I did my first Story Time today! I was so nervous but one of my tiny regulars hugged me afterwards. That's why I'm here, doing this. Small friend, thank you for the confidence boost.

I am a good librarian. Even when it's hard. Even when I make mistakes. I'm doing my best, and I'm *helping* people. Damn it. I am a good librarian.

I somehow completely forgot that I'm actually very good at project management.

I need to be asleep right now, but I went to karaoke tonight and then I started watching Disney's Hercules, which is Superman circa Ancient Greece, a Hero's Journey, tried and true.
Then I decided I definitely needed to watch Tangled, too. Because why not?

New job, new insurance. It doesn't cover my #ADHD medication, not even the generic.
I've been on it for SIX YEARS. I tried to check on this before I changed jobs but nobody could give me a straight answer.
I'm so tired of trying to prove to nameless corporations that I deserve to not suffer.

I hate that I still care about this, even though I've decided not to participate this year.
The #nanowrimo participant badge is finally up, along with a writer certificate. You know, two days before the event starts. nanowrimo.org/national-nov...

I had an anxiety attack in Publix tonight and the manager just gave me my sandwich for free and I'm like... "how dare you be nice to me after I just started crying uncontrollably in your store"!

My dad pointed out that in the last month, we had two hurricanes, two new jobs, and a close family member going through a bitter divorce.
Like... oh. Yeah. That might contribute a bit to everything feeling like it's too much.

Welp. I did it. I just bought a dozen Piper and Ivy book shirts to replace all the #nanowrimo shirts in my wardrobe that I'm not comfortable with anymore.
...now to find new pants.

Sweet blessed spouse, I like you but GO AWAY.
There have been TOO MANY changes and I am having a dumb FEELING and I don't want gentle pats. RAGE and ANGER. I need to have a MAD.

I walked into a spiderweb today in the park. My phobia of bugs, PARTICULARLY spiders is well known and I'm freaking ooooout.
My naturalist friend rushes over to free me and I'm screaming and carrying on.
"Don't hurt the spider, okay? I hate them so much but I walked on their space. GET IT OFF."

My mother, at her birthday dinner last week: "Everyone here has been divorced at least once. We've all had to learn from those starter marriages."
*stares at me and my spouse*
"Except for those two. They're perfect for each other and I have no idea how they did that."

Birdhouse in Your Soul came on the radio tonight. I, naturally, turn the volume up and start singing along.
Spouse has NEVER heard this song before.
