Five Things

1.  Not dead. This is not proof, so you'll just have to trust me on this.
2. The calm "vacation" feeling has expired. Of course it has; I haven't been away from a rock pile this long since last millenium. That's right, my crap jobs never allowed me to take more than a week of time off. {insert bitter/snide comment about being American}
3. My mood is generally very good nevertheless. I'm exercising daily (thank you Pokemon Go obsession) and writing daily (thank you NaNoWriMo). My dontwanna To Do list is kind of long, though. My wanna To Do list is also long.
4. That former coworker R also quit (this week) actually helps. My low-key crazy right now is feeling like I have jobless cooties. There probs actually isn't a big cloud of judgment looming at me. I deal with it by reminding myself that I haven't asked anyone for anything, and that includes inviting friends to hang out.
5. I forgot until just now to apologize to coffeedaiv for scoffing at his comment about deer in Seattle. There is, in fact, a buck wandering around West Seattle that was first seen in the north end. The West Seattle sightings are numerous... and literally on my block. (Sorry, Daiv!)
