A Grudge in the Shadows
Dove into work in the morning, but I didn't have much, so I borrowed from others. I didn't think they'd mind. Our server has been impossibly slow all week, and even without weed, everything feels......slow. I cooked up some tofu I'd taken out for Julian's visit. I'm at sort of a perfect nexus, because even my nonproduce foods are nearing their expiration date, but I've also figured out that if I can just avoid spending more (say, grocery shopping) before I pay my credit card next week, I'll come out ahead. To say nothing of when my HSA finally fucking pays on the claim they've been stalling on.
Colleen Liked the song I posted, but that little voice is back, telling me she doesn't really like it, was just doing it to win points. A new member commented on it, and posted a song of their own by San Ilya. I didn't care for it, but I'm grateful enough for the post that I will go through their entire fucking catalogue to find one I do, and thank them for it.
In the afternoon, I watched some Lucifer, then went hunting for a Mazikeen shirt. I didn't find one, but I did find a Reddit devoted to Lucifer, and it got me thinking about Sandman again. Yes, two paragraphs after talking about saving money, I considered spending nearly $200 on the complete collection. And considered ordering Mongolian stir-fry sauce online, since Ralph's only carries Mongolian BBQ. I also stole more claims, and then found one where the AOB had been caught in the spam filter. I always check it in case there's anything important, but clearly I'm not everyone. I sent an email to the other paralegals about it, noting also that I've been receiving mail that was filed days ago, and then spent the next 30 minutes terrified I was going to get in trouble for doing other's work.
Jae had messaged me earlier, but I didn't check it, and they messaged me again, asking me to please register, and noting there was a stipend for those who need it. It's a conference or similar by DecrimCA for sex workers. I registered for both days, but declined the stipend. I have a day job that pays my bills, for all that I'm still haunted by Depression Era Syndrome, that money should go to those who really need it. Jae also asked for help, as they're trying to set up a Sex Worker's Outreach Project in San Diego. I haven't forgotten that Jae was going to take over SWORN, then flaked and just ignored all messages. And I never will. I was willing to help though, as this is larger than my grudges, but all Jae said was they need help organizing. I asked them to be more specific, and....poof. No response.
Julian's dad left, and I guess he had to get up early, then couldn't fall asleep. Lorde knows I've got plenty of Seroquel if he wanted it, but he was grumpy and short with me, and declined.
I texted Tim after, to ask how his session with Candace went. It went well, and she said he should give me more credit. I was tipsy enough to fight that, but that knee-jerk reaction of disgust is obviously something I should probably deal with.
I also saw a post from Justin, labeled Justice, and messaged him about it. He wants to change his name. Apparently that was his original name, and since it's more gender neutral, he's going to swap to it. I didn't ask again about his gender identity - if there's news, it's his to share. I know it's a fairly simple process in CA to change your name, and offered to look into how to do it in Texas, but he's still registered here, so going to do it when he comes back to visit. Works for me.
