Someone give me an award · 5:57am Feb 28th, 2016
I have had a day.
It's nearly midnight and after working on the house after a day at competition, I'm pretty much ready to pass out. However, my nerves are too frayed and I deserve to relax, so here I am.
My morning jump started with me having an anxiety attack as soon as I woke up at 5:45 AM (after being kept late by random house projects), when the school bus would be leaving a "6 AM sharp", as said by my sponsor/teacher. I rushed out in a tizzy, somehow managing to casually say my goodbyes and ran to the school. I arrived breathless and cold, then wrapped myself up in a blanket and stayed bundled up until we got to the competition, which was two hours away.
We arrived sometime after 8 AM, and I immediately made a nest on the floor next to one of the few outlets in the gathered area for competitors. Contest went on, as usual. I competed, I didn't place, and I spent the time between breaks and after competing playing Injustice: Gods Among Us while talking to friends. Finally, we made it back home at 5:30 PM and I walked home, not wanting to sit on the bus for another second.
Then, I arrived home to see my room in total disarray and found I had chores waiting for me.
So, after managing to get everything to a modicum of control and finally getting some peace and quiet, I'm sitting here, typing this out and snacking on some nice cookies and milk... I'm probably gonna be up for a bit watching RuPaul's Drag Race. Again. I deserve an award for not crying today.
Well, at least you made it.
Chin up. It's always darkest before the dawn.
You did a pretty good job staying solid.
