@distelfliege you make it look real good

@KitRedgrave the recently I have gotten better at putting fun/weird/lazy stuff on the todo list. But cross stitching funny things and ironing on patches is still not... taking it easy

@KitRedgrave this this this

@Maenad that is a super fucked up thing to say to someone. And... maybe it’s not her fault but you are allowed to b cranky by association when we’re at the breaking bones level

Also omg y’all I’m so nervous about next weeks team offsite.

@ansate everything is a lot, and the facilitator gave me a certificate of completion with some nice things about me written on it. I came home and read them and cried and didn’t feel like I deserved them, and that is a quick answer to why I still need therapy

Tonight I finished a 10session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group class session thing.
I maybe had a real low point when I was doing that and journaling heavy shit and reading self help books. My therapist told me to lay off the rest until this wrapped up
Big realizations today - I’ve been going every other week, so that’s almost half a year. Integrating what I learned outside the group (aka social anxiety) context is a big thing to do

@Maenad maybe I just had a well laid out kitchen at the last place. But yes, if you will use a basket, a basket you shall have. I accidentally had a hello fresh box and a broken leg at the same time and I was p proud that I managed to cook all three meals

@Maenad offer will totally be open. I was not big on a basket, fwiw. But I would go two blocks to the local pub and have people meet em, and three blocks to the grocery store with a backpack. It just makes such a huge difference in your mobility. Amazon prime powers at the ready! (Whatever one you want. Take this filthy industry money)

@audrey getting mail is very... satisfying? Validating? Dunno but I love it every day and I ordered magazine subscriptions for the kids

@KitRedgrave on the one hand, that’s how capitalism wants you to feel

@sphakos ❤️ counting down to the solstice here

@lauraritchie you are a good human. I hope they have fun

@Angle those uncomfortable reminders that you’re a decent human ❤️

@kara ❤️ one step closer

@Maenad as someone who went through this last year, I will 100% buy you a knee scooter if you let me. Just pass it to someone else or donate once you’re done. I donated mine through my physical therapist

@sphakos excellent

Awake way early, practiced Swedish, lapcat. Deep thoughts about when to go visit other cats vs when new SIM card will come. It’s nice to be... not contemplating anything serious for a few

@kara changing how you present in an attempt to change how you are perceived is kind of a big decision. difficulty level of not having control on the perception side. (sorry for pre coffee philosophy!) ( i mean to say - it is a big uncontrollable deal and legit hard)

@kara ❤️
