I did not sleep well, and I can't even blame the cat for most of it. But at least I remembered my morning pills! I just could not get comfortable. I was anxious and twitchy. I have no idea why. I took some anti anxiety meds and eventually, I got to sleep, but it took a while.
Yesterday, we cleaned. Jess mostly tackled the bathroom, and I vacuumed and did laundry. Next week, I'm going to focus on the living room, since we didn't really do much in there. And I'll vacuum the couches and floor, and wipe off shit. It's so nice to not only make an appreciable difference, but also to feel accomplished when you finish everything.
Our laundry machine is a total bitch. It's all done via app, so you punch in the number of the machine and the app deducts money from your account and then you push the start button on the washer. Half the time, it throws up an error message, and then you have to do it all over again, sans charges. I've done it like six times in a row last week, but yesterday, it was very kind. Started on the first try for wash #1, and on the second for wash #2.
It's all remarkably banal, and common, but it feels like taking the reins to my life. So does cooking, for that matter. I can't move mountains, but I can do the small stuff, like making sure my people are fed. I can't change the world, but I can make sure I have a clean bathroom, and a clean living room. I can chose kindness.
After work, I watched an episode of the Night Agent, season 2. Did not grab me as fast as season one. I really enjoyed the first season, so I'll give season 2 a few episodes to build.
Once that was over, it was time for Bake Off! WE watched 2 1/2 episodes, and I really love that show. Dylan has won me over with his flavor and pretty bakes. And the gochujang bread looked amazing. I've gotta track down a recipe and see what I can do with it.
Then, time for a fun game! I'm playing Irsu, who is a 9th level Dragonborn wizard. Around this level, wizards get scary. And being me, I worry that I'm going to take away enjoyment for the rest of the players. We had a Roc fight that lasted two rounds. I was able to knock it out of the sky and incapacitate it, then threw a fireball the second round. It meant that the fight was short, and no one died, but I worry that I cheated our fighter out of some good hitting.
Then, later, I had a dance with an NPC that went a little long, and went really well, and I worry that I'm monopolizing the spotlight. Jess assures me that I'm not, but y'know. I never want to be that player.
I had a lot of fun with it, and had a bit of therapy about familial duty. lol. I made a character who broke free of family expectations. I may still have some issues.
Okay, time to start getting myself together. Everyone have the absolute best Monday!
