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.

That is such an ingenious setup!

This seems to be an Austen-themed night, as I was just chatting about P&P and also Persuasion with a friend!

:D

Perhaps it's a hint to reread some Austen. :D

Edit: Also, welcome back!

Thank you :D and I certainly make sure to read Austen from time to time, especially passages from Persuasion which I am convinced is the best Austen novel along with Mansfield Park xD

I agree about Persuasion and will reserve judgement on Mansfield Park for now since it's been like 15 years since I last read it. Oops.
