kittydesadeDoing moderately better after a good night's sleep and a trazodone. I'm not sure what part of yesterday was a need for trazodone and what part was a need for sleep, but I got both either way. I didn't, unfortunately, get to sleep until 2-bloody-30 in the morning so my waking schedule ended up not being very different, but at least I slept through the night. And hopefully will continue to do so.
Coding the project is... it's going! It's going pretty well as far as getting the initial bits done, and now I'm testing the functions I've coded so far, but I completely forgot that I also need to incorporate a username/password sessions functionality into it, so now I need to figure out in what order I need to do things, and I guess that's a problem for study group tomorrow. I'm really, really hoping to get a lot of this coded up by tonight and then be able to just start in on the next section Thursday, lessee. Once I get the project in a state where I'm pretty sure it's just the last bit of bug hunting I can start the next section so, okay, yes, Thursday, turn the project in Friday, schedule my assessment, schedule a meeting with my academic advisor, keep on moving.
I like keep on moving. I like that this is a thing I can do again instead of trying to learn how to code like trying to swim through pudding. That was most of December, it feels like. Now, okay, my sleep schedule is a bit wonky but I feel more awake and capable of doing things.
I got excessively annoyed at my lack of tasty carbs in the house and made Damn Fine Potato Soup tonight, and then ate three bowls of it so, oof. But it was just about worth it. I'm almost done re-outlining Grumpy Old Mercs, and then I need to find a proper map of southern England and figure out where the goddamn hell everything is so I can make sure I'm properly aligned, since topographical features figure heavily in that novel, and then I can keep working on that. At some point there's going to be groceries. I've picked up my cross-stitch again, and started a new one, I think I'm going to rotate through four banners at once because WHY NOT.
(I have completely abandoned the pandemic stitch project. I think perhaps the rainbow of colors was too much for me and I should have done black on rainbow background. Or white on rainbow background. Or something a little more ... monochrome. Okay, I haven't completely abandoned it, but I'm definitely not working it as avidly as I used to.)
Anyway. The upshot is I'm doing better for a good night's sleep. HOORAY SLEEP.
