I've been trying to stop my screen time (laptop and phone, not necessarily TV) after 9:30 or 10, to help with my sleep. As you can tell by the time stamp, I'm not successful 100% of the time. I'd say maybe 60% of the time I get off screens by 10 p.m., though, and it does seem to help.
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I've been watching little but British competitive antiquing shows for the last while. They have the same rotating stable of experts to help out the civilians, and they're hysterical. In one of the recent ones, the host and the auctioneer are looking over the haul before selling them, and they're talking about the resurgence of interest in vintage baking ware. "I put it down to the recent spate of baking shows everyone's so interested in," the host says. The auctioneer nods sagely. "Mrs. Berry has a lot to answer for." "Yes, indeed." It tickles me to see how the cultural bits I'm interested in filter into the general British world. I had no idea Dr. Who was so entangled in daily life.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I do not want to go to work today. It's the equinox and this week has already been 3 million years long, so today should be a holiday.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Augh, my CW is super-stressed because she has too much stuff going on, including some personal stuff, and I sympathize, but I really don't like being put in the position of being her therapist.

Agree with t. Mostly because my whole body is in pain for various reasons (some of which I am unclear on—wtf body—and some of which I just don't appreciate). Don't want to.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've got a cat doing laps around me on my chair (arm-back-arm-lap... repeat) while a neighbor plays a bassoon. What quirky movie did I land in today?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm well into my work day and would still prefer not to be here. For no good reason! Just, don't wanna.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Jesse, we are one in this. I don't not even want a day at home in bed, I want a day away from everything and then I want like 3 days home with other people helping me with my house and projects that need doing.
My job is not part of this plan at alll.
Meanwhile I am actually buried in work.

I'm two and a half weeks from VACATION, which seems like a really long time.

Also I'm about to have the regular meeting with the person who thinks I'm incompetent, so that's fun.
