Chit-Chat: a good ol' fashioned DCC!

Oh dear me.

Kind of like realizing too late your odometer was at a perfect number seconds before you looked.

 

[moon]

Haha yes, and it cannot be rewinded or retconned :why:

 

[Starlight]

So. I just missed two PC milestones by an inch.

Happy belated anniversary!

Do you watch American Dad? There's a whole episode that's basically about that 😅

I'm staying at another house for the New Years weekend. Idk how to feel right now.

 

[moon]

Happy new year! It's 2023 in central europe rn.

 

[Corrin]

Still a little over an hour where I live!

 

[Starlight]

A week into 2023 already! It's nearly Christmas ;)

 

[Eleanor]

The list of things I need to do before next Christmas happens is enormous though ♥

I have to remain in the present for now.

 

[Venonat in Space]

I have to remain in the present too. But sometimes (this is what I learned from my behavior intervention specialist) in order to get "apple pie" I have to "get the ingredients" first, and in order to "get the ingredients," I have to "go to the super market." Of course, this is a metaphor to think ahead with a person's goals and plans but...he also wants me to stay in the present. Actually, this is really a metaphor (according to him) to be patient and wait for the "apple pie" to be done, cause I was nervous if something will be planned or not on someone else's terms. I'm just nervous about how far the drum corps will get out of the drudges of what the covid-19 pandemic did to us, and if we'll still be able to do what we used to do. The current leader of the drum corps has to have a meeting with his boss and see if we can still do the things we used to do (performances, trips, etc.). But he's giving himself a deadline of February to have this meeting, and that's a couple of weeks away. He's also super busy, so alas, I am nervous.

...but as of a couple of days ago, I gave up trying to help and decided to just go with the flow with what drum corps is currently doing. My body can't go through this stress. Stress hurts.

In other news, my day-hab announced tryouts for the next play "Matilda the Musical." Everyone wants me to try out, but I don't know. I could do a voice-over again like I did for the last play but I may want to do something on stage but i'm so unsure due to my unluckiness with singing dancing and acting.

All COVID did for me was show just how insane people are. I work in retail.

the pandemic made our employers realize that it's fine for people to WFH

So I've heart. Ironically, mine got to the exact opposite conclusion. He decided that wfh is incredibly inefficient and as a result we have only done it once right at the beginning of the pandemic. ^^"

 

[moon]

oh wow. well i suppose it differs between businesses and fields. we're researchers and need the lab a lot but some months we just write write read read and the open office was so distracting :why:

 

[Corrin]

I haven't ever seen my therapist in person because of the pandemic ;_;

 

[Zeostar]

The pandemic has created such moments of strangeness.

I had my stitches removed in a parking lot because they didn't want people going into the building.

 

[Venonat in Space]

I had NOTHING until February of last year, and before then, it was zoom so it sucked. Covid I saw just revealed how some people are just crazy (no specific stories to tell i'm too tired right now lol)

So it turns out that the director of the drum corps had the meeting I was talking about, and all we can do is local gigs. We can't do any extravagant trips or performances because we don't have enough staff. Somehow I don't care because...I don't know why I just don't. *shrug*

And yeah, i'm trying out for the play this Tuesday just to switch up my routine. I'm not aiming to be a specific character, I'm just going to be happy with whatever I get.

 

[Corrin]

A lot of people aren't getting help they need because of it. I only got help because I went to the ER.

I went on a lovely evening walk last night, and loved the way the moon looked. It was the kind of crescent shape that's so dramatic it really does look like the Cheshire cat's grin. I could see planet Venus so bright and brilliant in the sky beside the moon, and Jupiter too. It was well worth a stroll down the street.
