Just a little gentle reminder for anyone who might need it today. 🤍

Also, why is it so difficult to make friends as an adult? Feels like in kindergarten it was much easier. You shared a snack or stickers, and off you went.

The "joys" of having platonic crushes means that you really, really want to get to know someone and be their friend ... just to then be totally awkward and blow it. Doesn't help that I have an anxiety disorder and texting can be a huge stress factor.

Depressive episode was confirmed, therapy was recommended. So, I'll either cough up 600 per month for therapy, or hope my health insurance will reimburse me. May have to start praying to any listening deity...

Your girl's got an appointment with her old therapist. Gotta pay out of pocket for that one, but it's well worth it.

Writing is therapy, or something....

Wishing you a gentle April 🐾🤍

I'd like to tell HR to go fuck themselves. What's corporate speak for that?

Go into IT, they said. It'll be fun, they said. Until you have breaking changes in your framework. And the locally published lib doesn't get pulled. Inhale. Exhale.

"If all it took was a colleague gifting you a mini-orchid, I would've gotten you a plant for your office way earlier."

lol. Uhm, meow, I mean.

Damn me and my "I don't need a reminder" attitude, just to be 30 minutes early for my bank appointment.

The only upside of getting up this early is seeing the sun rise.

Thinking about rebooting a personal Instagram account. If you're interested, come and find me here: www.instagram.com/schusselblume

As a kid, your daily nap was the worst thing that could happen. Now I understand dad, mum, and grandma who took naps frequently.

You know you have a problem when your manager writes: "Let's talk about the hours of overtime you have and how to get rid of them." Well, apparently, starting next week, I don't have a 5-day week again until end of June. (There were also vacation days left from '25. Oops.)

Reading "Wordslut" by Amanda Montell makes me realise how much I miss linguistics, gender studies, social studies and sociolinguistics.

When you're about to meet with a friend you haven't seen in more than 6 months:

On that note: I sometimes wonder if my anxiety disorder came with built in OCD tendencies.

Dear me, a voucher for a bookstore is meant to be spent on books. That means that you can buy a book with said voucher. You don't need to "wait and see if you'd like another book more". Wanting a book now is reason enough.

3:50 - a car transporter on our cul-de-sac street, right in front of my bedroom window. 9:50 - fire department sweeping sand with police joining My inner Nosey Nelly is unhappy that she doesn't know what happened. The rest of me is grumpy because I couldn't fall back asleep until 5:30.

Very good advice for when you really wanna do a thing, but are afraid. <3

Can you become a professional purrito? I'd like to apply.

Manager: "There is no problem." Me: "There is no war in Ba Sing Se."
