yesterday and today i've worked on the haphazard beginnings of turning the family dog into an almost-service dog.* i've got the foundations for speak, leave it, and under tentatively sketched out now 8) *i'm going to end up w/ a service dog and i want practice first, dangit. and my parents get a better trained dog out of the deal, so.
I managed to catch a nippy runaway hamster without getting bit with only a flashlight and plastic mixing bowl.
FINALLY managed to break up the package of chicken I bought a while ago enough to get some started marinating and the rest individually ziplocked and stuck back in the freezer. I really need to stop buying in bulk and then freezing the whole package.
I worked for 5 hours on 3 hours sleep today. The reason i'm telling you this, is that it explains the following statement. I read "chicken" as "Children" at first.
dropped off the work car in the proper place, sent my boss my notes, picked up my prescriptions, bought some skim milk powder so i can at least have milk for tea. also set up my new insulin pump, in the morning i will get the data off my old one and take it to the post office to be sent off. whew
I called the SSI office and set up an appointment for filling out my SSI forms! someone give me a gold star
i went down to the local community college and completed a step in their registration red tape. college is hard
I finished a drawing and did another quick half hour drawing even when i'd decided to take the day off and not have to draw!! I did a thing because I wanted to and felt inspired and not out of a giant battle with my executive dysfunction!!!!!!
I cleaned the trash can with bleach and paid rent/parking/a dental bill. Then I had to scrub the tub because I washed the trash can in the tub. Then I had to do the sink too because it was there.
i got showered and dressed in clean clothes! and did a load of laundry. now i'm going to go get clothes for the year.
Dropped off some paperwork, picked up my prescriptions, recycled my old broken phone, and sent an email. And interacted with like 5 people in the process wow.
Put laundry in washing machine even tho it was evening, and hung it up even tho I'm almost falling asleep. (Jokes on me, I need the undies)
Laundry before going to an appointment. Hoping to figure out how to pay a bill so i can get that out of the way too.
Finished content & citations for Part 2 of 3 of my engineering thesis today, and sent to my advising professor. This feels like a big milestone because, although it's super short (8 pages of content, 24 pages with figures and references--welcome to the world of technical papers, lol) it's taken me an absurdly long time to finish--3-4 weeks. It was supposed to take 1-2. That's mainly because of a whole bunch of shit that went down with my mom in addition to being hit very suddenly with a whole crapload of anxiety and depression and executive dysfunction. And all of that has happened during the time it took to write this fucking part of this fucking paper. I don't know. It's probably wishful thinking, but the fact that I'm done with Part 2 makes me hope that I'm turning over a new page...that all the bad stuff associated with this particular chunk of writing will start to diminish now that the writing's over. At the very least, I can stop associating this part of the writing with all the stressful shit I've been going through.
