Daily Post 0137: It’s Alive!

Standard

Not a lot to report today.

Another rainy day in Florida. In retrospect, I guess it was a good thing that RB and I didn’t meet. Getting rained on at the park might not have been the best thing for a super deep, clearing the air, mending bridges sort of meeting.

I’m still working through those emotions within myself.

I naturally woke up at 8:30, unloaded the dishwasher, cut up all the veggies and meat for Bulgogi and set that to marinade for the day, then made breakfast for myself. I cross stitched alone, in sweet, blessed silence for a while and enjoyed every second of my a solitude.

I messaged Clavan to see if he was on campus. He wasn’t, but we did sort of talk about my issue.

He asked what was up, and I said that I wanted to talk about work. That I felt I would be more useful helping in another area of our program rather than Shading and Lighting since I am working on a Digital Arts and Design degree. the change would line up better with the direction I am trying to move my life in.

He said that he would talk to Joe once he got back to the office. At the very least they would see about taking me out of SAL. So there’s not much more to do in this area except wait and see what happens. I hope something can be figured out to help with my burnout. I hope I don’t have to leave the school simply because my job is slowly killing me. I hope things can be fixed and that I can complete my degree. I hope for a lot of things in this area.

Zane put money on the laundry card so I was able to take care of the cloths. Got them washed, dried, AND put away. Because I’m a boss. /flex

Eventually I cooked the veggie / meat mix so it would be done for dinner later. Zane ended up cooking the rice.

I went grocery shopping and came out at $60 give or take some change. Under budget, which is always nice.

Zane poked at my computer today. He vacuumed out the six cats that were living inside of the case. He also took a look at my solid state drive to figure out why it was so full. He did some file management and got me roughly 30 gigs back. He also started playing Witcher 3, which I’m ok with. He knows more about the story than I do now, but I don’t have much drive to play at the moment. Maybe tomorrow.

Tomorrow could be a game day where I order a pizza and sit at my computer for 16 hours slaughtering monsters and being a badass… That sounds pretty appealing right now since I was supposed to have that day almost two months ago.

It’s nice to have my computer set back up. Maybe if I wasn’t tired I would have more to write about in this area. But right now it’s more fact like rather than the accomplishment of Frankinstein. Not much energy for huzzahs and stuff, but I am glad.

I re-read the first two chapters of Warrior Princess Submissive. I’ve only written an intro post about it so far, but I plan to type up writings for the first and second chapter tonight while the ideas and emotions are still fresh.

Zane and I listened to the prolog for Game of Thrones. The scene is a little different in the book than it is from the show, but I like it so far.

That’s pretty much been my day. Very low key, yet productive.

The only thing I haven’t gotten done that was on my to-do list was hanging up my cork board. It’s supposed to go above my computer monitors. I may or may no do it still. It’s super easy to do, but I’m sort of content to label today as done and curl up with Scarlet.

Tomorrow is another day where I don’t have much planed. It’s summer break for the students. I don’t have labs, and I don’t feel guilty about it. I don’t have this urge where I feel like I ‘should’ be doing something.

In a way it is a mini vacation for me. I’m keeping my to-do lists to the essentials, and whatever else I get done along the way is icing on the cake.

  1. I like to-do lists : when I see the crossed out items, it provides a sense of having done something. Then, “wow, ok – I did that. Nap time deserved.” Mini vacations are good.

    • XD

      I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it so far. All monsters shall fear my wrath. : )

      I like having a visual representation of my day. It’s not just thoughts floating around in my head. They’re solid and real.

      I also have a tendency to forget a lot of things that I do. I mean, cleaning the cat box, washing dishes… They don’t seem like that big a deal to me, so I’ll forget that I actually did them when I’m remembering all of the things I accomplished in my day. But those tasks do take time, and they are chores that need to get done, so I count them on my list.

  2. “…a game day where I order a pizza and sit at my computer for 16 hours slaughtering monsters and being a badass… That sounds pretty appealing right now…” Word. I have the day off tomorrow, but it looks like Spike will have to work. I might settle in for a long day of video games myself!

    • It’s been a blast so far.

      Since today is Friday I’m supposed to be stepping away from the game for a bit to actually take care of ‘life’ stuff. You know, paying bills, putting gas in the car… lame stuff.

      I promise I’m not obsessed with this game. I can totally stop whenever I want to… Just let me finish this quest real fast…

      • No judgement here. I started watching the 5th season of Downton Abbey last night and finished it this afternoon; nine forty-five minute episodes. Adulting didn’t start happening until about 4:00. We did some grocery shopping and I cleaned up the kitchen a bit when we got home, so I’m gonna say job well done and call it a night at 8:30 🙂
