I just realized, I don't have to grade the thing that requires high level spell slots tonight. I can grade the other thing that equally needs grading and do the other tomorrow once I've gotten those spell slots back. #ADHD

If Andy Beshear can stand on trans rights in Kentucky, there's no excuse for the transphobia exhibited by Amy Acton in Ohio, James Talarico in Texas, and especially Gavin Newson in California. If a politician opposes trans rights, they should have no place in the Democratic party.

I keep trying to get ahead of things for the classes I'm teaching, but I just can't seem to get there. If only I didn't need the second job and wasn't stressing over income despite having 2 jobs. It's so depressing having 2 jobs and still being underemployed.

Why do job applications have to ask you to talk about praise and criticism you've received? Why can't they just keep that for the interview where I can be visibly awkward while I answer the question? Why is it easier to apply for teaching positions than a job at Half-Price Books?

I got everything ready for ASL next week. In other times, this would be a relief and I could move on. Today, it's a huge accomplishment. I just wish I could find a better second job in academia so I can just stay in academic/teaching mode. I hate being underemployed at the grocery store! #burnedout

Grrrr. I finally have the pattern I need to make my Darkwing Duck coat. Turns out I'm a yard short on fabric and the online store I bought it from is gone. Now I have to set money aside to order more fabric. 😡😡😡😡 I guess I'll work on the cape instead. On a different day.

You have an app on your phone that makes a short noise every hour so your #ADHD doesn't blind you to time. You play a game that's a little louder than you need, so you turn your phone down. Then you wonder why the chime isn't going off....

25 years ago I was just starting college. It was actually the week before classes started because Ohio State was still on quarters and started about halfway through September. I wasn't able to just sit in front of the TV that day, but I've watched so many documentaries. I didn't want to do that today. Today I wanted to focus on something positive from that time.

I have so much I want to get done, so I'm letting the #ADHD dictate what to do. It's easier than fighting it right now as I recover from #DragonCon2026. It doesn't help that I taught already and I have the other job later. I need to win the lottery.

Another DragonCon in the books! I wasn't sure if I'd wear any costumes because of my part in the conference, but I took a few anyway because of the guest lineup. I ended up in my SG-13 uniform on Friday because hubby and I got to the SG-1 panel that day, which was so much fun. I also found out that SG-13 were a team of Marines, which made me go "Okay, I need to get a new patch." My hubby got me SG-13 years ago, but he forgot they were a specific team on the show.

It's Friday evening and I'm really feeling my aca-fan this year at DragonCon.

I love being an aca-fan!
I'm almost done with the first full day of DragonCon. I started the day moderating a panel was simply planning on attending because my colleague who was supposed to moderate might not have been here yet or got in really late and couldn't make it. Luckily, I managed to get a great night's sleep, so I haven't even needed a nap today.
