Four calling birds

Shawshank, December 4, 2023

Morning all. It’s been a morning already. I was fast asleep, until 6am. Then I was awake. Awake and very tossy turny. I couldn’t get comfortable, and then I was too hot, or too cold. Then I started to get anxious. My mind said, you’ve been doing so well at work, what if it was a fluke, and you really suck ass there. You’re stupid, and sooner or later, they’re gonna figure it out. So here’s some anxiety for you to try and deal with. Have fun, idiot. You deserve this.

So needless to say, yeah. Tough morning so far. But I’m up, dressed, and the coffee has been brewed. I already have Chaucer on my lap. I’m trying to discretely do some deep breathing and just trying to calm down. I mean, it’s not too bad, but it’s been a while since I had a panic attack. I didn’t even have one before I started the new job. Why the hell did it pop up this morning?

Nevermind, it’ll pass. Hopefully quickly. But it’ll pass.

Yesterday was a nice relaxing day. I took care of the chores first thing. I thought I’d have 3 loads of laundry, but I managed to get it into two. Which is nice. The sweaters are hanging over the doors to dry. As the laundry was going, I made brunch. It turned out pretty good, except for the fact that I dropped one of Crystal’s waffles, and it broke in half, but she said that was ok. She’s a trooper for sure.

We went over to Shady Acres for dinner, and that was good. It’s relaxing over there. Mom made some beef stroganoff, and it was very good, minus the mushrooms.

After there, we came back to the Flat, and relaxed some more before heading to bed. It feels warmer out there, which explains why I felt a lot warmer this morning, than yesterday or the day before.

So happy Monday y’all. It should get better as the day goes on. Let’s get the week started!

    And I just remembered that I forgot to pay rent on the first. Just paid it, but more anxiety now, great.
