The Ink-Pot and the Palette

That certainly crossed my mind, and it's probably at least part of the problem (though I'm not sure I ever had much confidence in the ability of others to see me clearly). There was another incident, too, on Friday night--a small online thing that was triggery--which didn't fully register with me at the time, but should have prompted me to take some actions.

A good night's sleep (with an extra hour in it! \o/) has gone a long way towards readjusting my spirits--though heaven help anyone who annoys me today, because I'm still a wee bit edgy.
