Emotionally bruised

cornerofmadnessBut hey lasted a week before it happened.
Also mentally exhausted after a day of trying to make that stupid learning outcomes for the new syllabus. Ugh it's so hard doing this knowing no student gives a crap about them (and I'm including myself in that when I went back. I don't remember them being on a syllabus in the 80s).
Last night was traumatizing. It was 1 AM and I had just finished my Mall story (still need to get it beta read, sigh) and I felt a tickling behind my knee. One of those lightning quick jumping spiders was on my leg. She raced round and round as I tried to get her off of me. She fell off, dangling on a web while I'm having convulsions on the couch. Finally she got flung off. God knows where. Never saw her again. Shudders
Also Etsy seems to be broken. It won't let me review my new purchases. Well one I could the others two no. sigh.
Here's this for my limited brain power comm rec

comment_fic has a really nice goal. Read and Comment and lift up other authors/artists. I love the idea. The first two times I got a blackout and as a few friends said, they didn't want to do it because they'd feel pressured to do a blackout. I get that. I felt that. This time I said, you know what that pressure is all in your head so take control and do what YOU have time for and don't worry about it. You'll notice I didn't get a black out this time. I did actually read more. You can see my card here. Obviously I planned for a blackout but didn't have time. And that was OKAY. Also they do allow you to sub out stuff so it's much lower pressure that way. Feel free to check out my reads, maybe give someone else a smile.

That is a great idea for a comm it might help people to comment more and outside their comfort zone if it is part of a bingo. Congratulations on all the squares you got finished.
