W13 - real debacle of a shift but we made it; work is going to be very interesting for the next few months; picked Rimworld back up to unwind

T26 - bad news on the housing front, alas - very shitty and destabilizing but we persevere (work also kind sucked but it's fine)

W27 - husband took the day off so we went thrifting, though alas we were unsuccessful; more sustained work on the papercraft because it's what i always do when facing financial anxiety

t28 - long light rain all day, a bunch of heavy lifting at work, then back to the no thoughts all paper while watching a new favorite video essayist

F29 - sick? question mark? sent home from work early because i was pitiful, took the most disorienting nap, then watched dandadan 2x05+06 (and laughed my ASS off at 06 in particular)

F5 - restful sleep, work surprisingly uneventful though i doubt that will be the case tomorrow, finished dandadan s2 finally (the cliffhangerrrrr)
