Community group stuff almost up to date. Writing has been derailed but, frustratingly, that's par for the course on my Mondays.

Today I'm mostly catching up on tasks for the two community groups I'm part of, including attending a trustee meeting later. Also have shop admin tasks and trying to get some writing done as well. Avoiding the absolute clusterfuck of the wider world is vital to me getting anything at all done.

Why do I forget that dehydrating myself to control my IBS then has some unfortunate issues? I think my kidney hates me.

Running a social for writers in the shop tonight. I didn't want to do it again because the first one was so stressful for me. This one only has a few booked on, so I imagine it's going to be worse. Thing is, I'm not a social writer. At least not currently. I use all my extrovert points on serving coffee. Otherwise, I want to be left alone.

@kimlockhartga@beige.party It's definitely a thing indie authors are nudged towards. "Write in series because they sell better" is the general ethos in indie writing groups.

Got home at the same time a relative called about the death in the family. I’m stressed and the idea of going to a memorial service in a literal shed while my IBS kicks off is terrifying me. And my dad’s been worried that the cancer has a hereditary component and would affect me (it doesn’t).

Later I’ll have the local LGBT+ org members dropping in. This is what I want on my Saturdays. Inclusion and community.

Well, one of the people I've pissed off over the last week seems to be telling her group members that she's moving her groups because I'm closing the shop. Not because she massively overstepped and put my business in danger. With me about to start negotiations with my landlord about renewal, I've now got rumours circulating that I won't be here for much longer. Making my life a little bit harder, yay.
