    Got my meds refilled, got more toothpaste and a store reward card (because I might as well), and cleaned the fridge. Also removed what felt like a metric ton of expired stuff from the fridge in the process.

    Also, I discovered a deep loathing for whoever designs fridge shelves because it is flat-out impossible to completely clean them; there's some parts that are just not user-accessible, but which are open enough to allow liquids and small fragments of crap in.

    Could you flush out the part with hot water?

    Speaking of, that's what I'm doing to all corners of my kitchen after finding maggot infestation. Overcame panic attack about them on my own!

    Athol Magarac I prefer reading posts without a lot of topics.

    I took a shower today. Happened to be before hubby got up but I'm over doing extreme measures to stay out of his way. Then I let him (requested) drag me to his job-site. (He was troubleshooting the guest wi-fi at a touristy spot... the only thing about that that wasn't a lie was that I could wander around the property on a weekday morning with a SLR around my neck without getting harassed.)

    He thanked me for making coffee. I got confused because I was making coffee for myself and standard procedure is that when I want weekday morning coffee, his mug gets filled.

    The end result of previous productivity: I got my passport in the mail, so I'm all prepared to travel places besides US/Canada/Mexico.

    I went to the gym for the first time ever today! And when I got back I tidied the kitchen and made tea and also did a bunch of things on my to-do list which included a thing that involved a phone call that I usually wouldn't have energy for?? The gym did good things for my brain, apparently???

    I accidentally picked up 3x as many prescriptions as I was planning on. I guess it's good, got it done, no need to run out the pharmacy on Friday night now, but it's also a bit annoying because I wasn't planning on bringing home a temperature-sensitive medication today. Luckily I left my cooler with two icepacks in the lab, so I'm okay to transport it home. Inadvertent good planning because I was like "fuck carrying that thing home today" for all of last week.

    Located the manual for my sewing machine and procured machine oil. Figured out the spool cap is missing and I need to procure a replacement.

    Manually operating the wheel and the pedal work, but once I fasten them to each other the motion stops dead in its tracks.

    I cleaned my room! There's still a weird smell in the bathroom, and I have no idea where it comes from or how to get rid of it, but it's finally actually usable as a studio apartment. (Mostly. There's no enclosure for the shower)

    Updated the Corsican translation of Mastodon, and officially now have better coverage than the French one, which is pretty cool given that I'm basically doing the thing alone.
