urocyonI'm absolutely exhausted today, probably from seriously overdoing it yesterday because I just about could. Not the best plan, obviously, but a really hard pattern to break out of.
Many of us are familiar with the perils of The Myth of the Strong Black Woman. Well, I've got my own eerily similar version going. "[R]esponsible for the day-to-day operation"? Still happens, but without much credit or support. And this is usually still considered a good thing. (And soon enough, that thread got down to the all-too-familiar daily stuff.)
Some really fun intersections with disability there, oh my.
Today, I'm trying to take care of myself too, and rest since I need it. Without phrasing things in terms of "if I don't recuperate some, I'll be no good to anybody else". Bleh. Some balance is good.
And, on the lighter (and more squee-inducing) side of things:
