This was a rough day for Erikas. Thank god I had already done the majority of layout work on this comic last week, because this was basically a lost day comic-wise. I mean, I took care of a couple illustrations that I've owed some people for a while and I gave the interns my lecture on Conventions and Self-Promotion*, so I was productive in some regards. 

But most of the day was pulled out from under me when I woke up from anxiety at 2:30am and then Just Stayed Awake having a mild panic attack(?) until getting ready to leave for work in the morning. But then Matt was all "Honey. No. Go back to bed and try to have a nap" and I was all "But I have work to do, I'll fall behind" and he was all "Either you're going to lose part of your day having a breakdown in the bathroom at work because you didn't get any sleep or you can lose part of your day because you're getting a couple hours of sleep so you don't have a breakdown in the bathroom at work." and I was like "Hm." 

So I went back to bed and slept for an hour-ish or so and then I went to work super late and hardly got anything done BUT I didn't cry today so basically I deserve a medal of honor. 

*If you would like access to this lecture but don't want to intern at Periscope Studio, I made a recording of it a while ago when I gave it to an earlier crop of interns. https://vimeo.com/68958287
