But oh my god it is such a relief to have a health problem defined by medical test that has a solution of "Okay here take this pill and call me in a couple months to see if it's a good dosage for you, and you're good."
Velociraptor screech. AND I WON NANOWRIMO. Two days ago, but posting about it got lost in the haze of uuugh. And although I won Nanowrimo, this novel has at least 25k to go before it's finished. Which just means I have to do a Nano's worth of words in it every day till the end of the month, that's easy enough after the last two weeks. I also have to remember not to go absolutely nuts with all the submitting to everywhere, three to four short stories is good enough, plus a novel? in January? That I don't know about, I'm not sure what's close enough to finished that I could do that. Malachy might be the only one. I might wait on the novel submission. Or do a novella.
I certainly am not going to buy a hundred dollars worth of makeup brushes oh my god self stop that. That's how you get into trouble. This is why the country can't have nice things. You have an estimate now, leave it for the Christmas budget.
Trying to be better about checking in with everything on Habitica. Which may or may not get easier once I'm on the medication I need to be on, so I might as well start refreshing the habit while it's heavy lifting. Languages which I haven't done in at least two weeks, checking in here which obviously I've been awkward about. Checking off exercise. Physics, which I've also been sporadic about. I already feel a ton better in my mind just knowing that I was having a super low thyroid and the related symptoms, which since one of them is mild? depression would also explain some of the executive function falloff. So. Might as well use that energy to a good purpose and get moving into good habits again.
I really hope taking a small dose of thyroid hormone works because I would really like to sleep through the night again ever. Among many other things.
