Alright, folks, just got back from grocery shopping and, unfortunately, my anxiety is a bit high. Couldn't tell you why, other than my anxiety is always a bit high. Today just feels worse than usual. Maybe I'll try some, I dunno, meditation?

TWO THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (SPECIFIC)

1. I'm grateful for my friend, Nik. He and I trade our phone usage reports every Sunday and encourage each other to spend less time mindlessly scrolling online. We're slowly getting better and I'd like to think the encouragement helps.

2. I'm grateful for Star Trek. Maybe it's silly to be grateful for a show but it is what it is. I think my life is better off with Star Trek in it. Whedon shows might have a lock and key on my formative years but it's definitely soured with age, whereas Star Trek hasn't. Mostly.

ONE THING THAT WENT WELL DURING THE DAY

I sat down and watched a lot of Star Trek: Discovery yesterday and hey, turns out I really liked it. Not that I expected to dislike it, just hadn't gotten around to it because MY GOD THERE IS SO MUCH STAR TREK. Small victories I guess.

ONE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ACTION ITEM FOR THE DAY

Today is another one of those storage unit days. Not excited about it but it must be done. Gotta get all these boxes and bins out of the living room that we share with two other folk. I'm sure the landlord would love an excuse to be mad at us and raise our rent. Again.

WHATEVER IS ON MY MIND

Gods I am anxious. So anxious it's hard to sit my thoughts still long enough for any of them to get traction. It's a bad day in Shane's brain. I feel sick to my stomach and tight in my chest. It kinda sucks, but hey, I'm here. I'm blogging. I'm pushing through and carrying on.

All best,
Shane Zellow
