I’m feeling sad tonight. I don’t quite know why. I feel like some things have slipped through my fingers, lately.
Maybe I’m working too much overtime and I’m just burnt out?

I didn’t get home until after six this evening. Mr. Spock was quite upset at the lateness of his dinner. But if I want to catch up, as well as knock out the forty-five minute training as I did, staying late is a necessity.
I also have to go in by seven-thirty tomorrow morning. So I’m for bed here shortly.
I’m too burnt out to read. I wanted to get another chapter of The Talented Mr. Ripley read this evening, but my brain was having none of it.
And as for crafting? My hands hurt too much to crochet further. I’m gonna do one of the aftercare things Reffie taught me for my hands and take some anti-inflammatory meds.
So I guess that’s it. I’m going to bed and praying the weekend comes quickly.
Take your meds, folks.

3 Soft Tacos Eaten
I’m exhausted so I’ll make this brief: I’m up visiting J and Bill6 for the weekend. We had Taco Bell for dinner because pizza didn’t work out. That’s okay.
I’m going to try and finance my move back to Chicago with my art. We’ll see how well I do.
Take your meds, folks.

Let me start off with the positive: thanks to the kindness of certain people, I am able to buy cat food and groceries. And the date with Cleo went well, though I learned that Taco Bus’ chairs are fantastically uncomfortable.
