My therapist and I have cobbled together a plan to help me try to chill out and not feel like I'm constantly living in crisis mode, in the face of this dystopian hellscape plus what is quite frankly C-PTSD (yayfun). That includes meditating every day, keeping a gratitude journal, and taking a restorative yin yoga class once a week. Today is my first yoga class, and, as is typical for me, I'm stressing out over finding parking because they don't have a lot. I feel like if you stress out about parking for yoga, then you definitely need yoga to help you chill the fuck out. Namaste, bitches.

Namaste, bitches.

I'm glad you and your therapist have a plan. It's good to have a plan.

I do understand your parking thing, I must say. May yoga be restorative with a perfect space waitng just for you.

Having dinner with the Birthday Four tonight IN VIRGINIA for once (we usually meet in DC), and I am beyond excited not to have to slog downtown in The Traffic.

Really what I would like is a nap. I drank iced coffee late yesterday afternoon and was up until 3:30a (yes, I know I just had an object lesson from... Brenda? Thai coffee in the afternoon is a non-restful idea. I meant to order decaf and just spaced). Ah, well.

askye, hope you and M are doing OK

Same to everyone, actually.

Yeah, that sounds right. I hope your plan goes well for you, it sounds good from here!

I'm headed out -- wish me parking!

Hahah that was me, though I believe Brenda concurred.

My job yesterday had some but not all of us change our email domain. Eventually everyone will, so we had to restart computers and relogin to things and so on. Lots of people having issues with those bits. I have not…but we were promised our old emails would be forwarded to our new ones indefinitely. But I am not getting any of them. So who knows what people are writing/asking/telling me?? Super frustrating. And some of my team members don’t make the change until April.

Okay, I could maybe chill a little more. I parked on the street literally across from the front door of the studio. So, I guess, wish me bendiness!

Parking for yoga requires flexibility.

Always nice when the parking gods smile upon you

I hope you’re feeling better, askye.

Namaste, bitches.

Damn right.

I got an adult coloring book at my work retreat and ordered some cheap colored pencils. I’m hoping this will be some level of stress relief, because Xanax will entail getting a new doctor and I don’t have the spoons.
