Today was a pretty good day! I ran to the high school to pick up the text book for the intensive class starting Friday, then went to a friend’s place and finally watched #GoodOmens2. It was nice to actually hang out with a friend instead of my normal terminal onlineness.

The next few days are gonna be super busy, though. I’m going over to a friend’s tomorrow to basically take her old computer apart, then teaching Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

I had a fun day today! I met a friend for a yakiniku brunch, then we went shopping for a new gaming PC for her. We were just going to price compare, but she looked at the ones in Yotsubashi and compared them to ones I had priced for her a few weeks ago, and dot decided on one I had sent her into on Edion. So we headed out to Namba, got slightly lost but found the Edion, and she now has a new PC that so be delivered tomorrow. ✌🏼 #MyBoringLife

I really want a chuuhai, but I also want to sit here as a blob and not move.

Life is hard. #MyBoringLife

And today of going to be another long, boring hospital day.

I don’t usually see the doc for very long, but I have to go in very early because they have to do blood tests, and it takes an hour and a half for the results to come back. So I either wait at the hospital or go get lunch and go back. Thing is, there’s nothing near the hospital so I have to walk about 15 minutes to get to a place to eat. Ugh. #MyBoringLife

I have FINALLY finished my grading! I’ve turned in final scores and am on my way home.

I am so tired. I only got a few hours of sleep the last couple days because I was grading and prepping (losing half of Monday for commencement and a teacher’s meeting didn’t help), and it just hit my hard. As soon as I get home, I’m taking a nap. #MyBoringLife

I’m always slightly jealous of people who can paint their toenails. I can’t because my pinky ties curve inwards so much there’s barely any toenail to speak of, and only painting four nails on each foot looks strange. 😞 #MyBoringLife

I’m trying to grade exams for one class while another class is taking theirs, and my brain is just not letting me. It’s just refusing to parse any more. Just ugh.

I’ve got three finals to give tomorrow, and my brain is already rebelling at the thought. At least two of them are just going to be tedious to make (one can mostly reuse questions from the exam last year with me only having to write a few new ones, and one is questions from a workbook), but one will be a pain. #MyBoringLife

Finally, I remembered to buy deodorant. I ran out a few days ago and #adhd meant I just could not remember I needed more until I got home from being out.

I also finally remembered to buy sunscreen for the walks to and from Tennoji station. I see no reason to increase my chances of skin cancer just because I need exercise. 😅 #MyBoringLife

Plan to walk home thwarted by the realization I forgot to charge my phone, and there is no way it’ll last the 22 minute walk. #MyBoringLife

I just realized they might be able to take me off the meds for my heart rate next time I go in!

I’m sitting doing absolutely nothing and my resting heart rate was 48. That is, um, low. My heart rate before my body decided to attack my thyroid was in the mid 60s, which is right where it should be.

I’ll check my watch data in a few days to see if this is a trend. If so, one more medicine hopefully gone! :D #MyBoringLife

My boss at my Saturday job yesterday asked me if I had lost weight, and said it was really noticeable. I’ve still got a way to go, but my knees seem to appreciate the weight loss, which is my whole reason for it. I don’t really have a set weight loss goal in mind, just a vague “the less weight on my crap knee the better.” Maybe 5-10 more kilos, idk.

My legs have been hurting a lot lately, but I’m attributing that to the weather changes. Air pressure changes are not my friend. #EDS #MyBoringLife

Tonight’s Little Frustration:

Me, in the early afternoon: I won’t put on any rice or take that fish out to thaw for dinner. I need to use my last two slices of bread up, so I’ll just make a grilled cheese sandwich when i get hungry!

Me now at midnight: Let me make that grilled cheese sandwich. …oh. I’m out of cheese.

I’m making toast. #MyBoringLife

Ugh, city taxes paid.

Now to be very, very careful with my money until payday. #MyBoringLife

Yay! I’m stupid and made my appointment to get a prescription refilled at 11:30. I start work at 12:50. It didn’t occur to me this could be a problem until this morning, since my job is only one stop away.

Luckily, I decided to come in early since I saw on the website there was only one person with an appointment before mine. I had to wait, but I just saw the doc and now am waiting to pay. I should be out by 11:30, so I’ll get my prescription then go to work. #MyBoringLife

I’ve got “That Would Be Enough” from Hamilton stuck in my head for legit no good reason. I don’t even really like that song. So why is my head putting it on loop?! #MyBoringLife

Ugh, I’m glad I decided not to walk into the main station today and to take the train in. I’m not completely well yet - this cough will NOT go away - and I felt about ready to have a coughing fit just walking the five minutes to the station near me. I’ll keep taking it easy this week, too. #MyBoringLife

I thought I was gonna have to walk 20 minutes in the pouring rain to get to the hospital for my blood tests and prescription refill, but decided to check the bus schedule on the way. The bus comes in 2 minutes. Guess what I’m taking. XD #MyBoringLife

My class today went well. A couple of students were like, “wait what?!” when they came in and I was there, not the teacher they were expecting. 🤣 But several of them were thrilled that I was teaching the class, which was nice. I’m kind of excited because I love history so I’m looking forward to teaching it. #MyBoringLife

Ready but also not ready for the first day of the semester. I’ve got everything as prepped as I can (I’ve got a LOT of printing to do when I get to work tho) and I just need to get dressed and head in. #MyBoringLife

It’s definitely spring - less than 10 minutes walking outside and my nose is running like a faucet, and that’s with me having kept my mask on.

I’m so glad that, if I have to have hay fever, it’s mild. I usually just get a runny nose and sneezing. #MyBoringLife
