I can't remember the last time I was home before 10pm. Sort of nice. Meanwhile, I've lost plans for tomorrow night and have gained them for Sunday, which works out well for me and even heralds laundry! It also stops me from having to decide between some of my Regency gear and a vintage Bonwitts dress for tomorrow.

There are an array of productive things I could be doing, being home at so unusual an hour. But I'm going to take a nap and hope my period comes soon, as while I've no reason to be concerned, PMS induces such intense narrative paranoia in me it's slightly astounding.

After nap I will wash out and repack the bento (my new meditative habit) for tomorrow, maybe practice fencing and then, in fact, do some actual work, and I do still have a couple of articles to write in the next couple of days (perhaps I should decide on topics). It's also time for acting postcards and I have some Descensus edits to look at from Kali. You all who do read that are going to howl at the next installment.

I also find out RSN about the $500 bonus for the entertainment writing program thing I've been doing at Gather. That would be sweet.

What do you put on your postcards? I'm always baffled.

In this case: "hope your survived the holidays. Meanwhile, I need a vacation from my vacation. Looking forward to getting back to work..." blah blah blah.

Thank you for saying this. I have struggled with this too and I always feel like I am the only one. Mine does vary by month and has been better recently there's always something to note.

It's _such_ a specific thing. Like long things about who hates me and why and how they'll tell me and what awful thing I'll have to say in response and onwards and onwards.

The worst mine was was when I would get convinced EVERYONE hated me and was plotting against me and I could come up with all kinds of reasons. I could usually remember that there was one person (at any given time) I trusted and I could call that person and have them at least sort of reassure me. A few times (when I worked at a job that put me in people's homes asking them questions for a study) I would ask to use the bathroom and then call my best friend at work and (all earnestly) ask her if she thought people were plotting against me.

Are you on anything for it? I take calcium, B6, and magnesium and I get needles stuck in me. I've tried other stuff but this seems to be about the best (I am more likely to pick a fight or feel kind of hopeless 3 days before my period but it is NOTHING like it was).
