I feel cramped. Cramped in my body (and my clothes) because I've been eating poorly in general and the weekend of trail mix, cheese, and vegetables really packed on the sodium bloat. Cramped in my physical space because there isn't a bare counter or shelf in the entire house and everywhere I look, there's just stuff piled on stuff. Cramped in my personal life because I haven't had two consecutive free weekends at home left to my own devices since, um...May?
I feel like everything is pushing on me from all sides: Mental, physical, emotional. Just thinking about it makes my upper lip start to sweat. Or maybe that's because my office is nearly eighty degrees.
Yesterday, my default icon changed to something I've never even uploaded. A sorta anime-looking dude, holding his head with the worlds HOLY SHIT! framing his face. Weird. It was still there this morning, so I deleted the icon and reloaded my default. Probably someone from Pinckneyville messin' with me.
