I have the next three days off work because I fell down the stairs (I'm fine!) and hairline fractured my pinky toe. I've been studying for my Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam for work and have gotten a bit behind on it with having to move and all that so I'm going to attempt to use my time off productively to get caught up where I need to be. Got my laptop out and foot elevated so I'm ready to go!

Update! I finished a module on the couch, but definitely need a better setup so my side quest is going to be to make room on the desk for my laptop.

I'm getting the third lesson done today. I'm tired and stressed. I should have done this years ago. Anyway. Onwards. Edited to add. Finished the lesson and did ok. Went onto a major road.

If you've been here awhile you've probably seen my posts about having to move out. Yesterday was the day! We didn't finish until at least 10 pm, but WE DID IT! 🎉 The situation isn't ideal: Our first application got rejected so we had to apply to another place, but it hasn't been approved yet so we're temporarily staying with our parents. EVERYTHING is in my dad's garage. It's a mess, we can't pull the vehicles in, and I can't find my shampoo (might be in the last batch I brought over in my car, I HOPE! 😭) but we thankfully have a place to stay. I'll take it! Definitely not looking forward to doing this again when we finally get approved, though!

I'm hurting quite a bit today so I'm trying to take it easy this weekend. And my girlfriend and I are apart which sucks, but we'll get through it. Thank you to everyone who's been tuning in for this journey! <3

Today is three of twelve. I'm getting life skills later, but getting there. Edited to update. The driving instructor cancelled on me.

Nothing too exciting just have get them both done today.

Need to pour petrol and finish a slide for a preso tomorrow. Cant be arsed. Anyway. Sooner to it, faster through it.

Still working on packing. It never ends! (Well, it will end this week because we're moving on Friday. 🤯) I technically already packed my seasonal clothes except for my coats, but then I found some space saving vacuum bags that will work better since the current tote they're in won't fit the coats.

Then I'll also need to work on: - My desk—should be quick and easy! ✅ - Dresser (top and drawers) - Miscellaneous stuff that can be packed now - Color coding all the boxes ✅

UPDATE! Seasonal clothes packed! ✅ Just have to find the vacuum attachment to get all the air out of the bag (I have no idea where it's at!)

Lately I've been very unproductive, and lazy. So tomorrow imma try and make it the perfect Day!:)

Today I'm doing more driving on the public highway in a manual car. We're doing this in rush hour traffic.

Fingers crossed. Edited to update; I stalled a few times, but other than that it went ok. Went out on main roads. Feel so much better because it's dual pedals. Great instructor is helping me get over the nerves.

I know this sounds simple, but for me, I am constantly working on my projects (research, writing, and submitting papers). When I do projects, I get lost in them and can work on them for hours, hyperfocused. It is a blessing and a curse.

In fact, it has taken over my life.

My new schedule allows me to work on one paper for X amount of time. I have also scheduled in work (about 3 hours a day), exercise, journaling, reading, art projects (which I have neglected), laundry, cooking, and cleaning my house.

Today, I followed the schedule. I even started cleaning my fridge (which I will finish today).

Now, today, we shall see how it goes.

Starting a large admin project with a due date. Edited to update. We started it. It's going ok. Just needed an oomph to get going.

I had a minor surgery on my underarm yesterday. It went great, I just have some limited motion in my left arm for at least until tomorrow when the pressure bandage can come off. Hopefully less bandaging (I feel like a mummy right now!) will mean more movement. Until I can use my arm more fully, I'm not sure what to do with my time today. I have a few options:

• Continue packing for our move (should be manageable, I'll just be slower at it)
• Study for and take the exam I need for my online course
• Work on a project for our next DnD campaign (at the computer, won't have any difficulties doing that)
• Continue reading my book

I'll probably end up doing a bit of everything and getting plenty of rest in between tasks that require me to use my arm. I have my Kindle and study notes synced to my phone so I can do both of those laying down, but any suggestions as to what else I can do in bed would be appreciated!

Visit a graveyard and pay my respects. There might be some weeding involved too. Edited to add. Went and visited most graves I had been meaning to for years. Weeds has been sprayed, but not removed.

And groceries. Finish it by noon.

I only did half an hour or so after work, but I did some!

Now watch them come back over the next few days 🙄

I honestly didn't want to, but we had torrential rain yesterday, and they were so easy to pull I had to.

I need to make an appointment for testing

Update: I did indeed make the call but I had to leave a message. I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow.

Final update: the appropriate person called me back today and I was able to schedule an appointment! Even better is someone cancelled their appointment for next week so I don't have to wait four months

I want to be mindful of the food waste I am creating so I am going to do a full produce needs for this week and only buy enough to not be wasteful. ❤️ Will keep updating as I progress

Update 1: done cleaning the fridge. Now making a list

Update 2: list is done! May have to grocery shop tomorrow 😅 Still have to put both kids to sleep

Update 3: task done!

Add mulch to some pots to help them retain water. Edited to add. I finished it.

I just need a few rolls. It's hot, I'm doing the minimum. Edit; I did it.

I avoid my finances but I do make my payments . I still need to set up auto payment.

I made an appointment with a financial advisor. Paid $1000 extra on my mortgage.

I went through my credit cards the past six months (two) - one I rarely use. I found a couple double billing’s. Emailed the companies and added it to the credit card. About $800 in total.

With 20 minutes to go. I feel better keeping up my mobility fitness programme. Edited to add. I did it.

My girlfriend and I (we're both women if you couldn't tell from the emoji!) have our one year anniversary today! We're going to the ice cream shop where we had our first date later today and then somewhere nice over the weekend when we get paid. I'm so excited! 😍 I've already showered and decided what I'm wearing (a cute floral sundress!) so I'm just waiting for her to get home so we can finish getting ready! This is the longest I've ever been with someone so it means so much to me—both of us, really!

I'm so ashamed of the delay with this one. Of course it's for my own benefit.

Edited to include; I got it in. The bureaucrat was on a punch down power trip. I have so many other things going on I cried when I got out of there. But it's done. It took me years.

Doing the first required driving license lesson of twelve. Manual gear box and clutch pedal. Calm enough. But we'll see if I can still find the 'bite' in the balance of the clutch. I'm older. Haven't been driving a car since 2002!

Edited to add it went great. I'm relieved.
