Working Myself Ragged (But Only Because It's Fun)

My antidepressants are working so well, it's freaking out my roommate. She's mostly joking but I think she is genuinely taken aback by how chill I've become lately about everything. The whole time she's known me up until my car crash, I've been a sad & anxious wreck. But the weird thing about almost dying and then getting put on Venlafaxine for the concussion is that it changes your perspective on things extremely suddenly.

Now, I'm the one telling people to not worry about something, rather than someone having to tell me that. I did the dishes and the laundry today. I woke up at 7am to finish the new issue of my newspaper and didn't stop until around 5pm. I've gone past pleasant & productive into frayed & manic, admittedly. Nothing some sleep can't fix. Don't worry about it! It's very windy and rainy, has been all day... Surprised we still have power. Eh! No big deal. See? It's easy now.

Check out the newspaper and your subscription options here: Very Little News! A big ol' blog post about my newspaper adventures coming hopefully tomorrow. Gotta go crash now.
