Hey, Miss J!

I’m sitting here and just realized that I already completed my reading for tonight… last night.

Ugh. I suppose that means I have time now to take care of other things. I’m still waiting to see what’s going on with the hot water tank. Freezing cold showers are still very much a thing.

I’m beginning to debate if I should take two cold showers a day or not.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get any writing done last night. Or much of anything else.

This is a quick update before I forget.

Today, I…

• Loaded the dishwasher twice.
• Did 1 load of laundry.
• Cleaned the litter box.
• Checked on status of new hot water tank. I want to cry rn.
• Cooked dinner. Breakfast was fruit and lunch was nonexistent.
• Chopped up a free cabbage and some carrots for stir fry. Now have excess cabbage in the freezer.
• Weighed myself. Happy I only gained like 4 lbs. Uncertain how much were my clothes.
• Showered. It may not seem like a lot, but it’s good that I try to shower at least once every 2 days. Going to try to shower daily, even though the water feels like straight up ice.
• Joined friends on Zoom.
• ‘Ate’ my pills today. Including my antidepressant and mood stabilizer… and all of the supplements I take so my kidneys are working. One of my meds can cause seizures and three of them cause constipation or diarrhea.
• Researched what generation I’m in.
• Brush teeth. It may not seem like much, but it’s really a good thing that I’m trying to keep up my dental hygiene now.
• Chatted with a bestie on the phone.
• Tested for Autism and ADHD. Looks like I might have both. Results on test for Dyslexia negligible. Suggested to consult my physician.
• Logged back into Facebook and my email account.
• Watched a bunch of YT shorts and long vids that reminded me why life outside seems so scary.
• Fidgeted like crazy – as usual.
• Ordered new CPAP supplies.
• Loaded up new stuff in Amazon.com cart… of course, did not purchase any of it.

All in all, it’s been a pretty productive day.

What I need to do tonight is…

• Clean the cat box.
• Pull all the trash.
• Collect the recycling.
• Set another load of laundry in the washing machine.
• Set the morning alarm.
• Pay bills.
  • Cry cos ‘no moneh’ save for bills and a few household necessities.
    • Figure out what other household necessities are umm… needed.
• Watch more “Prairie”.
• Pen out a schedule for tomorrow and try to follow it.
• Do my blog!
• Do the dishes.
• Load the dishwasher. The above “do the dishes” is not the same.
• Slice up fresh loaf of bread.
• Additional laundry.
• Change the sheets.
• Prep for the next loaf of bread. Minus the water, oil and yeast.
• Clean out the CPAP tank.
• Update ALL the calendars with information on doctor’s appointments, etc.
• Take nerve pain medication. It doubles as anti-anxiety.
• Eat goat cheese with my fresh bread.
• Put away laundry… I dunno if I can do this one tonight, but I’ll try!

Looking over the lists, I really did do a lot today. I’m pretty impressed with myself. Writing might be on the backorder again… on Wednesday. I’m promising nothing for tonight!

I’m watching one of those vids again when people end up receiving back what they’ve put out. I think this one is MacText Air.
