It's becoming a struggle

[cornerofmadness]

Swimming in all this work with no end in sight. By the time I get the class stuff not done but at least to the point I can knock off for the night, I'm too tired to work on original fiction. I may have to ask for an extension on the novella which I don't want to do because I got the idea they weren't that enthusiastic for it to begin with.

I've barely done fanfic this past 10 days for that matter. I'm just emptied out.

Worry is there too because my health is declining fast. Local friends not that helpful either because well, we're all around the same age so nothing like a bunch of women going through menopause at the same time.

At least Spring Break is coming up and tonight was weird. My Dad, who does not want me to buy a house, found me a couple of houses in Jackson he wants me to look at. Honestly they're all decent, over priced. I think he wants me out of this place before I die when it collapses. I just wish I had any confidence this school would be here in a year or two. I have none.

But it's not all gloom. I found this fantastic D&D cookie cutter set that enemytosleep and I need.

I'm rooting for you to get as much done as humanly possible. It sucks when real life is so overwhelming like that.

So good luck and remember to hydrate and sleep.

So far my menopause has been actually good. A little overheated, but much better than the emotional upheaval of PMS.

Thanks so much. I should never b e in this position but universities across the country are doing this, with NO conception of how running a classroom works

I've been a chronic insomniac since birth (no really)


You know honestly, that's about all I have too. Tiredness and hot flashes that have left me shocked I haven't caught the couch on fire but PCOS has had me having those since my 30s. Some of my friends on the other hand have the emotional upheavals

If I baked those would be so cute!

[cornerofmadness]

ditto. Granted I need a cookie like I need slapped

Hope you get a restful and/or productive spring break.

Thank you. At this point I'm not sure I'm going home on time (just like at Christmas) because I have to be here for the heater and I can't do that tomorrow if they can't be here at 8 or after 4
