First and foremost, does anyone know how to get the smell of cigarette smoke out of a car?! We just got an ugly little sedan whose previous owner smoked in, and then tried to cover up the smell with cheap perfume. It's nasty!

In other news...I'm so busy I can't catch a breath. It's nice, always having something to do, but I'm exhausted. I haven't gotten more than 5 hours of sleep in a couple of weeks and I'm starting to feel tired every day - which is unusual for me, so I know something's gotta give! I'm down to a (slightly) more manageable work schedule starting this week, though, so hopefully I can make some changes.

I love my jobs...on the other hand, my SO quit his (I'm not sure if I said anything about it or not) for a few reasons (one of which being the fact he hated it after a couple years, but mostly conflict with school). He's so happy to be out of that place, and I am glad he's out too, but he has yet to apply anywhere else. It's only been a few weeks, but it's stressing me out already. I want to bring it up with him, casually, but that will be difficult, due to the NEXT thing on my little bloggy-vent list.

My SO has chronic depression and anxiety and the past few months these have shot through the roof. Sometimes I feel like I'm walking on eggshells around him and I feel like I can't help him enough. I've been depressed, but even having a past full of it isn't helping me handle myself and assist him effectively. Sometimes I feel like I have been making things about myself entirely...I miss sex. And kisses. I miss time with him - though having all my hours booked really limits that one!

It's getting more autumny here which is really exciting. Got my first apples today, and will be baking them I believe...or eating them with peanut butter tonight, as "dinner." I'm not motivated to make real meals this week or something. Equinox is fast approaching - Zeph, I'll have to talk to you. It's on a weekend (right? I can't count) - woohoo.

Ugh, okay, I have to go off and do some more work stuff -- oof. Maybe I'll add more to this later. Thanks for reading.
