I ALSO stared resentfully at the dishes last night and this morning. But then I didn’t do them, just thought “my weekend will be so busy I need to do them before that but I don’t wanna!” And put it off some more.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Good Scan -ma, Epic!
I've learned to trick myself into the loading the dishwasher by saying to myself, "Okay, I'll just load the coffee cups" because that's not only easy but somewhat pleasing to see them all lined up in the racks. That's usually enough to get me going.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I thought it would. I have a friend whose husband has lupus (sometimes it IS lupus) so I thought it might help him.
In other thoughts, this speaks to me. Building management is checking my heat, smoke detectors, etc., so I was up early moving stuff so they could get to them.

My Tumblr inbox had an anon message this morning from an ER doctor: they had someone come in suffering delusions due to a psychotic episode. She said she needed a distraction to keep her from wanting to claw off her skin. She was a goth, so the ER doctor googled, found the Gothic Charm School site, and the patient read it while they waited for the anti-anxiety meds to kick in.
The doctor went on to say "I just want you to know you helped save her life. You were there for her in one of the worst times she'd ever had. And I really appreciate that."
This is not the first message or email I've gotten where someone tells me I helped save their life. I am ALWAYS astonished (and a little freaked out) because I never think of what I do (or did, as GCS is on hiatus) as that ... life changing for folks, I guess.
So I started off my day with coffee and having a little cry.

Wow. How nice of them to message you.

Thanks everyone! It's cold, windy and rainy today in NYC. Meh.
Holy cow, Atropa, that's amazing.
