booo. Woke up with my heart pumping and feeling anxious. I guess I need to start actively incorporating relaxation techniques again.

Hugs.

I'm sorry you're going through alot of shit right now.

One thing I like to do to de-stress is to write things down. Lists upon list. Mark things off. Add things. It helps to declutter my mind while actively getting things done.

I hope you find solutions to your troubles โ™ฅ

its probably a good thing that voting in mandatory. I already put 10x more effort into putting the stupid slip in the envelope than I would normally be prepared to do. Ended up giving up and holding it to stuff it in. Am I allowed? Dont care. Jobs done. and frankly given I did some research and didn't just draw a dick I'm prepared to bet I put in more effort than some folks will.

I just folded mine. Then watched the other half try to gently fit his in the envelope with his giant man hands while laughing quietly.

My partner and I did ours over the weekend. 5 candidates, and one of them needed an editor for their blurb honestly. Completely nonsensical. Put them 5 haha.

Also we just folded ours haha

Council elections? I had a lot of trouble getting the envelope open far enough to put the ballot paper in. Ended up sticking a skewer in and waggling it about before putting the ballot paper in. I diagnose crappy quality control of envelope specifications.

that woulda been a better idea than me wiggling my pinky in there! pretty sure I heard the cat laugh at me.

Very not looking forward to this week of work. Doing the latest possible shift, 1230 to 8.30. then week after that back to 8am to 4pm, much better.

Never watched the Sopranos until now. Great show, but as someone who grew up with Italian grandparents, calling pasta sauce 'gravy' makes my eye twitch.
