    I want to go outside and stand on my head for awhile.

    That made a picture in my head of a person whose head is on the ground and he's managed to place both feet on his head. I believe you were talking about doing a headstand, though....

    Oh! That's what it's called.
    If I managed to roll up into a hoop like that though---I'm not that flexible.

    Signed up to enter counseling/therapy. If I don't maintain the brain then who am I to blame when it quits? Time for fixing it.

    Yes, I get that… I don’t like feeling like a burden either :(
    And the paperwork is a huge pain in the rear. Do you have anyone who can help you with it?
    Gerontius
    Gerontius
    I will see. I think the paperwork won't be too bad once I get the knack of it.

    I think so! Glad you were able to give yourself that confidence boost :)

    It's almost 2 AM and I'm up listening to Franz von Suppe and writing about Indians in the Rockies. I should sleep more!

    Working like mad to wrap up finals & listening to old marches & band records on the Edison cylinder phonograph -- chaotic productivity lol

    Luca
    That does sound chaotic lol, but if it helps you focus, that’s a good thing :)
    Gerontius

    It was very chaotic but I was writing fast. I then ran out of cylinders & fired up the big Edison Diamond Disc phonograph on the other side of the room--which was full of jazz records from the '20s. Kept on going.

    After months' worrying--I found out I can get a buttonholer for my sewing machine for less than $20. Looks like I finally get good shirts.

    Do you sew your own clothes?? That’s amazing!
    I can’t sew without stabbing myself lol. :p

    I'm working on teaching myself to do a better job. I like old styles you can't get any more, have little money, hate fast-fashion and sweatshop labor, and can fix machinery. Hence the antique sewing machine.

    It isn't too hard to sew really. It's fun.

    Within the last week I've ended up with a girlfriend and an offer of a $20/hour job. This will take time to process.

    I’m sorry :( What do you think is not right with the situation?
    Gerontius

    Mostly my mindset @crewlucca_ -- Nothing to do with job or girl but everything to do with my complete, debilitating fear of asking for help.

    Luca
    :( I know asking for help is hard. I’m here if you need support
    Gerontius
    Trying something different today & going to mass at a different parish. It'll be nice to maybe make friends
    Gerontius
    Gerontius
    Update. It was nice. Didn't make any new friends but it was in a great town that's definitely bicycling distance and I am going to heaad down there & try socializing more as soon as college & bicycle repairs permit.
    Gerontius
    I moved! Going back soon to rescue the old pump organ and the victrola but other than that GOODBYE FOREVER cityscape from Hades.
    Gerontius
    I must stay productive today. It's getting harder. My attention span is down to about 3 to 5 seconds.

    Life is making me tired. I'm about this close to being done with the nonsense--Is there a fast-forward button?
