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

Sorry, I'm being so whiny. I'm at least trying to eat healthyish in the hopes of getting some energy.

I have a hard enough time dealing with my depressed and avoidant self. I can't imagine trying to do it with a toddler.

Yeah, Dana. Then add some guilt for being an awful mother to the mix.

I'm drinking more tea. Last time I had coffee I was sick for a week. So, I can't do that.

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

I just saw an ad for a Women's Sexy Goldfish Costume.

It was actually kind of cute, but I don't want to encourage that sort of thing.

Vortex, you were watching The Good Place on the treadmill? That would make a great reaction video

I'm sorry, askye.

sj, actually feeding yourself and ltc whatever you can regardless of whether it's healthy, getting outside, any exercise you can manage no matter how little exercise you think it is.

I also took a sick day yesterday. I didn't sleep that great in Dublin and I've been running on fumes. I fly to Florida at ass o'clock in the morning on Sunday, and I have a million things I need to get done before then.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I got a flu shot and a Tdap booster this week and both of my upper arms feel like someone has shoved a softball under the skin. An itchy softball. Stupid healthy immune response.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I didn't get much of a reaction to my flu shot, which almost makes me suspicious.

Lol, I would love to see treadmill good place reactions!!

Am waiting for a friend to get me and hang out with her and her toddler at the park. May be exhausted after that.

I also can't inagine dealing with a toddler AND myself when depressed. But agree sunshine is a good plan that is hopefully relatively simple (not if you're in Seattle in the winter but...and it's been gorgeous here the past week!) was

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm freezing in my office, but generally pretty happy about the chilly and sunny weather we have here today. This is fall in New England! (My pregnant coworker, on the other hand, is just hoping there's no snow in the next four weeks before she's due, because she's not sure she can get boots on....)

I should get a flu shot, but I'm sort of waiting for them to be announced at work?
