Many Things, Which (Unfortunately) Feels Like NoThing
Ten things + This Week + More Neon Academia
Hello dear hearts,
I’m currently drinking the last few sips of now cold coffee, listening to A Russian Dr. Panda game playthrough videos curtesy of the Wee One, and bouncing my right leg up and down because I can’t sit still. It could be the second cup of coffee, it could be the anxiety, it could be just because it’s soothing. (Yay stims!)
We are finally (almost) done with August. Y’all, this month dragged. And I feel like I’ve done nothing, yet when I look at my planner, books read, and writing done, it’s a lot. But it’s like it was done in a different timeline that didn’t count?
Anyhoo. Onto the rest.
Ten Things
Now I know what doesn’t work.
Okay, I always forget how much I actually like Virgo season. It’s that “real” shift into autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere. (Even though I will still joke that August is always autumn because they both start with “au”.) Once it hits Virgo season (the 23rd of August) I’m like “oh, right, this is it.”
Still trying to decide what to do with my Wordpress website.
One of these days I will catch up.
Why are applesauce squeezy pouches the best?
Did you know glass top tables are actually the worst and will try to unalive you or at the very least fuck up your kneecap? Who needs the mafia when you have glass tables you can just strategically place around the house?
ASMR videos sound fucking creepy when you aren’t expecting it and all you hear is some tapping. And fingernail sounds. In a room that should be quiet.
Third time is a charm?
Caramel apple flavored coffee. I was skeptical, but damn this is good. Especially with a splash of vanilla creamer too.
Therapy is a week late, but that’s okay.
This Week I
cleaned my camper because Virgo season
kept getting startled when my hair shed and landed on my bare arms, thinking bugs were trying to get me lolsob
consumed much coffee…and then some more
posted a new Behind the Stacks discussion thread about being an artist and fighting our way through boxes
had a doctor appointment that I’ve needed for a while, got a lot of answers, but also more tests
More Neon Academia
Night time bicycle rides to clear your mind, wandering around alleys and finding Wonderland, evening internships that seem borderline masochistic, slipping out of motel rooms to catch your bus back to campus, putting glitter on your dark circles and calling it art.
My obsession grows with Neon Academia. You can’t stop me.
Until next time,
-A
I also detest glass top tables. Hard to keep clean, always worried they're going to break, plus they are very vengeful.
I hate that feeling! When you’ve actually done a lot but somewhere between doing it and realizing you did it, you dissociate and you don’t FEEL like you did anything. Like you did a group project, did all the work, and got no credit ‘cos no one bothered to put your name on the project. That shit is rough, I’m sorry.
I’m feeling the Neon Academia vibes, ALL THE YES. And Autumn is HERE OMG FINALLY. It’s still hot as fuck down here but my husband and I freaked out when we heard what we call “the fall birds”. We know it’s autumn when the first birds we hear in the morning are the ravens. We celebrated by making pumpkin streusel muffins. I think if we all collectively *will* the temp to drop it’ll happen sooner than later. I’m ready to go chant in the forest for it if you are.
