Oki, I'm settled in. I hope a double post is okay.
This is a big week for me. I'm taking my daughters to their grandmother for the month and then wheeling around to go to my hometown. I'll be seeing my brother and doing some groundwork for an upcoming move. But what's bigger on my mind is that I've made an amazing friend within the past year and by weird stroke of fate, they happen to be from my hometown (it's a pretty big city) - so I'll get to meet them in person. Very very excised, but also mega anxious because how people interact IRL vs online can be vastly different... plus I've been something of a social shutin for the past decade (other than the friends I've made online within the past year - who are all online), so I'm kinda worried I'll misstep when online becomes reality. Can't do anything but be myself, ig. I'm excited either way.
This strip is also a big chance for me to get away from my husband, who I've been on increasingly bad terms with. Afterwards, we're gonna try to fix some things.
Might talk about that later in the thread (don't want to flood the thread with my life) - been kind of a meditation of my madness recently.

The stuff that's gotta be done has to be done. Find little ways to reward yourself throughout the day and take breaks as needed. (I've learned to generally stay on my feet, even when taking breaks, to avoid a break turning into a wasted day). Things start to feel better as you pull the big things together - small self rewards in the meantime help to actually get there.

Persona is great! I need to actually sit down and work through the P3 remaster - I loved the original when I was a kid. Which one are you working on?

Och, that's rough, nona. Are you a teacher? I hope wherever you transfer next is even better for you. Being a teacher can be rough, especially while you're still gathering experience. I'm about to be between jobs myself, currently building my linkedin profile and resume...
