The week had some weird points. Acquaintance from my dream may have avoided me in the bar.

I think Dawn dish soap ripped my nail off yesterday. I applied to a creative writing certificate program. My washer is broken and they haven't sent someone to fix it yet. I need to water my plants and do my midday yoga. I have been slacking at my job. 

I'll start with the creative writing certificate program and then move onto a non-degree graduate group program for history or comp lit. I love to learn and it will satisfy me while I save for my online MLIS. 

3:57 pm 

Midday yoga is done. I have been more productive at my job... likely helped by the presence of a friend who is studying. I should go work in cafes more often but I love getting housework done during work so I always end up staying inside. 

I made a pillow over the weekend and I am quite pleased with it. I hope to make another one soon, some paper crafts, and a bag.

She keeps kissing me intensely before leaving for work but then there is nothing for the whole rest of the day. Don't I arouse anything in her? She has made a couple subtle references to her enjoyment of being open. I just still don't understand.

I have this hilarious problem where I want to allow myself to dream about getting published but the idea of having to be a "figure" who markets myself to market a book is horrifying. I have a terrible internet footprint from terrible choices I made at 18 and I can't ever let myself live. I want to be able to dream of authorial success without that weighing on me. Coupled with my tendency to severe and immense paranoia.... it's too much.

I really love The Cranberries. Their first 4 albums are on constant rotation for me. I really love Bury The Hatchet.

I had a lovely weekend but I feel myself flirting with self-destruction again. I think I can learn to allow myself a bit of mess and risk without catastrophizing (is that not a word? it should be). I do feel like I am strengthening certain friendships that warm my heart and push me to be a version of myself I like more. 

I injured my left knee from weightlifting wrong and now I have to modify my workout routine. I hate it. 

I am back to sewing a bit more. I like it! I like clothes! 

Also, I bought a tabletop dishwasher off of fb marketplace. This is a BIIIIIIG deal. Huge deal.

I feel like it is all barely holding together. I feel wrung out. 

Sometimes I feel like she needs to be convinced to just leave. Go to Boston with her brothers and try over. I don't know. She doesn't know what she wants so I don't know what to offer.

I don't think this pattern of once a month or once every two months is enough for me. I feel like I've tried everything to fix it. I've bought books and toys and outfits and planned times and been spontaneous and sent texts. I'm sad.

Another weekend.... another morning of dread! I am an annoying drunk. In other news, I feel a lot better on other topics. Just needed to makeout with B on the dancefloor! Thank god for B.

I am really trying to make a better effort of turning my obsessive thoughts into fiction writing. I want to try to take them to their most extreme conclusion rife with the absurdity. I got 2 pages in last night which is better than most nights. Whenever I get sick I am made incredibly depressed. I feel like dog shit.

I feel restless and sick and like everything around me is dirty. I want cleaner air. I want to go camping.

Feeling very sexual and also very ugly. It is disorienting.
