It's 8 pm here. I need to wake up at 6:30 am tomorrow morning. I already brushed my teeth, and I'm getting over a cold. Do I:

A. Go to bed now, hopefully sleep through the night and not get low blood sugar because I had dinner so early, or

B. Have some more food, stay up until 10ish.

@erinbee @gamehawk

Ah, I skimmed over the "middle-aged" part. Point taken.

@ruth

I did one tiny thing (move the toys I'm returning to the office tomorrow to a single bag). But I have to lie down for a bit before I do anything else. I only had one client session today, but I'm still a little sick.

@ruth oof you make too much sense. But tonight-me is tired!

@erinbee @gamehawk

Well and it depends, is the normcore intentional? Because that's actually high-level hipsterdom

@erinbee @gamehawk

Yes! Also, Folsom, CA. Just a lot of right wing blonde soccer mom's. @raccoon agree?

@dani

Baphomet is pretty cool, all things considered

@gamehawk

Also this one had a middle-aged goth woman shopping in it, which I feel like counts towards some quota.

@gamehawk

Sacramento

This time it's the Rockridge TJ's, which is just overflowing with hipsters

This is not the first nor likely the last time I will eat dinner in a trader joes parking lot.

& like one solution is "okay, just hurry up and get your master's degree, Sparrow."

But:

a) That isn't really a solution that guarantees me a job, and if it's the only solution, it's inaccessible to many other Americans.

and

b) My mental health is not yet ready for me to go back to school. I became a shell of a person last time I was in school, and I'm just not yet good enough at self care to do grad school. Yes, eventually, but not yet.

Oh no I'm on hold and I have to pee

They will DEFINITELY pick up when I am on the toilet, so I guess I'll use that like a summoning spell

Wow, where can I move where a psychology worker like myself can afford a basic standard of living?

@munsi@vcity.network @guerrillarain@witches.town

WHERE DO YOU LIVE AND CAN I REASONABLY MOVE THERE??

My healthcare situation is an absolute nightmare. Being type 1 diabetic shouldn't be this expensive.

@alyx@witches.town

Totally! And annoying though it is, once I'm actually receiving healthcare I'll end up saving ~ $200/month on meds, which is... really big.

Sooo much soft jaaazzzzzz

Still on hold. All I need to do is update my address!

And thennn I get to change plans, and get a doctor. But one thing at a time, I guess.

@transcendentalConsensus@occult.camp @ruth

I'm watching/imitating youtube videos. I have a few friends who also want to learn, so we may meet up eventually and practice.

@ruth I'm practicing ASL :D
