Well, I could have done a laundry today- hamper is getting fullish- but I slept in past ten and it was going on noon by the time I was exercised and fed, and the wildfire smoke was supposed to reach us midafternoon. The fact that I was already smelling woodsmoke seemed less like fires and more like people messing about with house building. So I went and got my prescription that the drugstore now emails me reminders of-- and won't let me have any earlier than when they say, which frets my belt and braces soul. I want to know I have it on hand a fortnight ahead of time. Mind, these are one a day meds, so the pharmacy knows when I'm due to run out.
And then I futzed about and decided I wanted a hamburger, so trundled down to Pour Boy and had chicken and rice vermicelli and veg instead. And by that time the light was looking eclipse-like and the sun was westering in orange haze, so I put my mask back on and came home.
Have still not called the junk guys to remove the wood from my old deck, nor the furnace people to ask why the furnace fan clunks when it turns off. I grow increasingly feral and contact avoidant and don't know what to do about it. Though I'm seeing petronia tomorrow and that might jumpstart something.

Stress but somehow necessary. I begin to see how extroverts operate. Other people give off something that is needed for survival, that one inhales somehow. Only not all people do, and they're the ones who drain.

Extroverts in general are drainers-- self-admitted as such-- but they can also be emitters. Extroverts get energy from other people and quite often pass it back. But what I gain from emitters isn't energy exactly. It's a sense of the world being wider or different: a voice that isn't my own, that's different from the constant one in my head.
The drainers can be extrovert or introvert. They're the ones who demand your involvement whether you have the energy for it or not. Or who talk at you, not to you: talk for the sake of making a noise. They don't require involvement but equally won't shut up. Or the self-centred, or the bores: basically people who don't regard the other person as anything but a warm body to yap at. Exhausting.
