Wednesday Update

Thirteen more days in my office before Departure Time. I'm taking a day off next week and then three days mid-May to visit my parents so I can use the vacation time I won't be reimbursed for.

My appetite is still near-zero. If it had started (or worsened) after the layoff news I'd be concerned but as it is it's just kinda...convenient? I'm still eating regularly, three meals a day, but it's weird to not be consumed (ha) with thoughts of food 90% of the time. No cravings, either. I was going to make some consolation cookies over the weekend but wasn't sufficiently motivated to make them even though I had plenty of energy. WEIRD. Maybe my gut biome is finally achieving some equilibrium?

I feel like a lot of my life is one big emoji shrug right now and I'm so incredibly grateful that I'm in a position where I'm not freaking the fuck out about that.

My dude [personal profile] mckitterick is watching Guardian with me and enjoying it! This is a personal win that I can't articulate. It's so amazing to watch this with someone in person who likes the show itself and understands why it's so overwhelmingly My Thing. We're on episode 27. I also might've roped in another one of my graduate students (who just finished her MFA so might have time to watch it now).

I'm glad you're hanging in there okay - emoji shrug useful!

And yay, getting your partner into Guardian must be so much fun for a rewatch!!
