Trigger warnings: loss of pet, grief, depression

11 Hours Til I Meet Up With Uncle Comic
We got out of work early today since it is Good Friday. I haven’t ever really been in a family that religiously observed Easter, so I’m not quite sure what I should expect when I am traveling tomorrow morning.

It’s been a while.
I’m not sorry I’ve been done for a bit, but I do apologize if I worried anyone with my sudden absence. I was fried. Still am, still struggling. Doing the best I can.

1 Closet Now 2/3rds of the Way Cleaned Up
The photo you see is me taking a step back from my closet. I haven’t really been able to bring myself to actually start this project until pretty much earlier this evening. I’m going to keep working after this and my initial discussion board post for school this week. After that, who the heck knows what’s gonna happen.
Take your meds, folks.

I’m going to tackle it today. Pray for me.

$23.87 Spent at the Movie Theater
As I mentioned last night, Lucian and I went to the movies this evening. Yes I am absolutely exhausted. I am also in a wonderful mood even though my left hip is screaming in pain from the stupid bursitis and sitting still for too long.

2,236 Days Straight on Duolingo
It’s a super moon today, the first full moon of 2026. There is also some kind of meteor shower thing that I haven’t bothered to go outside and look at. I’m so, so tired of being in discomfort, and pain, and unable to focus. I am doing my best to keep going. I’m doing yoga as often as I am physically capable of doing so. Sleep is elusive due to pain and discomfort; I fell asleep after 4 AM this morning and I assume that Sunday will be more of the same.
