Work stress and furniture

[ljwrites]

My current interminable work assignment is draining the soul out of me. Like I need the work and am grateful to have it, but also just ughhh. I'm just barely keeping myself functioning by mainlining the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, plus all kinds of music from my collections that I haven't browsed in a while.

Another way I'm relieving stress is by obsessing about furniture of all things, specifically a new desk that'll replace my current one which has been oversized ever since I changed things around to a split-desk layout for more comfortable seating. Changing the furniture is one of those middle-aged female coping mechanisms I didn't understand when I was younger, along with a taste for trashy drama about getting comeuppance in the face of unjust family situations. I'm turning into my mom in my middle age and I guess that's not a bad thing lol.

I want a new desk so bad haha. But my real problem is that there's a ton of stuff that isn't mine in the room where I work, and so there's a limited amount I can control...

I'm always here for the trashy dramas about comeuppance in family injustice too. :)

Mood! We're the home that's been left with much of the family's castoffs, so decluttering is an eternal and complicated challenge.

Trashy dramas are so good, they actually seem to help the digestion when the comeuppance begins, and I've developed a habit of watching short episodes over lunch xD

"It's good for my digestion!" is such an old-person thing to say about this, I absolutely adore it. :)
