the calm before the storm
It's 2 a.m. and I'm sitting at my desk with my planner and nearly all the lights in my apartment open. A huge storm the size of the country is supposed to make landfall later today. I haven't felt this nervous about a typhoon in a long time. It's literally the size of the Philippines. What are you even supposed to do about that? It was hot and sunny, not very November-like, the entire day. What an extreme calm before the storm.
In other news, I'm drowning in work for a long string of events my department's putting on starting Monday. I'm wearing so many different hats, and so are the exact same people I'm working with. We're all just the same mice stacked in three different trench coats. Tensions running high, of course. I'm just really looking forward to a couple events and then to crashing in my bed at the end of all of it.
I'm so tired. I don't feel like a person sometimes. I've been thinking about buying an actual paper journal again to get myself back into my mind and body. Maybe the ink stains on my hands will remind me I have hands. Hope you're having a good day today.
