Mom update: Mom finished her antibiotics and took the train home, where my godfather picked her up and now my aunt is visiting for a while to keep an eye on her. So that is, I suppose, going as well as it was going to at this point. I think she saw her regular doctor yesterday; I'll call tomorrow and find out.
I pretty much got back from taking her to the train and faceplanted; I spent most of last weekend either asleep or staring into space when I wasn't playing video games, which is perfectly fine honestly.
This week I meant to be back at work as normal except for the part where it was 71 degrees on Monday and then 40 on Tuesday, with extremely predictable results for me (three day migraine and completely fucked sleep schedule). I did get back into the office on Wednesday and am at least making some small amount of progress on things. I would like to have more focus, but I'm working on it.
Tonight I tried a new experience: there is a place that offers various scalp-related spa treatment things, and I was like, well, why not. So I went, and overall it was a pretty pleasant experience; I'm not sure if any of the various goops and things that were applied to my hair will accomplish literally anything, but I did get about an hour's worth of various pleasing textures rubbing against my scalp, which was nice. So that was neat.
I also have started the process of acquiring a new apartment, mostly so I can just get All The Shit done and out of my way. (Therapist: you know life doesn't really stop though? I mean, yeah, but then I will not have indeterminate period of time waiting and apartment hunting and moving hanging over my head, I can settle into the place I plan to be for the next few years at least.)
Also in therapy today: okay, what are the goals now? One thing I want to work on is getting back to writing more regularly; I know there's a lot of tangled messes that go into that in addition to the logistics hell of having ideas, energy, and opportunity all at the same time, but I did promise to do some focusing this weekend on what, exactly, is getting in the way besides the energy problem. I feel kinda stuck on all three of my current projects and it's very much "I am in the '????? Profit!' stage and not sure where to go." I have an idea of where the stories go but there's a whole section of the map erased between me and that. ugh.
I guess the only other thing of note is that I am trying out (another) meal kit service - this time, Hungryroot, which is a mix of meal kits, ready-to-eat or heat-and-eat, and snacky things. The variety will hopefully be of assistance. So far it's been very tasty and not too dire on the effort front, and also, I keep reminding myself that if it helps for a few weeks and then doesn't, that's okay. I am allowed to have things not be permanent!
anyway state of the me: tired.
