Dec. 3rd, 2020 03:10 pmThis has been a hell of a day. A day that should have happened yesterday but other things happened and, well, I was trying to take it easy after the code review that got jumbled around. I had a study group that went pretty well. And I had an unexpected trip to a physical therapist because the boy thought they would want him to have a driver (HAH) and he wanted me to pick up our lunch/dinner if it was ready before he was out. My groove was entirely thrown off, as it has been today.
The good part is I have three more labs and then a project, for which I'm watching a bunch of review videos, and to me it doesn't really matter so much if I start the project now on paper and do the labs tomorrow or ... well, I have until the end of the week, in my head, to do the rest of the labs, and I can still do classwork by watching review videos. It seems I can watch review videos and that counts as studying because it assimilates into my brain pretty well doing that.
The ... something. Part. The distracting part. We got a vet appointment for Mikey with the internal medicine/oncology vet practice, even if it is a few weeks away. That seems to be standard for them, I guess because there just aren't that many of them in this area. I went onto the ACA website and discovered that because I'm unemployed and not drawing unemployment (as far as we know right now, who the hell knows when Congress will unfuck itself) I don't qualify for tax subsidies, therefore my premium went up to $FuckYou/month. So, to make an infuriating story short, the boy and I are going to get married for that sweet sweet federal job health insurance. I spent a good chunk of today looking up the logistics of that, texting my Mom to let her know the plan, trying not to scream too hard about this shithole country and its utter lack of anything resembling a civilized social safety net.
So a whole bunch of bureaucracy and paperwork and all of that is settled, we're still worried about Mikey (Murdock's blood sugar seems to have stabilized and he's put his weight back on and is walking better) but we've got an appointment to deal with that, and everything else is... normal? I guess? Tech school continues. Adventures in makeup and writing continue. Bass practice continues.
But I am le tired. My brain is exhausted. My body is following, too, I didn't sleep well last night and when I did sleep I had really vivid nightmares and weird dreams about translating between Irish and Japanese. It made sense, even, as far as I understand both languages, I just don't remember what it was. I am exhausted along several different axes right now and a lot of them are frustrating that they had to be this way.
Plus side, I suppose, is that once things are Dealt With I won't have to deal with it again and it'll be one thing out of my hair for a while. But gah. In the immediate timeframe? I need five naps and big hot chocolate lava cake.
