Bad news: I have a migraine.
Good news: The local fast food chain allows you to buy a side of pickles.

POV: Your therapist is a spooky kid
A middle aged woman with longish salt and pepper hair and a septum ring. She is wearing large, bejeweled cat eye glasses, black lipstick, and a choker. She is dressed in a shirt with an Eastern Hellbender on it, covered by a fuzzy black and orange sweater.

Dress for the job you want.

JK I'm a witch every day even though I may not always look like it.
A middle-aged woman is wearing a frilly maroon shirt and a black dress. She has a crocheted witch hat, black lipstick, large cat eye glasses, and a small dragon puppet on her hand.

What's your sign?

Me:
A laminated sign behind a sink reads, "All Employees Must Stop Crying Before Returning to Work"

I woke up feeling tired and grumpy after a long and busy week and a night of poor sleep. This is the affirmation card I pulled for today. #WitchSky
Front and back of an affirmation card from the Spiritual AF deck Front: IT'S UP TO YOU TO FIND THE BEAUTY IN THE UGLIEST DAYS. Back: Everyone's survived some super shitty days. But even when it comes to the crappiest of crap days, if you look back you can pretty much always find something beautiful. Maybe someone was unexpectedly kind to you, or for a split second the startlingly gold sunset made you forget the world was crumbling. Or perhaps there were donuts (with sprinkles!) at your first AA meeting. The trick is to train yourself to spot the beauty in that very moment (AKA real time). It makes the ugly days a little less... ugly.

One of our major rituals for the year took place last night, and then I lightly recreated it for a local UU church this morning.
A long table is set with mismatched placemats and silverware. There are numerous grass dolls down the center of the table, like a table runner. There are multiple cups, tumblers, and water bottles also on the table.

Things have been hard lately. Here, have some Rhythm scritches.

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement today at 2?
A gas pump sign saying "NO PAY! NO LICENSE! Drive away without paying for gas... it could be the last time you drive." There's a man in a Virginia State Trooper uniform with cartoonishly large blue facial hair drawn on.

w/o downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Sometimes, I go outside and lie on my porch to look up at the stars before bed. There's something existentially unsettling and comforting about the vastness of space and my tiny place in it. #nightsky

Repost with a tweet you still think about
@KayAyDrew So my 7yo finally asked for an elf on the shelf and I told her we won't permit fae in the house if we can't determine whether or not they're unseelie and now she's determined to capture one and make deals with it. So that backfired.

I just got back from a magical weekend in a giant house in a tiny town. My heart is full and I want to sleep for a day and a half.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

His name is Rhythm. When he is in his cheese, he becomes The Stinky Cheese Man. Like Clark Kent/Superman... if he were a 12-pound menace.
A grey tabby cat sits in a felt structure that looks like it's made of Swiss cheese. The are multiple cat scratchers in the background.

"I love summer so much," I say as I peel my breasts from my chest and shove a layer of t-shirt between the two in order to soak up the sweat that's pooled there already at 7 am.

I love glow-in-the-dark. I love fidgets. I love glow-in-the-dark fidgets.

Rhythm made me hold his face. He did this to himself.
A grey tabby cat has his face nestled between the thumb and fingers of a human hand. His toes and whiskers are white and he looks like he is wearing white eyeliner.

How your email finds me
A close-up of a creepy doll face. Its eyes are wide and blue and its stare is that of the void. Its smile is not one of joy, but rather a silent scream through clenched teeth.

I'm trying to have fun, I swear. (This Asheville Tourists giveaway shirt is doing some heavy lifting today.)
A close-up of a button-up shirt with plumeria, palm trees, suns, and cartoon moon faces. The text says "Yesterday was not a good day. At all. I'm apprehensive about today being Suck2.0, so I am wearing the silliest work-appropriate shirt I own." A middle-aged white woman has her salt-and-pepper hair pulled back and is wearing cat eye glasses with rhinestones on the corners. She has a goofy smirk on her face and her eyes look tired. She is wearing a brightly colored, short-sleeved button-up shirt with plumeria, suns, palm trees, and cartoon moon faces on it. She has a carabiner with an excessive amount of keys and a small guacamole Squishmallow clipped to her Khaki pants. She is holding a mason jar with the label of a local business that contains homemade cold brew. She is in a mirrored elevator, so there are many reflections behind her.
