oh good

[rivendellrose]

It's nice to know that even when I'm a little depressed I still have the energy to procrastinate on work by obsessing about media.

By which I mean oh boy I really enjoyed the last episode of Discovery and cannot wait until January when the mere existence of new Star Trek to obsess over messes up my productivity all over again.

But seriously, I'm okay, just going through a bit of a non-writing, non-productive super-introvert funk where I don't especially want to do anything and force myself to do some of the things anyway, mostly because oh god I'm so busy with work (which, hey, is why I'm posting here, right? of course!). The depression is not serious, it really is minor, it just leaves me generally very bleh, so I really am genuinely happy that DSC continues to burn through it. Oh! And I had a very nice first game of the new tabletop group yesterday! My character confused the hell out of everyone, which was fun. She has Issues.

Okay. I'm going to go Do Some of the Things, now.

I'm sorry about the funk! Not that you need advice, but I get the seasonal thing every year and using one of those blue light things really takes the edge off for me. So I'm always like suggesting that if it might be useful to someone. Especially in this ridiculous RAIN FOREVVVERRR thing we have going in the PNW!

Anyway. Aaaaaah I haven't seen the new episode yet but I am hearing very good things about gay space kisses and certain people NOT being dead so eeeee I am excite. :D :D

No, that's a really good idea. I used to have one of those, back when I was working in a dark office all day, but I gave it to a friend after I got a desk with a window at my old job. I thiiiiiiink what I'm getting is at least partly caused by the fertility drugs I'm on, because they cause mood swings... but the change in the season is probably not helping, either. Happily, I have an appointment with my therapist this week, so I can talk to her about it, too. Because yeah, the weather in this region is rough sometimes.

There is indeed both gay space kissing AND people being not dead! And some adorable straight snuggling, too, which, because of the people involved, delighted me as well. ♥

Yeah! The blue light thing is one of those things I put off trying for years and years because I thought, oh surely it couldn't possibly make thaaat much of a difference? But then it kind of did? So I remind people about it all the time now. Also, hormones are dark magic, so I can easily believe that's part of it. Hopefully you can get some good things going with your therapist in any case.

I am continually amazed at a) how frickin bright and hot the sun is from 93 million miles away and b) how a simple layer of floaty water in the sky can block so much of the energy from that gigantic nuclear furnace? WEATHER! *hands*

Just sitting down to watch 1x09 now!

Hormones, man, they suck. Especially when you're taking things to artificially increase them. *facepalms*

It really is crazy to think of all the actual physical details that go into weather, isn't it? We had some pretty crazy winds here yesterday, and I had to go out for a work thing in the evening, so I was... more than usually aware of things like "WOW, WIND!" and "HOLY CRAP, RAIN" and stuff like that. Knocking-stuff-over and putting-out-the-power levels of wind. And then thinking about how actually big and amazing the sun is, just, damn!
