Today was A Day. Didn’t sleep well last night at all, discovered mid-commute that my transit card had become inactive for some reason and so I had to buy a new one (it may have been reported as missing/lost/stolen by someone who’s not me??), my mask broke, my coffee order was screwed up (or at the very least tasted horrible, as if they had dumped a ton of artificial sweetener in), and realized I forgot my headphones for plugging into my work computer for joining conference calls (I figured that I could just dial in to the meeting from the phone and then was incredibly confused why I was hearing myself through my laptop and hung up… turns out I could have just muted my computer, but my brain wasn’t firing on all cylinders at this point). Nothing catastrophic and all just little things that are easy to laugh off after the fact, but this morning was just one. thing. after. another. and having a bad coffee order after all that was just the final straw (or should that be “final wooden swizzle-stick”? “final plastic stopper that plugs up the coffee lid”?).

After I texted my ladyfriend to vent (did I tell you I have a new ladyfriend?? I’ll have to tell you more about us some other time), she offered to place a new Starbucks order for me for lunch to try to help make things better. When I went to pick it up I discovered she had added a cake pop to the order as a surprise for me because she figured I needed a pick-me-up. 🥰

After work I had my usual therapist visit. It’s quite nice having seen my therapist for ages since she knows quite a lot about me and what’s gone on in my life over the years, so as I was telling her about some things that I had been thinking recently she cautioned me against looking back with rose-colored glasses. I also mentioned to her about some old blog posts that I had discovered by chance when I was tweaking my site for returning to blogging and she recommended looking back on old entries occasionally to remind myself of how some things Used To Be. That’s a great idea, and ensuring I make myself a usable log of recent developments in my life is another good reason to try to update here regularly.

Anyway, I’ve zonked myself with ZzzQuil to hopefully help myself get a solid night’s rest so time to hit the Submit button before I fade away…
