THANKS FACEBOOK for showing me cute pictures of my ex & I from a year ago, that's ~exactly~ what I want to see right now ><

Finally home after exactly 11 hours! I've been working & commuting almost nonstop from 7:40 am to 6:40 pm, just now.

Gonna watch Dark and eat cheezits, probably. Maybe do some healthy introspection, but mostly the former.

I feel a bit better today.

I watched some more of that cool show last night (Dark on Netflix) and must have slept better, because I feel rested today.

My client session yesterday was a little rough, but I'm still proud of myself because I did the best I could despite being under prepared. It can only go up from here!

Also I passed my competency assessment, which means I'm one step closer to becoming a registered behavior technician!

Ftr I'm not anti-tech

I'm just not gonna exchange matching "BFF" necklaces & honeymoon to Seattle with tech

Too much tech on the timeline

Goin' to bed

I haven't connected very well with my newest client yet and I feel a little defeated

Autocorrect: I see you typing "ballet". Did you mean "wallet"?
Me: aghhh fuck off, capitalism!!1

I'm trying to be good to my incredibly exhausted body, so I bought pomegranate yogurt, spinach salad with miso dressing, and and aloe drink.

What's up, fam?

It hasn't even been 24 hours yet and I am already eating again in a trader joe's parking lot. This is my life now.

Boundaries@ work= :ok_hand_hmn_b1:​

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.

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?

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.
