So! We had a few tornadoes touch down in Tampa Bay today. Flickered the power for a minute. Might have killed the cat fountain from the surge. And the weather was wicked beautiful today. And I got gifted tea. And made my word count goal!

So far today, I’ve been bizarrely non-productive, or at least busy and not doing what I should be? I’m not having a great mental health day. I barely slept last night. I think I read most of a 100k word count fanfic because I couldn’t bloody sleep.

Happiest of gestation escape anniversary to my dearest friend J! May they have an amazing day/wedding anniversary!
I’m dressed as a certain Hobbit gentleman today, though the lack of proper binder just rather makes me feel like a fat chick trying to look like a dude. But I guess I look cute. I get to wear my orange corduroy trousers at least. And The One Ring. So that’s fun.

I resigned from my job today. Cried in my car once I got to Moe’s, then again at Starbucks.
It was necessary, but so, so very stressful for me.

Oh boy. I slept in, after not sleeping last night until my alarm went off at 530 a.m. And after that I finally got some rest. I didn’t get properly out of bed for anything but morning medications and a bathroom break until 2:30 p.m. But I needed the rest. And I’m still exhausted and ready for bed even now.

Yesterday was fun. Got to go see a place I hadn’t seen since summer school of 2002. And the marching band exhibition had some phenomenal performances. It wasn’t too hot, after the sun went down, but it was definitely warm.

I apparently accidentally set an alarm for 4:30 in the morning. And then realized my dreams of my alarm going off at three and four am were likely happening. But I was in the middle of a flashback driven nightmare, so going back to sleep wasn’t an option. As such, I’ve been up since.
