Choices and Consequences 

Last night I fell apart pretty hard due in part to several sets of choices I made throughout the day. @literorrery was amazing and sat with me through all the pain and I did come out the other side. It's becoming apparent to me that I have some emotional scarring of my own to heal from and that's gonna take time.

I'm really raw today, so please bear with me if I'm touchy or distant, or if I want excessive amounts of hugs.

Self-Care 

This is leaving me feeling really drained and a little frustrated and tired, but it'll be worth it to cross this crap off of my list and put this project to bed.

Self-Care 

I saw a really good quote about self-care this week. It's not always about getting a massage or throwing a bath bomb in the tub and soaking for hours. Sometimes it's about taking legitimately hard steps to make it so that your life situation is markedly better.

Going to the dentist is self-care. Having an uncomfortable conversation so that it stops constantly bothering you is self-care too. And in my case, pushing and working on a work project on my day off is also a part of self-care.

ECCC is done and I can breathe again. Today I got a lot of headway in on an end of month store project, and got some brainstorming done on some other web work that needs to get underway.

Sunday was a really nice day with my @IceWeasel and a lovely dinner with Mistress @literorrery and the rest of the polycule. I even got to bring some of the risotto she made into work today. Soooo tasty! :9

Well hey, lookit that. Postfurry in a mainstream comic publication. Beautiful!
(Out tomorrow in fine stores everywhere.)

February and Birthdays (-) 

The last few years birthdays and I have had a weird relationship. I think my hesitancy to ask for a little self-indulgence kinda peaks around this month honestly cause there are so many people with birthdays around my own. Em's was a few days ago, mine's next Friday, Ellu & Izzy's are early March. And there are others.

And this year, with all of the everything else going on it just feels inappropriate to event consider asking. Especially considering I work that Friday

The light and green are returning. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, but it is happening.

Hang in there. You can make it through the long dark.

I have to thank a fellow comics peer for pointing out this book in Previews for February. I’m a order so many copies for the store!

A small point of pride 

A quarter of our Modern Magic event tonight is made up of trans/non-binary folks. I’m really happy that’s a thing :)

My story/app You're Gone is out now! makyo.io/youre-gone

You’re Gone is an exploration in grief, told through instant messages to a dead loved one.

Bump, 'cause I'm proud of it!

Why Phoenix is Closed This Morning 

Update to this - Electrician is here and fixing the light now. Once that’s done it’s a simple matter to open. Now comes the fun of documenting the damages and talking to our insurance company.

Why Phoenix is Closed This Morning 

Sometime last night a recurring roof leak we have had in this building caused the collapse of a ceiling tile. On the way down it took out a light fixture, so we can’t currently open. I’ve got all relevant fixes in progress, but it’s going to take time. And until the light is fixed we can’t really open (Cause the light is on the same circuit as our internet and back office stuff).

A Gentle Reminder 

Don’t forget to make time for yourself. This year has swept up on so many of us, and it’s important that we make time for self care. Without that care we cannot be our best selves, only pale imitations struggling through life.

So take a minute to meditate. Go walk on the beach or in a forest glade. Ride a bike or see a movie you love. Replay a favorite video game. The world will still be here when you get back, and you’ll be in a better shape to handle it because you rested.

Goals for Today 

- Wear skirt today! (Done)
- help wüsband as best I can with his Aunt and her needs (in progress)
- do an Unstable draft at the Weyr.
- be cute =n.n=

Dental Work (+) 

IS DONE! I have a follow-up appointment for a routine cleaning in a couple of weeks, but the crown-saga is finished. Thank you to those of you who supported me during all of this. <3

Feeling Dumb (Food) 

*facepalms* and it happened again. I called their customer service line and the delivery driver is going back to the restaurant to pick up the correct order. >.<

Feeling Dumb (Food) 

I decided to order BW3s this evening through grub-hub. An hour ago I put in the order and miss-ordered. I didn't catch the mistake til it got here and now I have wings I can't eat and have had to put in a _second_ order from the same company....which means I am not eating until nearly 9 and I'm @#$%ing hungry.

Maaaaagic (prerelease) 

The prerelease cycle begins. My work day today is 4:30 PM - 4:30 AM. Tomorrow's is 9:30 AM - 11:00 PM.

If I'm a little loopy or slow to respond to things, this is why! @.@

Work Thoughts 

I sent cool kid home today almost 2 hours early cause he wasn’t feeling well. That coupled with beanie’s rather excessive cat-like behavior last week made me realize something a lot of you have been probably shouting at me internally for a while. I’m too averse to confrontation. Maybe it’s cause I don’t like having to be prepared to replace someone.

What I do know is that when I don’t confront them, the behavior gets worse. So maybe I just need to be prepared to be the “bad guy.”

Washington State Politics (sharing requested) 

Those Fuckers are at it again: app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?Bil

I've already sent my comment. Please boost and send your comments to the legislature if you're in WA. We need to kill this shit again.
