I have a bunch of leftover anxiety from Friday's therapy session that I haven't been able to shake.

I didn't do much of anything today except I scanned two rolls of film. Except for some of the photos I had the wrong scanner settings, so I trashed them and I'll have to rescan. I wonder if anyone else would ever notice the difference.

I'm proud of you for doing the hard work, Tom, even though it has tough symptoms as you're going through it.

I bet no one would have noticed, but as an artist myself, I think it's worth putting in the effort even if only you would know. People respond to things in subconscious ways sometimes, even if they don't quite get why they're reacting as they are.

I feel like I did barely anything today, but that's not really so. My big revelation was that I have more things planned than there are literal hours in the day. Without accounting for sleep, hygiene, or sustenance. So that's untenable, and also I should no longer feel guilty about not getting them all done. But also I need to figure out my priorities so I do get done what's necessary.

Tom, I have no idea if I'd notice or not (since I didn't -- and rightly won't, if you're not happy with them -- see your first set of scans), but I respect the shit out of you for working for your vision.

And for shooting film, for that matter, which I love and only do a few times a year (and half the time forget to get developed at all!)

Dan was watching a really bad Amish horror movie. The hero guy cast a protective circle using lemons. I don't know why.

Was he trying to protect himself from spiders or bugs?

Nope, just ARGH SCURVY EVIL.

I actually like the idea of holy lemons.

Squirt it in the eye of a demon, get extra damage?

I can't take any more decongestant, but I can't breathe. Ugh. Please don't anyone suggest a saline rinse, I've been pouring salt water in my face all day. It isn't helping.

Maybe lemons...?

If you have a cat that you believe needs metaphysical protection, the Cat Museum of San Francisco will add your cat's name to the list of cats under the protective paw of Bastet (though requests are currently suspended until April 15): [link]

If you're bored, reading the list of cats' names is incredibly entertaining. (Although I'm just going to say that naming your cat Caligula is asking for a world of hurt.)

In related to what Steph has to say about crazy cat-ness, the Hogwarts Running Club's run this month is a Dolores Umbridge theme. The medal is pink and has a moving cat plate, like in Umbridge's office. You can see the medal here: [link] The charity it supports is My Stuff Bag which puts together duffels for kids in foster care. So fun.

I want to use Holy Lemons as a new mild swear.

I saw that Hogwarts race on FB tonight! I would definitely have to do it in many parts.
