Today was a tough day. I tend not to post much about tough days, because they often involve other people’s personal details that I’m not comfortable sharing. Not my story to tell.
But then y’all get a skewed view of my life, so I’ll just say that I’d expected today to be back to regular work day. My morning was fine, mostly crafting and cleaning, but then I had a rough therapy session that dug up a bunch of stuff I usually successfully don’t think about, and I ended up spending most of the afternoon weepy and completely unable to work. I lay on the couch and watched several episodes of Project Runway.
Eventually I made myself eat something — I had barely eaten, which I’m sure didn’t help. And then I moved to my bed, and then Kavi came and lay down with me, and worked on the logo design while we watched Modern Family re-runs.
By 7 or so, she had finished the logo, and headed off to a party, and I went and had another meal, and then I came back to bed, and watched more Project Runway, and somewhere in there I finally dealt with my stupid flat tire stuff (which has eaten up something like three hours of my life so far, and it’s not done yet, gah).
And then I filled out the application for Kavi’s 504, which I’ve had a very hard time motivating to do — Kevin would have done it, but he’s wrenched his back, and writing by hand is difficult right now. Glad I finally got that done.
(Kavi didn’t come back with an ADHD diagnosis, after our day of neuropsychological testing, and I don’t want to go into more details without her permission, but I think she’d be fine with us noting that they recommended Kavi be given more time on tests in order to get a more accurate representation of what she actually knows. We’ll see if the school / SAT / ACT agree. I am honestly not sure I agree with their assessment of her not having ADHD, but we’ll roll with their assessment for now, and see how it goes.)
Things I didn’t get to today that I definitely meant to: SLF and Serendib House Slack messages, revising the story that is due to workshop tomorrow, setting up a Serendib Veganuary challenge. All too much for me to cope with. Maybe it’ll be three weeks of Veganuary instead of a full month.
I’m doing better now, feel more like myself, but it’s bedtime, so I will take a bath and go to sleep and see what can be done to catch up tomorrow.
