Shout out to my class mate who not only gave my a jump start tonight but also, after hearing that I was an hour from home with very little gas and my wallet had been stolen, drove with me to a gas station and put $25 worth of gas in my car. Today was the first time we ever met.

Playing Infamous: Second Son and the DUP (fascists military police) show up with their sirens going and my little brothers Guinea pigs start singing in a way that sounds just like the siren.

Bro I think your Pigs are Cops

Saw these while taking a walk today. #florespondence

DEA Agent on a BiCountry assignment in Mexico looking for the police station: How do you say Police in Mexican?
Shopkeeper: No such thing man.
DEA Agent:*stares*
Shopkeeper: As that language.
DEA Agent: *stares*
Shopkeeper: Fine the word you’re looking for is Cerdo. That’s how you say Police in “Mexican,” Cerdo.

Made the Union Rep’s day today when he asked if he had given me his “Join the Union spiel” and I told him I was already planning to sign up.

Then he helped me write an email to HR to ask when they were gonna have me in to sign my contract and get my health insurance.

Today I said to myself that my emotions were “out of wack” but then corrected as they are pretty “in wack” considering my recent stressors they just aren’t where I would like them to be.

It’s like my emotional state is a kitchen and I am usually very good at keeping it tidy but then I just had an accident making tomato sauce from scratch and now the kitchen is all dirty and I’ve been slowly cleaning it but I’m worried if I don’t get it all clean soon it’ll start to smell bad.

Does anyone else who can’t afford a therapist just hold imaginary conversations with one in their head when you need to sort out your feelings?

Been doing that a lot lately waiting on the new job to have me sign the contract so I can get my insurance card.

My job is high stress and involves interacting with children. It’s hard on a good day and requires I have full control over my emotional responses. I’ve mostly got the outward stuff handled but I don’t know how much is below that.

Saw these a few weeks ago while at a friend’s 40th birthday party Larp #florespondence

Found this outside my dad’s church when I visited to help with Rise Against Hunger. #florespondence

My tea plant has it’s first flower. #florespondence

I am feeling content home alone sitting in my living room completely naked under a blanket watching trash TV

Was this coworker I met last night flirting with me or was she just being nice?

And if she was flirting what is the best way to say that while I enjoyed the flirtation, I just got out of relationship, and don’t want to mix being “on the rebound” and a workplace romance especially when we are both in our first year as full time employees?

Or should I just shut up, enjoy confidence boost that flirting gave me and not read too much into it?
