Well, here we are. Nairobi overall fell under the category of “not a disaster” but between the jet lag, the inevitable post-trip gastro thing, a badly timed med increase, and my rapidly decreasing supply of fucks to give, I’m just… not doing great.

Finishing up here in NBO and it was not an easy week, but I don’t think it was a disaster week like my last trip. Partly, I just planned to take breaks during the day and that made a huge fucking difference.

My week has just been brutal. Up first: Thought I was in permanent menopause (chemo does this), I wasn't! Surprise! Now I'm having a period so brutal I actually dragged myself to the doctor today. I cannot emphasize how godforsakenly tired I am.

Not doing great over here, honestly. I’m not sure what’s wrong with me; today I’ve just felt nauseous and anxious and I cannot get out of my head. Yesterday I could at least get outside; today it was snowing and dark and I’m tired.

It’s been an awful week at work. I genuinely don’t think I’ve felt worse at my job since 2014, right before I got let go because my boss didn’t like me and wanted to hire his buddy from the board.

Re my last repost - that lawsuit turns my stomach because I knew the person suing the journalist in undergrad, and reached out when this happened to offer some support. I thought the conversation around what she said was unfair in some ways.

It’s just been such a shitty two weeks. I can’t help myself from running it all in my head over and over, like that will actually help me deal with it or prepare for the next thing. Which it won’t, but. I’m so tired.

I can answer this. I interviewed Peterson's tailor a few years ago, although the interview was never published because I fell behind on work. Here is the story of this suit. 🧵

God, I feel awful. I’ve been working so hard and this thing today hit me like a fucking truck. I keep trying to go over it in my head, except honestly I was in such a panic mode that I barely remember half of it.

Super fun to get through last week, recover physically and somewhat mentally, and then get ambushed with a meeting (titled “(No title)” and sent two hours ahead of the meeting) where two senior managers chastised me for being disrespectful for raising issues I genuinely thought were important.

I survived the week. It was… not the best week. I’m still in a lot of pain, which is a new thing - I didn’t do anything more physically strenuous than walking a lot and dealing with luggage a couple times, but my hands and wrists hurt really badly, and not just the tendinitis on the right.

I’m in Ottawa for a week of in person meetings and I am… wrecked. It’s just the perfect confluence of a million things that feel (but aren’t) designed specifically to make me fail.

My dad finally called me tonight, six days after this all started. He pretty much spent the entire call lying to me, trying to get his story out.

I got a call this week from a woman who works with my dad. Has been friends with him since law school. She couldn’t get ahold of him, even though there were client emails he would want to reply to. Couldn’t get through on his cell.
