Hello, friends. I’m back in Seattle. My laptop is fuuuuucked and it will be visiting Apple’s Genius Bar tomorrow. I don’t think it takes a genius to tell me that my computer is fuuuucked and will cost thousands of dollars to fix, but whatever. To the genius bar I shall go.
I got to spend time with my friends today, which was awesome. I’m doing really well now that I’m back in Seattle. There are still the same regular stressors — plus laptop dramarama — but all in all I’m fine. It’s nice to be back with my kitties and in my own apartment with all my own things.
A bunch of my friends today were like, “Oh, we missed you so much, we’re so glad you’re back,” which was cool, because, ya know, you figure you leave for a month during holiday season when everyone is so hectic and no one even notices you were gone. But, no, they noticed, and they missed me. That really boosted my spirits. I’m very glad I’m back in Seattle.
Oh! And my friend Jennie got me this amazing necklace where the charm is a beet very similar to my Evil Beet logo. It was in my mailbox when I got home. I’d posted a link to it online a couple weeks back, saying that I wanted it, and Jennie secretly had it sent to me in Seattle. Ask and ye shall receive? It completely made my whole day that someone thought of me like that. I will take a pic of me wearing it just as soon as I don’t look like shit. But I wore it tonight and told everyone how it came to be with me.
So the good news is that the emotional terror appears to be over. The bad news is that my body now has to respond to the intense physical stress by getting sick. It’s like clockwork. I get through extreme emotional stress, and then my immune system is off-guard and I catch a goddamn cold. Oh well. After swine flu, I can take on anything!
