I fucking have anxiety. The list would be shorter were I to list what doesn’t make me anxious.
Cats, crocheting, and books are pretty much the only things that don’t make me anxious.
How do you unwind after a demanding day?
After a long day, I take solace in books and yarn. If I’m not reading, or sometimes even when I am, I crochet to relax.

I have my GED. A place to live. A really, really good job. And I have my cat, partner, and a small group of local friends.

If I were stuck with one book to read over and over again, it would be Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy omnibus.
Semantics, but it is a singular volume. Hehe.

I did not get enough sleep last night. I overslept today but was barely late for work. I had to drink a Monster to get through the day, though. Zero Sugar one, of course, but still, caffeine was needed.

If I were to work for free, it would be teaching people to crochet or teaching them to read.
How would you improve your community?
Hooo boy do I have opinions on this. I don’t take this as online community, but rather the material world around me.
Here we go, the cliff notes version:
So. There we go. That’s a starting point.
