Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.
For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.
I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

While we’re on the subj. of Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, this earlier scene drives me insane too, because speaking in just black and white, contractual terms, Bertie, you literally DO have the option? You’re the only one who has an option in this situation. You have the power to tell him he can’t go, you are literally his employer. And then he offers Jeeves use of the car to go to London, even though Jeeves never would’ve asked! Married behavior! Married behavior!!! This is the sort of negotiation spouses have with each other, we are fully out of the realm of master/servant now

Listen, hear me out.
Bokuto invites Akaashi over to spend weekends and holidays at your shared home often - even during weeks where he has to be closer to certain parts of the city for work. And, of course, you never mind. Akaashi is your boyfriend's best friend and he's a lovely guest to have and great company! You never mind giving up your spare bed to him.
Now, imagine, for one of these planned visits Akaashi arrives just a little bit earlier than usual and unwittingly catches you both in the middle of the deed - your legs pinned by your head Bokuto ruts into you with abandon.
Of course, Akaashi leaves to give you both some privacy! Comes back at the time he was supposed to instead to give him enough time to cool down. But, of course, now he can't look you in the eye the entire time he's over - images of how your body bent to his friend's will, how sinful your moans were - all of it went straight through him whenever your sweet eyes looked at him. And, despite his best efforts. Bokuto notices.
And, despite how quickly Akaashi fled, Bokuto knew he watched.

[tags from this post i just wanted a separate post]
CACKLING grace has hobbies i swear!!! he likes painting! ok there's not a lot of nice landscapes to paint in the neath unlike on the surface so maybe it's not as relaxing as it used to be but he still likes it,,,he even has a couple of people he can paint with!! which is 100 miles of progress compared to when he first got to the neath
he plays the violin sometimes,,,i'm sure he's dabbled in scrimshaw or maybe wood whittling,,,not much else to do on a ship!! maybe journalling. maybe not actually that probably stopped being fun and started being harrowing after a couple of years stuck in the ice. probably dropped that one
uh. he reads a lot!! but i don't think he knows enough people for a book club. or not enough book club material people for a book club anyway. (he can't exactly invite twitch to a book club :( ) he can just ask @thedeafprophet 's jamie for book opinions. he likes their books so i'm sure he'd trust their book recommendations. they're very qualified xD

I want to share something, long post:)
This week i am intensely feeling that time is, indeed, relative.
So many things happened at once and I am very happy in the moment, f* anxiety, I decided to fully enjoy the experience (thanks, therapy☺️).
So, last February things at my previous job became unbearable and i quit juuust before the burnout started to affect me for real.
No, that's not right, I've got health problems from this, it WAS affecting me badly (sincerely, fuck people, who do this to other people, I hope they'll burn in hell for causing me that much stress).
The following months were filled with existential and financial dread, weak attempts at getting my life back on track and even figuring out what I am and what I want and can do (do not recommend, it feels awful but I've got some of my documents in order; got my oven repaired (it's been broken for years); got the second piercing in my ear; fallen hard in a new fandom and got an old-new friend)).
My relatives were understanding for about 2months, then there were dreadful probing questions - are you looking for a job? will you work soon? (and I spent last 15years working, busting my ass - I have resources to be unemployed for about a year). Thanks for feeding my anxiety, I guess.
Unfortunately, I found out that I am not ready to work as an artist on commission, it's too taxing on my ability to create, that path is closed for me now(((
Three month later at a pretty low point I secured a job in a completely different field than my previous career path, though it did have qualities, I thought I needed the most - easy, boring, close to home.
After a month it was unbearable, so, last Tuesday at a lunch break I casually went to a job searching app; sent my resume to a couple of companies in a field related to my previous professional experience, got a couple of interview invites, called them back right away; AND
one of the companies turned out to be a start-up that some of my colleagues from previous-previous job founded)
By last Thursday I went to the coziest interview I've ever had in my life; this Monday I quit a boring job; by this Wednesday I started working at the start-up; it's been 3 days and I have SO MANY adventures related to the new place, so many positive feelings about it, I still kinda cannot believe that this is happening.
And I really feel like a lifetime has passed since this Monday. So, yeah. Time is relative.
Wish me luck.

Yesterday was rough. I didn’t go on my daily walk, I had the whole debacle with the air purifier and my betrothed and I fell asleep crying over missing Wyvern.
Today I’m even more tired. It feels dangerous not to do any exercise but it also feels like I’m moving through tar. I’ve gotta prep stuff for the road trip tomorrow and take Leeloo to get a shot but it feels like I have to climb a mountain.
