Hey, look, another day of heightened anxiety. How about that. Couldn't tell you why though. To my knowledge, nothing in particular happened to elevate my anxiety levels. Yet here we are. It's not even specific enough for me to tackle it with one of my therapy techniques. Humbug.
TWO THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (SPECIFIC)
1. I am grateful ... hmmn, I am grateful for a sense of caution with which I move through the world. Caution being a different thing from anxiety. I had two friends share with me content that a quick bit of looking revealed to have a substantive grift element.
2. I am grateful, building off #1, for some of the therapy tools I've picked up that help me navigate what to do in situations like that one. I'm not here to yuck anybody's yum, y'know? I try to be sensitive, and I certainly didn't come out the door swinging with the word "Grift". Concerns and compassion.
ONE THING THAT WENT WELL DURING THE DAY
What even happened yesterday? I got a message from the landlords that they want to do a room inspection (remember I am in my 30s so this feels fucking weird). That's not the good thing. The good thing is the motivation it gave me to do some cleaning and reorganizing I'd been putting off.
ONE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ACTION ITEM FOR THE DAY
I would like to see if the university print shop is open. Might not be but it occurred to me that my short story, "The Body Cosmic"? I never printed it off. I'd like to rectify that. I'm really very proud of the story, even though I have no idea where to take it now to get published.
WHATEVER IS ON MY MIND
Woof, y'know, ... I can't say I have a lot on my mind today. I'm just tired and I don't know how many spoons I have in me to write today. I intend to get at least something done but getting that initial momentum is proving difficult
