today's plans:
✅ breakfast
- take out recycling
✅ post pictures for fiberuary​
✅ put away clean dishes
- #HebrewStudy?
- make living room livable again

I have therapy soon, then a couple hours to myself before work. also I'm thinking of changing the #AFLife hashtag? I modeled it off of @sheepchase's #sclife, but I'd like it if there was a more widely used hashtag like "Life Posts" or "A Day In The Life" or something? anyway, time to get ready for therapy!

okay, fox, time to get off the couch and go into the kitchen and make some food! you can do it!

#AFLife

I didn't end up doing anything else on my list yesterday ... the maintenance person shows up right as I was about to take out some recycling, and then I just lost momentum 🤷🏻

so I mostly played Blanc until I had to work, and then work was stressful, and then my girlfriend came over with candy and I didn't really work the rest of the shift, and then we ordered food and played a little Blanc until she went home

so it was definitely a nice night overall

#AFLife

good morning friends!

#AFLife

OMG, my apartment is WARM again! the maintenance human drained a bunch of water from somewhere??? and now it's warm??? I don't understand, but I'm happy to not be shivering!

#AFLife

I start work in four hours and I'd like to get a few things done before then ...

- take out recycling
- post pictures for #fiberuary
- put away clean dishes
- #HebrewStudy?

Midna is on the bed with me, and she's in a very playful mood, attacking my feet 🤣

#AFLife

AND, the #VideoGame that I've been impatiently waiting for for MONTHS, that I pre-ordered two months ago and then downloaded several days ago is finally, officially OUT!!!

#Blanc is a beautiful, dialog-less, black and white game about a wolf pup and a deer kid who are lost in a snowy landscape and they have to rely on each other to get to their families

you can play both animals at once, though it's meant to be a 2-player co-op; but I'm alone and impatient!

#AFLife

I finally washed my sheets/quilt last night, and I FINALLY put flannel sheets on my bed so that my bed was very cozy (even if my quilt was still in the dryer)

I've also run the dryer a second time (I think it's done, and I think it'll need a third run, so I should do that in a sec), and moved living room stuff around for when our maintenance person shows up to figure out why my vents blow cold air instead of heating my apartment (I finally contacted the office yesterday)

#AFLife

good morning, friends and Mastodonians! it's actually 1:30pm, but I woke up before 10am for a change!

so far today, I've eaten breakfast, washed the cats' dishes* and fed them, and run my dishwasher (I mostly filled it last night, but it was late)

#AFLife

*I wash the actual bowls that hold the food every time I feed them, but they have fancy machines with lids that only open for the correct cat bc Link is on prescription food, and I don't clean the machines as often

good morning, friends, it's been a minute since I did either a mundane life post or a fiber post

mundane stuff first: I woke up with my work alarm today, so I haven't eaten anything yet ... I'm working on food in between calls. other plans/goals for today include:
- wash my bedding (cat pee)
- try to pick up my living room some (yarn all over; I've been trying to organize my stash)
- maybe play little more #Splatoon3 before Splatfest is over #TeamDarkChocolate

#AFLife

good morning, friends and Mastodonians!

I did finally wash a couple dishes last night and make instant mashed potatoes. I think I'm having the second half for breakfast, bc idk what else to have ...

goals & stuff:
- grocery order
- wash dishes
- shower
- #psychiatrist (virtual) appt in 3 hours
- eat something
✅ clear off my desk before my video visit

idk, y'all, I'm tired. I have roughly zero motivation. I could really use like an aide or something, but 🤷🏻🙃

#AFLife

just started work; trying to decide if I should work on a #textile project for #fiberuary or continue writing up my #indiePerfume Solstice Scents reviews ...

also I went to the dentist for my final filling!!! I have one more visit to get my temporary crown replaced with the real crown, but then it's just like yearly cleanings and nothing else!

anyway, that's my day. currently sitting at my work desk with one cat on my desk and another under it 🤣

#AFLife

took my migraine med, took a nap (not a great one, but I did get a little sleep), and woke up to ... still a #migraine 😭😭😭

also my medication instructions tell me I'm only allowed to take a second dose if "some response to the first dose was observed"

so basically today sucks

#AFLife

I was supposed to start work an hour ago, but I overslept and I also have a #migraine. I called in late and I'm about to lay down again, but yeah, I hate migraines. and #insomnia.

#AFLife

#shabbatShalom y'all. I'm on my way to shul with a friend. I'm very tired. I haven't done a lot of work on my #crochet project today, so please enjoy this extremely colorful #handspun yarn that I did a while ago ...

#AFLife #fiberuary

idk what's up with my apartment, but it's FREEZING. the heat has been on for a couple hours, my thermostat says it's still 68° F, I'm wearing warm clothes and I'm still freezing

I only have one window and it's a sliding glass door, and if I had a blanket big enough, I'd tape it over the window for some insulation, but I don't ...

#AFLife

it's been a minute since I've done a mundane life update ... honestly, life has been hectic in a not-great way for a bit, so

but I had my psych appointment finally and she suggested I might have #PTSD, which I've suspected for a while. she's also having me fill out a Sleep History Questionnaire, and we're meeting next week to talk about sleep stuff. AND I'm getting blood drawn for iron etc levels. so that's all good stuff

#AFLife

Link is sleeping on my torso like a folded up weighted blanket. this boy is 18 pounds of fur, purrs and warmth, all on my one hip 🤣😭

I've got plans to hang out with my friend Jessica and their dog Harper today, but only if Link ever lets me get up and put on clothing 😅 I'm mostly awake, but I've got this very warm creature on me now and he's making me feel sleepy ... fortunately (?) I'm in a pretty uncomfortable position, so I'm unlikely to actually fall asleep ...

#CatsOfMastodon #AFLife

hi friends. it's been a rough few days, just in terms of, like, self-care. my sleep has been shit, my #ChronicPain has been acting up and I just realized that my cannabis card renewal process has been in limbo for a month. I called the doctor's office about that one, and I'll get a call back soon hopefully

my brain is also in a bad place right now. partially depression, partially overwhelm, partially #AutisticBurnout. also pain. I don't know what to do ...

#AFLife

morning friends! I have finished my breakfast and it's 1pm

I have therapy in a bit and I should pay my rent today. I'm also running an errand to get one of Link's medications, because I was only able to get one of them yesterday

and today's my Friday!!! I'm so excited to not work for 3 days!

other than that, no specific plans or goals ... maybe put my clean dishes away ... something that doesn't require a lot of energy
