wanted to make a Widow’s Bay stamp collection bc this show is Perfect ⚓️👻

My anxiety has been through the roof all weekend, and I can't pinpoint a specific root cause of it beyond just everything always happens so much, which is very frustrating!

I think it's probably a mix of several different things, all of which are out of my control, so I guess I just have to keep reminding myself of that and doing a bunch of deep breathing until this passes.

#misc: about me #i keep going through phases where i'll feel totally fine and then out of nowhere i'll be incredibly anxious about a bunch of things #for like 30 minutes and then it'll pass and i'll feel totally fine again #which is super annoying because i know logically that i'm not in danger and worrying over things is not productive or helpful #and yet here we are having periodic anxiety attacks over nothing #i know it will pass but in the meantime my stomach hurts

#sometimes this is still how it goes #sometimes it's your dad in the car in front of you and he decides to cut across 4 lanes of Chicago traffic unexpectedly #during rush hour when you've never driven by yourself in Chicago before #and your sister riding shotgun has to frantically call your mom to figure out where the hell he's going because you don't have a map up #and this happened like 2 weeks ago #sometimes

Omg one of my fencing coaches sent me a weirdly serious Instagram message yesterday saying that he wanted to discuss "a topic" with me, and I was like what on earth?

But it turns out he's opening his own club in September and he wants to recruit me as a coach 😂 which is insane on many levels, but I'm also kind of relieved because I half expected him to declare that he was in love with me or something and then I'd have to stop going to fencing altogether.

#misc: about me #I will obviously not say anything to anyone at the fencing club where he currently coaches!!#I did tell him I just got promoted at work and don't know what my time is going to look like for the next couple of months #while I settle into that #but also just in general I'm not really interested in a part time job on top of my regular job #and he said it would only be a couple of days a week but I also definitely think the work would ultimately end up being more than that #he also asked if I could help with marketing because English is his second language and like I can already see that also building to more #🤺🤺🤺#fencing #this post will self destruct

They officially announced my promotion to everyone at the library yesterday, which means I've been fielding a million Teams messages congratulating me, which is very nice! But I haven't actually checked in with my new team at all to say hi yet, which feels weird!

We're in the same building, I just need to pop down to their space and be like "hi, really looking forward to joining the team next month!" But it feels so awkward for some reason.

#I know all the people on my new team but only a very little bit #they're a very small and tight department and don't tend to socialize with the rest of us very often #so it feels weird to intrude on their space even though it will be my space soon too!#misc: about me #this is not an actual problem I know but I don't want to start off on the wrong foot

In contrast, I have been reading The Power Broker since June 5th and just started part 4 of it, and literally have a physical copy at home and checked a copy out on Libby too so I could read it on-the-go without having to tote the giant print copy along with me, and have been just reading a few paragraphs at a time whenever I have a moment because it's very compelling.

#misc: about me #currently reading #the power broker #Robert Caro #look I know people love this book and I get it #for a 1200 page nonfiction book about a guy I've never heard of I sure can't get enough of it #very readable #I'm also listening to the 99% invisible podcast as I go which is fun because it gives me little mini-goals within the larger book #I'm reading on my Kindle on the go and in my browser at work and in the physical copy at home #I almost never do multiple formats for one book

I have been reading Mansfield Park for approximately a million years at this point (or since May 13), and I don't know why it's taking me so long!!

I'm enjoying it fine, I like Fanny as a character (her stubbornness is very endearing to me), but literally nothing is happening in it and I am just not compelled to pick it up to see what happens next.

#misc: about me #currently reading #Mansfield Park #jane austen #I do like it when I'm reading it #but as soon as I put it down I kind of forget it exists and I don't touch it again for weeks #Maria and Henry Crawford just caused a scandal in London #I assume Fanny will be returning to Mansfield very soon now and everything will resolve happily

Limmy deleted best tweet of all time I'm so mad

the kids are calling them "stone fruits." they start off small—think cherries. then they're hooked and they need a quick fix, they get peaches, maybe some nectarines. it's all they can think about. before you know it, they're trying the really hard stuff—apricots, plums. once they taste a mango there's no going back.

#whispering in the tags as is a time honored tradition around here #i got the promotion I applied for and will take over managing our center for local history in August #which is very exciting! when i started my current position I was eyeing CLH has my next potential career move #but i honestly wasn't really expecting to get it?#and i'm very worried because there are a lot of eyes on clh right now and a lot of very high expectations for the person who gets the job #which is now me!#so i'm nervous that i won't be able to do enough in my first year and they'll demote me or something #which i know is unlikely but still!#anyway #misc: about me #more to come i suppose

you gotta read, you gotta write, you gotta draw, you gotta watch films and shows. there is literally NO time to be employed

I bought some cold medicine today and I went through the self-check, but for some reason the machine didn't register that the medicine was age locked until like 5 items later and it ended up going "age verification needed" after I scanned a single lime. So I guess you gotta be 18+ to buy limes these days.

#misc: about me #the staff guy did look kind of confused when he saw me holding a lime with the age verification screen up #but he rolled with it #this is a post about nothing
