Start Anew, Baby Blue

The journey is just beginning. Your chance to live is right before you. So put it down on paper. Sing it out loud. Lock yourself in your room. And come out as beautiful as you are. They're whispering. And you cannot win as long as you're listening. --Brandston And still, I have my weaknesses; and still, I have my strengths. I am a work in progress, and despite my own objections, I am never boring.

Stop Killing Amy Acker, Please.

She didn't die in Agents of SHIELD. That's a start, right?

If it can't be the Kings, who's your second choice for the Cup? My own beloved Flyers are having a rough time of it too.

Well, you’re not gonna like it, but my hockey mistress is the Capitals.

In which Wil Wheaton gets a whole lot cooler (if that's even possible).

I finished the thing! Some of the colors are super light but I swear they're there. (Also that was a FUCKTON of grass to color!)

I thought this would be an adequate way to relieve stress. Instead I find my perfectionist tendencies kicking in because I WILL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF IF I SCREW UP ONE LITTLE LEAF.

Crayola? That’s what I’ve used on mine but they shoot me, I want to use better pencils or pens

No, "Artist's Loft" or whatever the generic brand I picked up at Michael's are. They're not too bad; it's more the rampant "DO NOT SCREW UP DO NOT SCREW THIS UP OR THE WHOLE COLORING BOOK WILL BE RUINED FOREVER" thoughts. Although Crayolas do tend to have a richer tone to their colors, if I can find a huge pack I might try those on my next endeavour.

(Also hi, my name is Ashley and I've pulled a 12 hour overnight shift on three hours of sleep LIKE A BAWSE.)

So I did a thing at work. And then I got to talk about the thing to the news. (The mom was a rock star. I just offered assistance and support until EMS got there.)

Sometimes going to work means never going home. Be safe.

True panic is hearing "I'VE BEEN HIT" screamed across your headset. Every one of these pictures is but one of the worst fears I face every night when I sit down & take a radio.

Um.

Yep.

[vtdispatcher51]

I saw the on Facebook, and thought I would share it here. I know that to some degree, I experience several of these.

[adventures-in-dispatch]

All of these. Every single damn one.

[stars-stand-still]

Check, check, check all the way down the list.

And still my "friends" and family get pissed when I choose to stay in and self-care on my days off.

In December.

RIP my sinuses.
