kittydesadeUgh. I'm getting woozy with just a few minutes' of activity in the kitchen, which is not where I wanted to be today after taking yesterday mostly off and going to bed early. Still, though, I got through all the SQL labs today even though I opened the last one this morning, stared at it, and went "I do not have the brain to parse SQL joins today".
When I called Mom she said "Joins are hard!" and I felt vindicated.
Because I had lunch, figured out that if I re-read the original instructions instead of my slightly more haphazard notes, I could probably figure it out, and then decided to go have a long nap instead of trying it then. And after the nap I did it! Most of them took five minutes, one took half an hour because it was one of those trick questions with the complicated solution, but I did it without even asking help from Mom. Or anyone else but I was going to go to Mom first.
So the SQL section is completely done, if I want to stay two weeks behind I need to complete the ORM section before Monday which is 23 items plus five video reviews so, a bit difficult? But hopefully not much so, especially now that I'm better about asking for help. Or if I don't finish it all hopefully I'm down to one or two things by Monday and can finish it and move along, because after that is a short section and then an HTML section. That sound you heard was me cackling, smacking my hands and rubbing them together, and drumming my heels in glee. I know HTML. I think. There's always a chance they'll throw something at me that I don't know but I've been only doing it since it was invented, it should be a lot quicker and I might be able to make up some time.
I went to bed early last night and woke up I think at the end of every REM cycle, long enough to notice I'd only been out for a couple hours. I don't know why. I took a decongestant and that helped some, but I'm still tired and pretty sure this is me fighting off a cold, not just me after five days of pretty intense activity compared to lately. I'm... annoyed. This is either the third cold or the third wave of the same cold, either way it doesn't much matter it's the third period of down with the sickness-ness in three weeks and I just want to be able to get some walks in while it's still nice out. To get back to an exercise routine. To not have to take two hour naps in the middle of the days to stave off brain fog. Ugh.
Well, we don't have any major errands coming up. We'll have to do a grocery shop in a week or two, we'll have to take Murdock to the vet to get another blood sugar sensor installed again in two weeks, and other than that I don't think we have anything to do. So I can rest, and catch up on schoolwork and picking up and art and other things, and hopefully recover in time to get a few walks in. Hopefully things will stay okay on the finances front. They should, with family help. I've got vitamins coming since we don't need anything else at the big box store where I'd been getting my vitamins, and I added some elderberry/zinc drops to fight against this crap. Did I say that last entry? I think I did. I'm tired. I'm zonked. But I'm still hopeful. Which, these days, feels like a miracle.
