Today I did the hard yards.

This morning daylight savings continued to mess with me but I made it into work alright thanks to the lovely Sun that warmed today. Once I was at work it was seven straight hours of slog trying to get some software working only to find in the eighth hour that the client is too busy to run through the next stage of testing until tomorrow afternoon. Nevertheless I felt capable and appreciated and very much in control of my stress.

The train ride home was easy and comfortable and, after ducking into the shops on the way, I returned home to my darling wife, pizza, YouTube and Clone Wars for the evening.

I slept alright (75%)

I ate ok (60%)

I didn’t exercise (0 mins)

I didn’t meditate (0 mins)

I didn’t do voice practice (0 mins)

Tomorrow I’m going to work from home and probably have to do overtime to get all the necessary testing done for this project but then Dave is going to come hang out which will be a lovely relief.

Emily just mispronounced “5th Edition”as “Fish Edition” when referring to DnD and now she will not stop laughing.

Today I put my stress away.

Work this morning was super stressful. This project is completely out of control and I made little progress and received a really ominous email from the client. On the plus side as the end of my half day was coming up I put on some Hayley Kiyoko and chatted with my boss about it and managed to get it squared away until tomorrow and so once I was done I was able to calm down.

We walked to the bakery and got some lunch and Emily headed off to provide moral support to her mum for some medical tests.

Soon after, I found out that I will be on two panels at pax this year around the same time as we found out that our accommodation for games week has fallen through so I spent a bit of time reorganising things and messaging friends and eventually found someone to stay with which I’m so thankful for.

Once I had that sorted I headed into the bathroom to feed BMO and clean and then just sit and play and cuddle with him which was really nice. Afterwards I emerged fully intent on doing the dishes that have been haunting me for a week and just got hit again by a sudden wave of intense tiredness and crashed on the couch. Emily got home while I was hard napping and when I woke up with a headache she helped me with some panadol and headed off to get some groceries. We got home in the vaporwave sunset and had dinner while watching YouTube and continued on until it was time for bed.

I slept lightly with fun dreams about pirates (70%)

I ate pretty well (75%)

I didn’t exercise (0 mins)

I didn’t meditate (0 mins)

I didn’t do any voice practice (0 mins)

Tomorrow is another long day and it’s honestly going to be the decider on this fucked up project but somehow I’m not scared of it yet because what will be will be?
