- swallow a large multivitamin
- calm someone down over the phone
THING I CANNOT EVER DO NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRY:
- hook up my freaking wireless router and get it to freaking work HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS WHY IS IT SO HARD WHY IS IT WHY IS IT WHY WON’T IT WORK I JUST WANT SOME INTERNET UP IN HERE OH MY GOD
but instead of being seized by panic and giving into the heart-racing, stomach-churning, teeth-grinding, throat-closing feelings, i got up and drank a glass of water, then i got back into bed and forced myself to start listing all the things i’m thankful for.
it started with the basic, easy things…thankful for a comfy bed, warm house, safe place to live, my family, my job, clean water to drink, food to eat, the fact that i can walk and talk and think and breathe all on my own, etc etc.
…and it worked! within 15 minutes, i was back asleep. it’s so easy to focus on the negative things, the stuff going on that stresses me out or makes me really sad…but then when i started thinking about all the great stuff i take for granted every day, all those black, panicky, anxious thoughts fell away as they were replaced by gratitude and peace.
just an idea to try next time you’re overwhelmed with anxiety or worry, or even just regular old insomnia…maybe it’ll help you like it helped me :)
but doing it all by yourself sucks 10,000 times more.
in other news, i’m stronger than i thought i was! (muscle-y wise)!
in other other news, i’m probs going to be hurting tomorrow (muscle-y wise)!!

Office Depot has a deal on 4 packs of 250 Full-Color Raised Print business bards. To take advantage of the deal, apply this code: 71968582 then this code: 16400993. The whole thing should come out to $3, shipped.
I believe these codes are only good today, but I could be wrong.
I just did this! I’ve always wanted business cards, hahah…I am super excited. Not sure what I’m going to do with 1,000 of them, but it was only $3.50 TOTAL. Even if I just use them to make it rain on my friends, I can justify that cost.
Yay secret online savings!
Everyone go make your own srs bsns cards now for super duper cheap, before Office Depot figures out what we’re up to.
“For generations, kids couldn’t wait until they reached adulthood so they could smoke, drink, eat four-course meals, make money, drive cars, have sex, and, if they were the type to join the military, legally kill other human beings. Now we would rather log on and tune out, preferably in the womb-like comfort of a Snuggie, which is the perfect thing to wear as we gaze at photos of kittens while gnawing on delicious cupcakes.”

Hey Vanity Fair, that was a PRIVATE MOMENT. I thought you said we were off the record.
