If being a woman didnt exist Id have invented it! Its something I feel pre-verbally more than something I have to think about or consciously observe.

Ive personally never struggled with identity. Even though I was an egg for a while lol :p

It was something I felt much more strongly than I ever worried about thinking it or finding the right words to describe. I am me~ never asked for more. Felt it in my gut and I do the things that make me happy or feel fulfilled.

If there were no observer Id still be me, doing my me thing.

Port is good for cooking!! You can make a pan sauce just by using it for deglazing. A traditional bolognese is made with red wine, you could try that.

Theres a few classics, a daiquiri, a pina colada. For highball, rum and tonic is apparently good. Rum in grocery store alcohol free eggnog is nice. I love alcoholic coffee, rum and coffee is a nice pair.

These hose aint lion. Nylon actually

They could do an Office, The Paper, Parks and Rec style workplace comedy set in GoT... actually fuse on Yes, Minister and In The Thick of It too. I dont think itd be the small council though, even smaller

Columbo vs Measurehead

How do you think Columbo wouldve handled the Disco Elysium murder

🎵well, when I was a boy,
my daddy sat me on his knee
and he taught me,
he taught me many things
he said son, theres a lot of things in this world
you're gonna have no use for
and when you get blue
and you've lost all your dreams
there's nothing like a campfire
and a can of beans🎵

I think rosy boas are very cute!

I kinda want to get a snake. I went to a reptile expo and theyre so cute! They fit my current work schedule, Im single, so if it just hangs out and eats like twice a month that works for me.

Ive met a lot of patients who tell me they didn't sleep at all, and I was there all night. They did appear to sleep much more than they actually did - and aside from that, even just resting eyes closed (racing thoughts or no) still counts as at least half sleep. Ive also had the occasional night of no or poor sleep, woke up feeling drunk and still had to work ugh

Obviously, though, this level of anxiety is not tenable for you and you do have to do something about this. You reported similar all last year about your stress level. Like, medication, whatever change you need to make, you can't continue on like this. You said more or less the same 6 or 8 months ago and that it was only "for now" and yet... anyway, you are worthy of being healthy, rested, happy, loved, and not a ball of constant anxiety.
