The Dandy Warhols released their new album, Rockmaker, today, so I'm kicking off the weekend with a song from that LP, I'd Like To Help You With Your Problem featuring Slash.

i have been procrastinating writing my stupid time loop fic for the past week because we wrote ourself into a corner by adding Cuno into the mix and HERE'S the problem with writing as a system. Y'know how you try to Channel The Energy™ of a character you're trying to write. We can't do that as a system we'll just pull that character up to front for realsies. Do you see my problem here? I don't want Cuno up front. He'll just call me slurs.

I'm just now realizing that I've started seeing, like, names I actually know in my interactions! So-and-so liked your post, this other person reblogged your post..
I never know what to do when things are going well. I'm in maintenance. People don't usually interact with me (professionally) unless there's a problem. And once the problem is fixed I get to see it working once and then I disappear. I don't know what "Good and reliably functional" looks like lmao. Not in person. Not long term. It kinda works that way with relationships too, for the most part. I mean I have long-running relationships, don't get me wrong. But in the professional world, I'm so used to being a ghost, that it's quite normal for people to see me 50 times and never have had the chance to learn my name. That makes most people I come across strangers. And that makes me a stranger to practically every person I come across.
The practical effect of this for me is that I NEVER know what to do after problems are fixed and it's time to just exist.
Like...I leave now, right? I'm at home, I did the dishes, folded the laundry, and changed the tires on the car. That's all I needed to do for today. I... I'm done now... but like, there's a lot of hours left in the day. What do I do now? Do I leave? I don't have anywhere to go... relaxing doesn't feel natural. So in real life I just end up working myself into exhaustion because my brain needs something to fix at all times cuz that's how I'm wired.
And online it's not much better. Years ago, I was flirting with someone and they said something quite provocative. I was like ".....I..... don't know where to go from here. I can't say I didn't expect that to work but like... I'm not sure what to do now" and they were like "keep flirting. You're doing good"
😂😂😂😂
I don't really think there's a point to this post, I guess. If you have a mechanic, repairer, or maintainer in your life, who's entire job it is to figure out problems: it's okay to give them permission to sit down and relax

Weekly self care challenges
Back in July I did a 30 days of self care challenge, it was something I decided to do for two reasons. The first one it was to hold myself accountable and to actually do things for myslef, it helped with motivation, when I really didn't have much of that. Secondly it helped to see at the end of each day what I was doing for myself. It was a nice challenge, but I did it without much of a plan, and I basically just did more or less the same thing sfor a month. It was still good and effective, and certainly had an impact (especially with keeping me motivated as I said), but I felt like it was missing something.
I am yet again in a place in which I feel like I need to consciously take care of myself, but I would like to challenge myself a bit more in doing different things. I have browsed the internet and collected a long list of prompts and ideas. Since at the moment I am unable to plan clearly when I will have time to practice self care, between researching for my thesis, writing it and working, I decided that at the beginning of each week I will make a small post with a few self care prompts to complete during that week. I will cross them off as I complete them, and then in my daily posts I'll just have my small list of self care things I did on that day to keep myself accountable (which might contain self care things I do on a daily basis like reading first thing in the morning for example). This way I can try to challenge myself, but I am still free enough to plan when do certain things last minute in case my working plans change. I hope this makes some sort of sense. I have collected quite a few ideas, and I am really looking forward to this personal challenge. Feel free to join me in these small weekly self care challenges (and let me know if you do!!), and if you have any ideas or things you personally like to do for self care, let me know! The more ideas the better. I will be starting from the week from the 24th to the 28th of August and then I'll go on from there for a few weeks and see how that goes. I plan on doing this for at least a month so four weeks, but I might do a bit more depending on how well it works.
