I'll probably finish up the residual WIR on Monday. I checked it off my to-do list, so now it only counts as journalling on my to-do's and it's not exactly my top priority. I've been totally swamped this whole last week helping Katie do GISHWHES or whatever acronym it is. It's a weird, very large scavenger hunt that I was not initially going to have anything to do with, but I'm on the team now, so whatever. It is fun, but it's stressful. Katie's basically running 18 hour days, I'm doing the housework and trying to keep up, and I've written some of the copy and scripts for our team. Some of it is stuff I'm actually pretty proud of, and the team is generally busting their ass.
Different things get you different points, and there's absolutely no way to know your standing until it's through. I'll post what we ended up completing when it ends on Sunday. You might get a chuckle out of it.
I've been trying diligently to keep a lid on my anxiety, which is threatening to break the door down and eat my lunch, which means a lot of angst-ridden personal journal entries about me feeling bad for literally no reason, a tremendous amount of tea, and being surprisingly anxious to go to work to give myself something physical to do. I've written my letters and mailed them out. I'm chipping away at my slowly growing HabitRPG to-do list in general, which grows by dint of need and which I make flailing, occasionally successful attempts to resolve daily. I feel like I regret everything I say to people, and comb my own speech for evidence of failures and over-reaching personal space; I really have to fight the urge to basically completely turtle up, lock the door, and avoid contact on even the most marginal terms. That's kind of what stress does to me.
All that aside, the weather is really nice right now and has been for the last few days. Remember, I'm just venting and I'm actually just fine. I'm getting by okay, and all of the objective things are looking alright, so I'm looking to those things for my guidance on where I'm at. Perspective is an odd thing - you can feel like you'll never finish something and suddenly it's done.
I've also really been enjoying writing the daily horoscopes I've been posting on tumblr and Facebook. I was surprised when a lot of my friends didn't realize I was actually the one penning those. I haven't been posting them here because I don't want to spam everyone's wall with daily Thanatos like that (it doesn't really seem like the proper venue), but they've gone over well and that makes me feel surprisingly good about myself. A few people have mentioned it to me, and yeah, they have totally been inspired by the Welcome to Night Vale podcasts. Actually, everyone who reads my journal is a good candidate for someone who would enjoy that particular bi-weekly podcast, so I'll end this post with a suggestion to go check it out!
