I am in dumpling mode and Coleslaw is Concern

Me four weeks ago: I need to increase my SSRI dose to summer levels soon Me this week: why have I been skipping literally every single meal the past two weeks?? My undermedicated seasonal depression: bonjour

Les Miserables OBC babyyy

The bus is incapable of delivering me to the clinic anytime other than “40 minutes before appointment time” and “1 minute before appointment time,” love that for me

This week in Kat’s Cursed Apartment

Yes two (2) people tagged my dog in this

Good news, my foot is NOT broken, bad news, that means it’s a fucking soft tissue problem

Annika got me a print of this one, it is framed and hung proudly in my office lol

I got an xray before my foot had been bugging me for at least 3-6 months, please clap

On the one hand, I absolutely would be dead without my SSRI, but on the other hand, we all know I’m not the kind of person this administration wants around

Me: *hears terrier noises coming from the direction of the bin* Coleslaw: *licking a chocolates wrapper* Me: Coleslaw, you know you aren’t supposed to be eating chocolates wrappers Coleslaw: well maybe if SOMEONE would give Coleslaw an chocolates once in a while we wouldn’t be in this situation

Yes.

Slightly diminish a book Wuthering Mild Elevations

Love to have multiple chronic conditions whose control relies entirely on my intrinsic ability to follow the goddam rules

“Twentieth-century dreamboat Jerry Orbach”

Cinema: no outside food or drink allowed The little old ladies in the opera theater with me: do you want some grapes and cheese?

Man, I really love opera

Me, every time I watch the duel: maybe this time Onegin will miss

Attn: Venn diagram of knitters and opera fans: I NEED to know what shawl Filipyevna is wearing in The Met’s Eugene Onegin

Tchaikovsky more like TurnedOnsky

It is OPERA day, gonna go watch a 19th century Russian fuckboy make bad choices!!

Hoodiesaurus is completely finished and Coleslaw is deeply unhappy with me lol

Fuck yeah naked shower

Coleslaw do not “help” me put sheets on the bed challenge level impossible

Will this soft skills webinar be useful or will it just make me feel bad about myself, hmmm

Therapist: how many times have you actually seen Dark Harbor? Me: bestie I lost count like fifteen years ago

Therapist: so how have you been coping with the stress of this week? Me: oh, I have watched Dark Harbor *several* times Therapist: ah, of course Me: in fact, let me see if I can cram 15 minutes of my feelings about Dark Harbor into the last five minutes of session

Mum: I know you like…Alan…Rickman…

Me: *gives mum a summary of Dark Harbor* Mum: when you said you were going to give me a plot summary I wasn’t expecting twenty minutes Me: yeah this is probably why Caitlin knows the plot even tho she’s never actually watched it Mum: she doesn’t NEED to watch it

lmao the instructions on this packet risotto are telling me I only need to add one (1) tablespoon of parmesan (I added half a cup)

One of my piercings fell out yesterday and I gave myself a blood blister on my earlobe putting it back in and I can’t stop touching it :(

Photograph notes: the women are wearing Victorian dresses Me: those women are wearing s bend corsets

Gazing lovingly at my St. Sebastian collection like your honor he is just so penetrable

I have a photo of a guy named “Wart,” what in the TH White is going on in this collection

People are wrong on the internet about my favorite movie and I’m making it Caitlin’s problem

Dear whoever uploaded my emotional support movie’s director commentary to the internet, I could kiss you

Current status: watching Dark Harbor (1999) in the bathroom until this tornado warning passes

Lads it has been a beast of a day and I think I just hit my last straw

Tornado warning! At the office

I am in the office. I have coffee. I am…gradually resigning myself to the state of the to-do list.

My brain has, inexplicably, been mashing up “largo al factotum” and “poor wandering one” for the past two days

I am NOT letting myself get sucked in weaving the ends on Hoodiesaurus tonight bc tomorrow is a rare Monday in the office, so I need to make an emotional support coffee cake and wash my hair.

There’s a whole whack of ends to weave in but all the knitting on Hoodiesaurus is DONE! 🧶

Hoodiesaurus update: SPIKES DONE!! Going to knit a couple pairs of icord ties and then I’ll just have to weave in one thousand ends 🧶

Hoodiesaurus status: time for spikes! 🧶

Hamlet: You know what this situation really needs? Actors.

She has no idea that I’m going to make her model this baby sweater

Hamlet Sr.: Listen, kiddo, I need you to kill my brother as soon as possible, don’t think about it too much, just fucking do it Hamlet: Oh, I am gonna overthink the FUCK out of it

Today’s opera while I work on this baby sweater is Hamlet
