Blogathon: raise money for charity! Receive shinies!

[sofiaviolet]

You should all go check out blogforbarcc and help shadesong raise money for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center.

I made three pieces for the auction. :D All jewelry.


In less :D-type news, I've been pretty distant from a lot of stuff, as demonstrated by my lack of posting.

I fell off my meds quite a while back, and despite that, I've been functioning well at work* - but it's not leaving me with much energy left over. (It took me way too long to make those pieces for the auctions, for example, and I'm now over 15k behind my word count goals. Not to mention the not-posting.)

I do still have full bottles of my happypills, so I can get back on them. I should make an appointment with student health again first, though, so I don't accidentally discontinue treatment again because I ran out.

* And by "well," I mean that I'm not oversleeping and am getting my work done quickly and competently enough to please my superiors. But my focus is... not so great, which means I'm not satisfied with my own work, which is never great for my mood.

Please do not neglect yourself. Get yourself to student health and get back on your meds. We love you; love yourself.

:) Thanks.

I would say it's a good sign that I'm taking the step now, and not later when I've started fucking up at work, or having emotional problems.

Because I hate the phone, I'll try to leave early tomorrow, to make an appointment in person before work. Otherwise, I'll try to squish it in during lunch, and if I can't, then right after work.

As a token of my appreciation, have a lolcat.

Love the cat - reminds me of endless hand games to keep you entertained in church when you were a toddler. You may not remember them.

I made my appointment with Dr. Hoblitt. It might be a race to see whether meds or therapy resolve the bp spikes.

If I can figure out the bidding thingy, I'll try to get one of your pieces. If not,
I'll just have to commission one.

I don't. I remember being bored as an older kid, though.

Good. (Made my own appointment, next Wednesday right after work.)

Bidding involves leaving a comment - not really any different than commenting on my journal. Just make sure you're logged into LJ.

Thanks for the bidding help. Is there a way to make a direct contribution if you don't win your auction item? It is a cause that's worth supporting.

If I don't respond to any messages until later, it's because I'm having the stress test. It may take a good portion out of the middle of my day.

Re: Self-care

Yes, you can just make a donation outright. It would be exactly the same as what you'd do if you won the item. I can help you. :)

Good luck with the stress test. Hope it goes well.

Like I said in my DM, I'll be at work until 4:30 tomorrow. When were you guys getting in?
