At Her Leisure

I got nothin' this AM. I was full-ass awake until 330 AM. I tried to sleep just after midnight, lasted 10 minutes before realizing that I was really heckin' restless and just gave up. I'll sleep when I sleep. Which was 330. I managed to drag myself to consciousness at 6:50. Heckin' tired, yo.

Hoppin' mad all day yesterday. I put one thread into the cross stitch and otherwise just let myself rot.

Thank fuck it's nearly the weekend. I have Things To Do (tm) but I can't wait to turn into a mushroom and only interact with people BY CHOICE.

Boobs: Squished. Just need to book that silly blood draw now. (someone please remind me)

At home, I lazed about for a time, and right around 5pm, when I would normally be getting home, I picked up the cross stitch. I feel like I didn't do much with it even though I spent like 4 hours? Only three threads worth. IDK. I was watching The Pitt, I had a cat, I ordered in dinner, it was fine.

I wanted to go grocery shopping after, since I was already out, but I just couldn't be bothered. So I still need to do that. I will see how I feel over the next couple days, but I can't put it off too long as the cats are nearly out of food!

Do NOT want to go back to my desk next week just to have boss breathing down my neck. Theres a task she's wanted me to take over for months but she refuses to let me have it fully. I'm not pushing it bc I am planning to be out of here much sooner rather than later. Did not hear back from the other company so my search resumes anew. Again.

On Wednesday I cut out the Lucille trousers from the grey wool on the full width as indicated in the pattern. I think I have enough in yardage and offcuts to make a skirt too. So weekend plans are some chores (they need doing, alas) and some sewing, and hopefully get the fabric for K in the wash so I can get that cut out too. And a whole lot of cross stitching!

It is only day 2 of not being directly in my boss' presence and it's amazing how relaxed I feel. Who could have guessed being away from toxicity actually works??

Decided to make a skillet lasagna last night, so I went to the store for basically everything. I spent way more than I expected, but to be fair, I did buy a lot of cheese. And it was worth it because it was sooooo cheesey and delicious. Also knocked out some dishes while the sauce cooked and then -- GASP -- actually did some cross stitch after! Couple more threads of green filled in.

Wrist is super sore today, likely because the desk i am at right now is not ergonomically set up, even with my keyboard and mouse here. Going to make adjustments through the day to find the sweet spot.

Woke up at 430 am and thought fuck it, I'll just stay up. Hahaha no, 6 am rolls around and I am fighting for my life. So I decided to just rest my eyes, and predictably, did not fall asleep but also did not want to get up.

I think I will prep some patterns/fabric for cutting and bring them with me to make use of a conference table or two without my little helpers. Considered it today while I was laying awake, but nah. Too much to plan for with the limited time that I had. That gives me time to plan what to bring lol.

Health: Improving. Saturday I woke up NOT feeling like I was swallowing glass, so there's that, but I had a heckin' migraine that drugs were not touching. It started with waking up at 1:45 am feeling very nauseous and generally gut-sick, but I managed to get back to sleep without being sick. Woke up again around 8 or something, still nauseous, managed some drugs, watched some videos, and fell back asleep for another 3 hours. Headache then was still present but less painful, and then M pointed out (since we'd had tentative plans, and I messaged saying absolutely not) that the weather had changed drastically. Like hovering 0C to 12C, and incoming wind warnings (the wind was indeed heckin' windy). But I did feel good enough to meet my dad and sibling for dinner, where I absolutely destroyed the fried pork dumpling pan. Yum yum yum.

Yesterday still not feeling great, but well enough to make a (very large) cup of coffee and cross stitch. In the afternoon, M watched Heated Rivalry finally and I watched along with her. We banged out the entire 5.5 hours in one sitting. I put SEVERAL threads into it, mostly flowers and leaves, I am so proud of myself. When my hands got tired, I glued together some boxes for my flower shop booknook kit that I bought uh... October? All the while, Calcifer slept on me, so I'm sure she's saving up her crimes for later.

Then I took a stupid shower for my stupid mental health and it stupidly worked.

Today, my sinus is still congested and I can feel it all along the left side of my face, into my teeth and down my neck. It's really uncomfortable. I think I ought to do my erranding that I didn't do on the weekend (bc sick) or at least go to the store and pick up something to make for supper. Did I bring a shopping bag with me? No, no I did not. Heck.
