A log of my learnings and life, with some fiction blended in. Written as I go through my day. If you want to say hi or leave a message, you can use the ...
Up until this point this blog has been kind of a life blog. I didn't hate that, nor felt that I should change it either. But I also recognized that it wasn't going to stay that way. I'm the type of person that likes having projects. Things I work on, and goals to work towards. I knew that I wouldn't be able to get a good handle on that while my partner and I were still working on moving out of his…
It's been a string of really good and fun events in my life lately. There's also been quite a bit of bad and concerning things, but I've been able to manage them a lot better than I would have just a month ago. This new mindset I'm gaining after the move has allowed me to focus more on my life and what I'm doing, which has been both enjoyable and exhausting. :) Someone with a low social and…
Now that we've somewhat settled into the apartment I'm slowly restarting a lot of my hobbies and habits, but that's made writing about them pretty difficult! Some days there's nothing to say, other days there's a lot. I'll try and keep it to the important stuff while I continue to get settled. Work My year long project has started in earnest now and it's taking all that I have not to feel…
The theme of this past week and a half is definitely "trying hard is hard." Which, if you don't play Guilty Gear then you probably haven't heard this fun song in Strive. It's become a quick favorite of mine. After a couple of clumsy days where I tried to be productive and failed, and then a Wednesday night where for some reason I got no sleep, I feel back on track today. I'm going to get the…
If you forgot about this ear worm, you're welcome. Skipping over the many highs and lows of the last few days, all I can say is that moving is ridiculous. The amount of forgetting that's been happening and money burning is totally balanced by how great I feel and how good the apartment is looking and feeling to live in. But this morning was another moment that reminded me that being an imperfect…
(I wrote this blog post for Saturday, May 9th, but I forgot to hit publish!) After all those weeks of planning and stress and waiting, today feels like the first real weekend in a minute. We do still have to go out to Costco with a friend later to purchase some much needed stuff, and get a membership card. But I'm hoping that goes smoothly and doesn't take too much time. Hades will not appreciate…
Okay, today's off to a much better start. Easy to do when I remember I have to work and also get groceries. I do want to try and go as many days as I can without buying groceries because I have a tendency to...over stock the fridge. >.> Cooking just gets me so excited. I bought some apples that were on sale, and sliced mushrooms that I should cook soon. I want to spend some time finding fun ways…
Well I can't say I didn't see today's depression coming. There has been a lot of stress and a lot to do, and nonstop action and movement for days. Obviously something about my mental was going to collapse. Today it happened after realizing that I was supposed to come back to work today. Luckily I work remotely so it was just a matter of logging on. And my boss, and my team, were super…
To keep things brief, I am still off from work until Thursday. I was going to (happily) spend today cooking and unboxing more stuff, but I was thrown off schedule by serious body pain (Wow, getting old is not a joke. This move is going to take me a week to recover from, minimum) and a very weird interaction from someone I thought was a friend. Just suddenly I found myself in a text conversation…
All the boxes are in!! Big thank you to our friend who helped drive the UHaul. You made it all possible. And I know you're reading this. :D The picture above was the refreshments table I made for our friend and the boyfriend to help push them through getting the boxes in. It took us the entire 3 hour window the building gave us, but we finished right on time. Unpacking is the real final hurdle,…
