Feeling good so far: I’m working toward my Salesforce Admin cert and I spent the morning learning about some cool reporting functionalities I never used in my past sales roles.

Also finally finished some severely-delayed Spring cleaning: I gathered a bunch of stuff to throw away a few weeks ago, but got sidetracked and left it sitting by the stairs until my brain labeled it “furniture” and forgot it was there even though it was a giant pile of clutter in plain sight. (Does this happen to anyone else??)

I also went to Trader Joe’s and found a unicorn: a tired, unenthused cashier. But right as I was about to say “you really don’t have to give commentary on my purchases, it’s cool” another cashier ran up and complimented my haircut. Darn it, maybe I’ll escape next time. At least I know jaded Trader Joe’s cashiers exist now.

pretty alright! finished my last exam yesterday, and will be needing to find a job for the summer between semesters, so i’ve been a bit stressed and nervous for needing to do that and just the future generally. i have one atm, but i don’t think i’ll be able to get as many hours as i’d like, and tuition isn’t going to pay itself 🙃

You know... Strikes and gutters

It's going well. I just got my degree. I've moved, cat and partner is settling in OK as well (cat currently resting underneath the bush outside the door, partner in the sofa). Starting my new job next week, so now I'm just enjoying the summer, gaming and relaxing.

It is already too much. I am not looking forward to the rest. I am happy alyaza is here to share all the links to keep me from thinking about work too much. Thank you alyaza!

I took next week off from work just because I can and I don't know what I'm going to do. I'd like to make the most of it but I can't decide between doing something really cool and doing nothing at all; both are tempting!

Otherwise, things are going pretty great. I might be able to go full remote at work (which would mean I don't need to quit anymore), and I've prepared a wonderful peach, feta & cucumber salad for lunch.

I started therapy recently and after my session yesterday I felt really similar to how I've felt in the past after unloading a lot of my emotions in a giant cry session. I think that means I've unbottled those emotions in a healthier way this time, which is exciting!

Work is still stressful though, but I'll keep getting by.

Away on holiday and have immediately come down with a stinking cold. Boo! (Still happy for a holiday anyway)

Beelated, you mean ;) but in all seriousness just let me know if you need any help

Trying to find a new place before my lease expires next month. Also trying to find a better job. So altogether, I'm doing.

I’m existing been stressing cause work project is wrapping up. I need a vacation.

It's going okay so far, but my area is forecast to have highs in the 100s later this week and I'm not sure how that's gonna affect me, since I only really know how to dress in layers for work (I'm a trans woman working an office IT job where I do occasionally step outside or carry computers from one bldg to another)

Like, I'm gonna be wearing a thin cardigan over a tank top and I know I'm gonna sweat. Oh, and my hair instantly goes frizzy when I sweat. I'm dreading it.

It's OK, although not very good.

For one, I now suffers from sleep OCD. Every time I put my head into the pillow, I always have the feeling that I slept just slightly out of the middle of the pillow, even though I clearly don't.

This happens to other things, too. I kept changing the fan, the sleep position, the blanket, over and over again. And I think it's a main reason why I can't sleep well in the past couple of days. I have a really good sleep yesterday tho.

I also, temporarily, develop a fear for sleep. I don't know if this comes from me watching too much creepy TV IDs, or that one thought about a TV sign-off that is straight up horror movie to terrify the children, but whenever I sleep, I feel a sense of danger, like something is gonna come out of nowhere and devour me.

I don't know what it is. I just know it is something terrifying.

Anyways, in the past week I have been focusing more on my social media presence. I don't know why but I seem to focus more on how's my account doing, how's my art doing, etc.

My week is going well.

I was planning to attend the local pride parade and festival yesterday, but didn't go due to sheer laziness lol. So I got stoned and watched YouTube with my boyfriend instead.

Speaking of my boyfriend, three of his Horror Bishoujo figurines came in the mail from Japan today (Chucky, Freddy Krueger, and Edward Scissorhands). He's excited to put them up and I'm happy for him.

Hello! Playing Tears of the Kingdom more this week, just hit 150hrs. Also bee-n playing BattleBit on Steam so that's been fun.

Take a nap!

My sleeping schedule is bananas. I decided to just give up, and I've been slowly going to sleep at later and later times. Currently my bed time is ~5pm. A month ago it was ~4am. :s

pretty well so far i had some great news i heard so yay

i’m on my third day of a sore throat. doc confirmed it’s not strep, and i do seem to be slowly recovering, but ugh being sick sucks.

@alyaza It's going.

That's actually better than most weeks prior.

Got a job offer for basically my same job +25% pay. Hoping my current place is willing to negotiate a match though because going to a bigger company would also give me less freedom to work on what I want.

Waiting to call my boss this afternoon.

It's stressful, to say the least.

Pretty good. I passed my licensure exam on the first try and I'm the only person I know who did that AND took the test that others avoid. I honestly just wanted my life back whether I passed or not. I studied (or thought about studying) basically every damn day for the past month or so. FREEDOM!!!

Spent a couple days with my partner which was awesome but I'm coming down with a stomach bug so that's lame. Just learning Rust in bed.
