Xander ,'Empty Places'
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.
If I didn't have you guys I think I would die.
I have so many queer, bi, transgendered, etc. among my family and friends.
I am also old. 69 in December, and I don't think the future is bright for old maids with or without cats. I am keeping myself numb with Prozac and Xanax, just to do my job,and still working full time because I do not have a retirement cushion.
When we figure out our actual closing date, I may start a "number of days until I get out of Texas" countdown.
I do not understand the states that vote down the abortion bans and then voted for him. I DO NOT GET IT.
I hate everything. I ate dinner, but I feel sick.
Unrelatedly Mac got sick today after I was home to get him lunch, so that was waiting for me to deal with and he also had a mishap getting from crutches to toilet in time, so there was pee all over the bathroom floor.
Poor Mac, been there! I hope you both have better days tomorrow.
I hope we all have better days tomorrow. I didn't sleep well last night, so after reading some delightfully pleasant Miss Percy's dragon adventures, I hope to sleep tonight and maybe be somewhat more functional tomorrow.
I had a lousy night of not mostly sleep. I was good and only read a book on paper with soothing music so avoided ramping up my anxiety with doomscrolling or screen time, but still.
Morning, all. I actually slept well, thank God and little fishies. I feel more emotionally stable today, but I can tell That Guy is going to be my Unpleasant Intrusive Thought for a while. That happened back in 2016 too.
...which reminds me, I got my passport back in 2017 or so, I should look into getting that renewed. Hang in there everyone.
I don't know if I feel worse than 2016, or 2000 for that matter. I think the stakes are higher because of the power and influence behind the scenes. He is so easily manipulated. The courts, Ukraine, NATO, and all the people at risk. The numbness is there for sure. I'm not able to watch the news yet.
I do have to get it together and focus on what I have control over, but it hasn't happened yet.
Poor Skinner still wants nothing to do with food.
That Guy is going to be my Unpleasant Intrusive Thought for a while.
Oh god that is so accurate.
Tuesday night was giving me 2000 flashbacks.
Pretty much in a fog ever since, focusing on work with blinders on. It's my mom's birthday today, my sister is coming down for it, hopefully we will not all be bumming each other out the whole time but even that might be kind of nice if it's what happens

If people are not engaged politically, I can see them not wanting an abortion ban and then not voting for the party that they blame for the cost of groceries.
