My new library is having a potluck and the theme is “family recipes” so I just spent 2 hours making a British trifle from scratch because I am extra.

How long does it take to do a urine culture? I peed in a cup Saturday morning and the result is still pending.

I would like to go to sleep but have developed an intense itch on the back of my leg. The only medicine available to me is a lidocaine roll-on. My parents are asleep, otherwise I would be rummaging around for Benadryl.

I put this together! Then I took it apart, fixed it and put it back together the right way.

The best part of any new job is exploring the limitations of the cantankerous laminator.

I can’t wait to meet this volunteer. What a great attitude!

A teenage circ worker told me I have amazing energy. Is this the Stepford Library?

Oh! I meant to tell you that I have a coworker who looks like he’s wearing eyeliner just like JD Vance! I even directed my eyeballs in the direction of his eyeballs to doublecheck. He is not wearing makeup but the effect of long dark lashes and bright blue eyes really does make it seem that way.

Working in the South is different, especially around LGBTQ issues. I was happy to find another Bi person on staff yesterday, for moral support! Here, have a Bisexual Pride Possum!

Today, out of the blue, my new office mate told me “I’m glad you’re here.” I thought I was going to faint. Anyway, that’s today’s dispatch from the South.

I’ve been so busy. Good busy. No time to check in with my pocket friends. I hope you’re all well!

So tempted to stream the new Maintenance Phase to my hearing aids during the rest of this orientation.

Amy @amygee.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Well, I feel oriented. I don’t know what else they’re going to teach me!

I gotta agree. I got to NC around 2:00 today and I haven’t seen the least little bit of lawlessness.

Made it to Mom and Dad’s in one piece. The car is unloaded but unpacking will have to wait til after this nap.

You know you’re not in New England anymore when the hotel breakfast buffet serves biscuits and gravy!

I bet im the only person in Winchester VA wearing a bi pride flag T-shirt featuring William Shakespeare. I’m probably the only person in the whole world doing so, since I made it myself.

I’ve been driving all day. Why can’t I SLEEP???

Amy @amygee.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Oh, btw, there is a Grimes, PA. There is also an Elon, NC. Make of that what you will.

I need Waze to start warning me about exit only lanes coming up. Maybe I wouldn’t have had such a lovely tour of Anytown, MD this afternoon.

Amy @amygee.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I only have a sample size of 2 but I think it’s time to admit: door dash cannot handle a milkshake. Anyway…I stopped for the night in VA. I think I peed in every Sheetz available. I am now eating my sad Five Guys and contemplating bed.

I am asking for prayers for my friend Joan, who experienced a stroke last night.

I have a job that Claude or whatever could probably do. The trouble is, would it do it correctly? If I have to research the results for accuracy I might as well do the damn thing in the first place.

Yesterday morning I heard “Barely Breathing” at Staples and thought “I wonder what happened to this guy.” Sadly, now I know. Was Staples playing it in tribute or was it a weird coincidence?

I do not have the bandwidth for anybody else’s crisis. I may look calm and composed but I’m one family drama away from a full on meltdown.

Amy @amygee.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

What were we thinking, planning a party the night before I move?

Amy @amygee.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I have received more information about the HR orientation: bring a sweater. The conference room is chilly. Ok, but, like do I bring a lunch? Do you feed us? Is there a cafeteria? (Priorities, people!)

There’s an AI guy here and he is such a douche.

My kitchen is magical. No matter how many boxes I fill with pots and pans and rolling pins and colanders my cupboards are still full! Currently wishing I was a witch so I could walk my house down there on chicken feet.

Trump says the cities in NC are blood-soaked killing fields so now I’m super excited to move to W-S this weekend.

Amy @amygee.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Phil casually mentioned that the people buying our house were approved for their loan and I was like, hold up, there was a chance they wouldn’t be and we’d have to start all over again?

020

Amy @amygee.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I have to pack everything I own so of course I am making elaborate lists with my new metallic ink joy pens. I don’t think Vyvanse is very good.

When the realtor staged our bathroom she left a weird, white, spiky ceramic sculpture on the counter. We made fun of it all month. After she de-staged our house it was left behind. We let her know and she said it was ours. She found it on a shelf in he bathroom and just moved it to the counter.

I finally figured out why I am so tired and yet wired: decision fatigue. I have been evaluating and deciding for weeks now. I think talking my large supply of old lotions and chapsticks broke me.

At my massage today my therapist was working her way down my back and there was a loud crack. I almost understood the appeal of chiropractic. Then I remembered it was invented by a ghost and that was that.

Got a headache the size of Pittsburgh so my man is bringing me a tuna melt, one of my comfort foods.

My older kid is a jeweler and he has his first show this weekend. Things are very stressful and up in the air for a variety of reasons and I’d just appreciate if you could spare a thought for a young autistic artist getting started. He makes weird little guys:

I read through my new employee document and the most important info is that I am not allowed to wear flip flops or install After Dark screensavers.

I love how I only discover that my Mounjaro is no longer covered by insurance when I tried to refill it on the CVS app. Someone could have let me know, maybe? Now I’m waiting for a call back from the pharmacy. If I have to fight with Aetna over this 3 days before moving I will lose my shit. Lose it.

Packing up my kitchen has me pondering life’s great questions: Can cocoa powder go bad? What was I going to do with all this coconut sugar? Why do I keep buying whole wheat flour?

There are so many little built in storage spaces that seemed so cute when we moved in but that are now hidey holes for all kinds of crap that I need to go through. I know at least one drawer is full of shoeshining supplies. I can’t remember the last time either of us shined shoes!

Inadvertently get an Ed Sheeran song stuck in your head? Try listening to XTC’s Mayor of Simpleton. I don’t know if it will banish the earworm but you’ll have a significantly better time.

You know, the only negative idea about redheads I grew up with was that they shouldn’t wear pink*. I don’t know what the rest of you are on about. *they should wear whatever the fuck they want.

Amy @amygee.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I’ve been bumbling around all day wondering why I feel so out of sorts and it just occurred to me: maybe I’m sad because I said goodbye to my therapist today. Alexithymia for the win. Maybe if I’d been able to have a good cry this morning I wouldn’t have spent the day drifting around like a ghost.

Amy @amygee.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

After I start my job next week I’m not going to get health insurance until Nov 1. I think we’re eligible for Phil’s Aetna til then but what a stupid patchwork system we have.

Amy @amygee.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I had what I thought was a great idea for my blog but it was in that liminal state just before sleep so not only have I forgotten it there is a chance it was something like “history of mashed potatoes.”

Did you know that it’s a very rare side effect of the Covid vaccine to develop a weird taste in your mouth? Guess how I know this.
