555: This is a very lucky number in feng shui, so much so that there’s a cigarette brand named 555.
Today I struggle to return to the common world. Post-fest I'm bleary and short tempered. I’ve always thought this is something unaddressed in fantasy fiction. When the kids come back from Narnia or Hogwarts or wherever, I’d imagine they’d go through depression bouts, ptsd etc. After risking so much, expending so much, succeeding in genuine moments of heroism (the diabetic response literally saved a life) experiencing a world of magic and beauty, it’s rough returning to the mundane. So here I am.
Today is catching up at work, a telemeet, then over to my mom’s. That’ll be the hardest. She just called to bug me about more banking issues and there’s no way to explain to her what’s happening. Now I’m upset.
The common world sucks.
