The good news is that once things settle down a bit, so will the #ocd. The internet is hopefully being turned on by the end of the day, I can be in my office and concentrate, and I can start working on those damn rituals now that I recognize them. 4/4

This semester I have 2 new course preps, am running for school board, am co-writing a textbook, and our internet at work has been down for 10 days and counting - working from home has been harder than usual. So it's no wonder my #ocd is all jacked up to 11. 3/4

I've mentioned before that my #ocd is usually fine and we're friends. I don't do any ritualizing and everything is awesome. But when stress levels go up (like the beginning of the semester), so does the #ocd severity. 2/4

You'd think that after living with #ocd and being in #academia for most of my adult life, I would remember that August is prime time for it to flare up and would pay better attention. Yet, yesterday I realized I've developed 2 new rituals without noticing and was surprised. 1/4

I wasn’t able to make it to #icvm2023 in Cairns because $$$$ and had major FOMO. Finding some TimTams at a grocery store up in Erie helps a bit. #timtamslam
