Wow, Steph. You really just nailed it for me.
Tom, I hope it helps too.
You want to meet the real me now?

Because books.
That's it in a nutshell, Steph. I hope therapy is cathartic today, Tom.
Laura, that is some serious fuckery.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds awful, Tom, but not, like, an irrational reaction? I hope venting helps.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, that's my experience too. So far (you know, the past two days), I feel slightly better.

I was going to make my usual complaint that working 5 days in a row is too much, but then I remembered that I called in sick on Monday. I should probably look for a new job. Just saying that "out loud" to make it more real to myself.

Steph has nailed how I'm feeling as well, which is why I had to talk myself down in the shower this morning.

And, gah, the news out of Butte County is pretty bad. I am not a fan of fire season.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When does the rainy season usually start in CA?

I just saw the term "firenado" on CNN, and that is not a thing that should exist.

-t you should probably look for a new job. Even if working five days a week IS stupid, I agree.
