Wow, really feel like it’s going off today! Spent about an hour or so weeding, clearing the debris from both front & back porches, front lawn mowed… going to eat some cereal and hopefully keep the momentum going!

Trying to find this balance of getting on track, getting things done, and not overdoing/hurting myself is proving more and more difficult, because I feel like things keep piling up. I'm having a hard time prioritizing because there are many things that at least feel Very Important. (1/2)

Power’s restored… for now… didn’t realize how limited I was without electricity. It’s also raining here so it’s makes everything dark, so I can’t see much either 😅 and trying to set up either candles or flashlights… it wasn’t cutting it lol

Power’s out again 😒 went out just as I was waking up, so I couldn’t make my coffee. Back to the store for coffee, got an egg sandwich from another shop. So I’m going to enjoy my breakfast and figure out what I’m going to do today.

Power’s back!

Still no power, had to go to convenience store for coffee. Kitty is very confused why his water fountain isn’t working 🥲 my poor baby.

*sigh* my power has been out since 10:30 last night. Am definitely going to have to throw away everything in my fridge. Freezer should be okay for a while longer. It’s still dark out, kinda hot, and I don’t think I can sleep. This is so annoying.

Room mostly clean, did not find necklace was looking for but found a good replacement. Brain still scattered 😆 methinks this is a permanent condition 🤣🤣🤣

I decided I’m spending most, if not the whole day, cleaning up my room. Part of this is so I can find my necklace that I want to fix and hoping that if this room is clean and uncluttered my brain will follow ^_^

Day got hijacked a bit by losing energy and needing to take my friend to the doc (they’re okay, sprained ankle), and now it’s hot. I have iced coffee though, so hopefully I can sip on that, then some water, and I can drag out some of this stuff that I want done before my guest arrives.

Morning. Is my first day off work for summer, no temp jobs have come up yet. Back is still a mess so I’m going to be careful, but immobility isn’t good. There’s more to this list but these are the things i feel need to be done in light of having a houseguest tonight. Let’s f’in go ✊ *says sleepily*

I threw my back out. Acupuncturist told me while my back and hips are usually tense, she’s never seen it so bad before. Glad I got most everything done, because my guest arrives tomorrow and I don’t know how much I can do. But this is why I freak out about getting things done, because now? 🤷‍♀️

Feeling a little better today, slowly getting things together, a little progress is better than no progress at all ^_^

Got some done this morning, went through and deleted the finished tasks. The weather is iffy so we’ll see if I get outside again.

*faceplants* I suck. Can barely get a damn thing done. Did the weeding out front and cleaned up the kitchen, but didn’t really do much more >_< don’t really want to do anything 😓

So… yeah. This is the list for the weekend. Now nothing horrible will happen if I don’t get them all done. Some of them I might not be able to do because the weather might suck. It really is down to my energy and motivation, so… let’s see what happens. Might have a bit of energy to start now.

*siiiighs* I think right now I'm just tired and feeling a touch overwhelmed because there is a lot to do and I keep getting fanfic ideas and finding more things that need to be done and just.... gaaaah. Insane task list for the weekend incoming.

Yeah I really didn’t do too much else, kind of crashed out for the rest of the night 😅 though still am going to work on the task list and scheduling so we’ll see

Just can’t do the outdoor work, mowing the lawn was enough. Between the heat and the bugs… just… no. Getting the other stuff worked through though, so, that’s a plus.

When making these lists, I always wonder “should I put down what I think I can get done or everything I want to get done?” I think I’m going to try an experiment where I’m going to put what I think I can reasonably do in a day for a week, and then put in everything I’d like to do and see how I feel.

GUESS what SEASON it is!!!!! If you guessed it's "finding feral kittens" season combined with the evergreen "Erin is a sucker for feral kittens" season: you would be correct!! A friend has 6 feral kittens that need homes. The mama cat was not having a good time so she's turned over to a TNR group.

…. am I a little nuts on reviving one of my old Giga Pets? 😅

Well, I *was* going to go outside to do more yard cleanup, but I found I want bitten by another damn tick >_< so after spending most of the morning freaking out I was going to develop a horrid disease, I’m not going outside.

Not bad for the day, missing ingredients for the bread but may try a different type. I did as much outdoor work as I could, but couldn’t do it all. May still work on a few things this evening but I’ll check in with you all tomorrow ^_^

Not bad for the first couple of hours, especially since now I feel drained and have no motivation to really do anything else 😓 Pagan seems to want cuddles so I think I’ll let him and hopefully when he’s done I’ll feel like going outside for a bit.

All right, feel like I’ve been a little lazy this week, but also my knee seems to be acting up. Yesterday it hurt in the morning but when I got to work the pain went away so… 🤷‍♀️ I think this should be a reasonable list to get a lot done and not overdo it. Guess we’ll see.

Finished Apothecary Diaries, and yeah I love it. Maomao is so damn cute. And scary, but I kinda like that ( ^ω^ )

Started watching The Apothecary Diaries, am binging it before I lose my Netflix for a while. Oh. My. Goddess. This show is killing me, it’s hilarious, and so much shipping. So. Much. Shipping.

Old artwork but Happy Pride everyone! #pride #furry #lgbt+

Woot! Doing pretty good for once lol

Trying a new planner this year, let’s see if this helps me do my things better. Woke up later than I wanted so already my schedule is a bit off, but I’m sure I can catch up somewhere. My take list for now:

Started my day working outside because they say it’s going to rain for the whole weekend. I wish I kept going but I was getting hungry. Breakfast eaten, gonna take 5 more mins then get working inside. Here’s a little before and after ^_^

Woke up a lot less sore than I thought I would be. Supposed to be very warm today, am debating yard work. In thinking on my post from last night, the only other contact I have is blocking punches 🤣 that doesn’t sound right at all.

Just keep in mind that I'm really tired, sore, and achy right now. I've been feeling off for a while. Very edgy, mostly cranky, angry, sad, depressed, etc. Part of it is grief, I'm sure, but like... we all know how important actual physical human contact is to our health, yes? Physical and mental?

Heh, lookit that 😅 the litter boxes aren’t quite done, they’re washed, but air drying for a bit before I put them back together. The tofu is still defrosting, then it has to be dried. My hands hurt. I did spend a good solid hour+ on the ditch today, it’s going to take a lot of work.

Among the disappointments last week was realizing that I may be too late to grow any veggies. I might still try, we’ll see, honestly there’s so much to do outside and they’re predicting a very hot summer. One day at a time, here’s the plan for today.

Cool, glad I got all this stuff done. Sun is out, now, probably too wet to do too much outside though I wonder if I can mow. It’s going to rain most of the week I think, so… But I might not push it, I think I have whatever cold/virus I have beat and I’d like to keep it that way.

Doing ok, stopping to eat some lunch.

Still not feeling well but shit needs to be done.

I don’t know if I’m sick or my throat is sore from overuse. I don’t seem to have other symptoms except some congestion maybe, but hard to tell. The past few days have been really… disappointing. Been feeling lost, like I don’t belong anywhere, and nothing I do really matters. Showing up anyway.

I am putting crazy faith in my rice cooker… there’s a dietician on YouTube I like, she had a great recipe for a rice cooker meal that I tried yesterday. It was fantastic. Now I’m seeing if a recipe I know works in an oven will work in the rice cooker 😅 if it fails I’m ordering sushi lol

Oooooo *happy dances* I may have to either lower the oven temp or lessen the time but the inside looks good! Gonna let it cool a bit before I try it (this is always the hardest part).
