I’m so damn miserable. I hate everything

Good news is the dry cough has stopped. The bad news is I spiked a pretty nasty fever over night. It’s back to almost normal, but I am wiped out.

Beyond frustrating. She needs help that I can not give her. But she’s done this to so many other people they’ve given up.

I had a scheduled day off today for working Sunday. And even if I didn’t, I’d be out sick.

Guess who didn't show up for the appointment they made and now is asking me for an appointment tomorrow?

If there is anything I wish I could make people understand: your failures do stay confined to you. No matter how much you think otherwise, problems unaddressed become someone else's problem. They don't magically go away. Life is a closed system. Everything goes somewhere.

The world is full of Dr. Frankensteins. People who drive away and ignore what they can't face. A lot of big cities are just the blind old man who teaches those cast-offs how to read. Yet somehow, those Frankensteins bemoan the old man as if he is the one in the wrong.

The most clear and concise words on this I've heard in a long time. Bravo!

It's also roughly 50,000 degrees. So while I'm counting the minutes until I can just be home and cocoon, I remember it is too hot to cocoon.

I seem to have developed a dry cough, and I'm tired, and one of my other teammates is sick so I have to play tonight, and a student (who always cancels on me at the last minute) booked an appointment late enough that I have no time to go home before curling... this is a dark timeline.

The chapel plays The Bells of St Mary’s at 9:30 before going off for the night until morning. It’s been awhile since I’ve heard it. I only wish I didn’t need to need to be back on campus by the time they ring again

Sarah @schtimpy27.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I've got 10more of these to read before I'm off at 9. They need to be done. I can not have them lingering. The students need them back. I need to be done. THIS is why I get paid (however meagerly). I'd teach for free. I have a price for angst of assessment.

Sarah @schtimpy27.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I'm proud to say it is very clear that some of my students did not use AI on their latest assignments. I'm sad to say I can tell because, holy cow, that was some crimes against grammar I haven't seen in some time.

Are we sure he met Jesus? Because the burning fire sure sounds like the other guy. Maybe he's due to head to that other place.

Sarah @schtimpy27.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Y’all, I’m really sad about Lyle Odelein. He was one of my first favorites. That guy battled and survived a lot he shouldn’t have. Rest easy, dude.

I finished an afterwork swim and got back to my office to get my stuff. I spilled my creatine powder all over my desk. I’m too tired to clean it right now. So it looks like there’s coke all over my desk. But the people I work with know I don’t make enough money for there to be coke all over my desk

It’s parents weekend (which is now a thing at colleges?) and I’m disturbed that all these visiting parents are like my age.

Sarah @schtimpy27.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That is all incoherent babble. Blah blah blah. Things are really bad and I can dwell on it or I can get up and have a day. It’s not in me to dwell. Dwelling just makes it hurt more.

Sarah @schtimpy27.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Some days the nihilism tries really hard to win. I wallow a bit here and there. I’m scared every day. But that kid over there still needs helping printing, and it’s not my job, but the reality is he needs help and I can give it.

Sarah @schtimpy27.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It’s not right that that man is president. And it’s not right that I lost freedoms by being a woman. And it’s not right that some drunk guy hit my sister and ruined all that worked for. It’s not right. It’s not fair. It shouldn’t be that way. But it is that way.

Sarah @schtimpy27.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It actually doesn’t matter. The game has changed, the situation is dire. And it sucks that what we have put in means nothing. But my past service doesn’t pay the bill that is late. It’s not right and it’s not fair. But when is reality right or fair?

Sarah @schtimpy27.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I have a colleague who is always hung up on how things aren’t fair and shouldn’t be a certain way and how all that they’ve done doesn’t seem to matter. And I finally broke a bit..

My takeaway from the 3rd period of the flyers-penguins game from the treadmill: Sydney Sweeney is meh at best. That commercial, playing ad nauseam, is banking on her being something special but there are three hotter girls in this gym right now.

After work yesterday, I went for a quick hike on Mt Diablo to see any tarantulas. They only come out a few weeks a year. Didn’t see any until we got back to the parking lot. Terrified a friend with this pic.

Happy 5pm eastern time on Penguins game day to all that celebrate

Some dead trees are being removed from behind my building, and I heard a chainsaw, then yelling, then a tree crash. I looked out the window and dude is running from the underbrush clutching his chest (and at least smiling). I think they didn't expect the dead tree to fall that direction.

The good news is leagues grew enough that we have to have split leagues and four teams have to play 9-11 Monday night twice a league Bad news is it’s my team’s turn.

Either the stress/anxiety is getting to me or my anemia is acting up. I have an elephant sitting on my chest and haven’t been able to get a full deep breath in days

Sarah @schtimpy27.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

And on paramount+. So now I know what I’m doing tonight instead of what I need to be doing.

100%. There is also a ghost of a James Dean/Elvis hybrid living in the Chevy. And a goofy mechanic saves the day. But spoiler alert: everyone lives in the end.

Ha! I got 97%. Apparently I’d like Uruguay.

Houses around here are rarely that big and rarer that new. Not sure how much of a market there is for that is this neighborhood. But some tech people will buy it.

I needed this laugh. F- me, I love birds. But I didn’t realize I only love them from the side www.reddit.com/r/Birdsfacin...

The Beast in Me was really good, but I don’t see how it gets a second season. Because * light spoiler alert * it’s kind of over.

Giant leap going electric without home charging. 280 miles per charge was the tipping point. Plus chargers are work (though they fill up fast). If after a year or two it’s too nuts, I’ll rethink. But so far, it’s great.

I’m still bonding with the new guy, but it’s going well. A name finally stuck. Werner Anschließen. He’s kind of a drab grey, so Werner has been a great fit. Anschließen is the German for plugging in an appliance. And has the cool ß

Handled all the DMV paperwork and officially signed the title to Ludwig Von Lopez the wunder Jetta to Nephew #1. It doesn’t feel real yet, but I know they’ll have a great life together. 14 years together is hard to let go of, so I’m happy he’s still in the family.

Need 9 more to see if they also pre-picked Yolo.

Oh no. The chills and sensitive skin are here

Immune systems are a trip. I can literally feel it engaging with the injected science

Sarah @schtimpy27.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

And that’s basically what it comes down to. Maybe libs need to start hyping up rolling coal.

I feel bad for our delivery drivers and ranchers (we actually do have a few) and everyday people in normal cars. Those folks did it to themselves.

Sarah @schtimpy27.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

It’s making the anxiety of my new car decision a bit less stringing. But, I haven’t had to charge yet. So it’s easy now. Next week I’ll bee freaking out
