Mon/Fri - The World Needs Me, Apparently
🕑 Added 2020-08-19 03:04:06 +0000 UTCSo this is what I have been up to, and why I've been tired lately.
I help a lot of people in my day to day life, and sometimes there's a need for more help than at other times. Someone needed me this week, but wasn't quuuuiiiiiite there in terms of having their shit together enough of making my time feel worthwhile. Which is why I do things like this in the first place. I spiraled a little bit, because emotions are complicated like that- were everything easy to process, mental health would be arithmetic.
And then yesterday, I was assaulted by a literal dumpster fire.
Goddamn, walking out to my car in the apartment garage, glance in my side view mirror, say to myself "are those flames coming out of the combined recycling?" I turn, and confirm, yes, those are flames coming out of the combined recycling, and then I think to myself, "aw, shit."
"AW, SHIT," I yelled. "THAT'S A FIRE."
So after a few seconds spent frantically waving at the opener sensor on my building's garage door, then kicking at the tripwire sensor that's supposed to make it open if anything gets in its way, I successfully go outside and open it from the gate control, before pushing the burning fucker out into the street. And then, I dealt with the aftermath that comes with ensuring a burning dumpster is out during a heatwave. Because I am a responsible adult in a reality where we need to just accept that sometimes, things just want to blow up and catch fire for no reason.
I just wanted to get lunch. And a day where something didn't pop out at me and I didn't wind up dumping half my mag into it's chest.
Tomorrow, that will happen, and I'll get some more work done. I will have something for you good folks soon.
