Done This Week

[scrubjayspeaks]

After being very successful in getting things done during the long weekend, and feeling like maybe it was going to be the reset I needed, I...got sick. Had a little bit of a scratchy throat on Monday and was clearly ill on Tuesday. Got through nearly the whole day at work, but left a little early to take a nap, in the hopes that I would recover. Only made it through a few hours on Wednesday. Didn’t even try on Thursday.

Now, even when I wasn’t at work, I called in for virtual meetings several times, because I’m not going to let them fuck with my projects without me, damn it. And fuck with them, they tried. I’m really tired of people who don’t know what’s going on claiming to know exactly what’s wrong with the project or inventing wild scenarios we need to “troubleshoot” that are 100% not happening. Anything to avoid acknowledging that they aren’t scheduling time for this project, yet still expect it to make progress.

I have slept more than I’ve been awake the last few days. I still have a cough (of course it turned into a cough, it’s always a cough with me) and the energy of a tranquilized sloth. Well, I *did* need to get more sleep. *facepalm*

Lewisia: 3 new pieces written

Day job: 21 hours (*snerk* that’s a very silly number)

Cooking: KAF’s recipe of the year, the puff crust pizza--a fun change from our usual, mostly a lateral move in terms of effort

Cleaning: fixed (with outrageous difficulty) the leaking faucet handle in the master bathroom

Crafting: removed the old stairs and placed the new ones

Gardening: harvested apricots before any of the branches could break--so many apricots!

Watching: Stranger Things season 3 episodes 5-7

Listening: Strange Weather by Louie Zong (needed something chill this week, fit particularly well with our brief rainstorm)

Clock Mouse: still taking a break

It's so annoying when you can't trust people enough to be off sick properly.
