strixalbaHere’s some life updates brought to you by overtiredness:
from Tumblr https://ift.tt/2LyCfuR
- I am back from all the family vacations at last, and I need to document here for myself that going on two family vacations back to back in August is still a bad idea, I should not do for a third time next year
- Relatedly, I am super jetlagged and consequently anxious right now
- I’ve been away for so much of August, and most of my friends have been busy and/or moving house, so I haven’t seen anyone as much as I would like, which is understandable but upsetting
- M and I both started dating someone new at the beginning of June, and it’s really good so far and I’m trying (and somewhat failing tbh) not to be too hopeful about it
- It is also occasionally bringing up weird residual feelings from Codependent High School Ex that I didn’t realize were still a thing, so that’s been a fun journey
- New SO (T) is due to start work in a week or two at a business where Housemate A is a manager; I think I’m the only one who finds this dynamic to be a little bizarre, and as it’s not really my business, I’m just chugging along
- My mom made a couple of comments at dinner last week about how M and I are “waiting to get married” and my instinctive reaction was fuck you, who says we’re getting married at all? (We will, probably. It’s less a question of ‘waiting’ and more that the main reason to have a wedding would be as an excuse to gather together all our friends from across the Americas, and you can’t host that kind of get-together while living paycheck-to-paycheck.
- It is time to go through my nonessential possessions and downsize because I do not need ALL of these craft supplies but I do need less clutter in my bedroom of limited storage space
- I think I’m going to change my middle name to [Unpronounceable-looking Irish Saint Name] next time I have to renew my driver’s license or passport because I want it to be a Legitimate form of address that I can use
- The past few months have felt like a transitional/liminal period and I think the next couple will also be liminal
- It’s not bad but it’s tiring
- I hope to be finished by January or so
- I’ve taken up embroidery and I’ve become a little obsessed with embroidering plants; once I’ve finished a few more decent-looking ones I’ll post them on tumblr (and on twitter, and anywhere else I can get people to admire and give feedback…)
