a while to work its way to the surface.

I do have a happy light and I have not been using it. Good reminder (though not nearly the same as actual sunshine sadly)

As my house did not burn down, you're always welcome to couch surf to our sunshine, meara! Though I think Laura's may be a bit more consistent.

Not acceptable! You need birthday happiness! I insist that the stress knocks it off! Pronto!

That sounds like a good amount of stuff to do. I'm sure you need the rest! But then it's easy to get in the habit of not doing anything and falling into the doldrums, I know.

My rule when not working was always to leave the house every day, at least for a quick errand or short walk.
