Oof, I'm restless today. I'm all jammed up about therapy, the election, NaNo, diet/exercise, fellowship stuff, anxieties about work.

I'm trying to keep myself busy to ward off the worst of it, but it's not quite working.

I had a nice long phone chat with my other-coast BFF this morning, which was really lovely. I *love* talking with her--it's so grounding, plus I always straighten up the apartment while she and I are on the phone, so my space is looking a little better now. I've got a writer's group this afternoon (over Zoom/discord) so that'll kill some time. And the weather's nice enough so I can go for a run at some point. I'm also joining in an Among Ups party tonight with my roommate and some of her friends, so that'll help kill the hours at night. (I've never played before, but I did the tutorial thing and it seemed kind of cute and fun so maybe it'll be reasonably diverting?)
