Too many fucking things, I am exhausted, I cannot even.

Showed a friend around London. Fielded multiple phonecalls about housing (and then the follow-up e-mails when I got home, after 10pm) (these were unpredictable phonecalls and I had no idea who was calling or what about except that it was probably an estate agent based on area code). Ate three meals. Stayed hydrated. Made Stuff Happen wrt my ongoing Issues with my future institution (I was right next door, on account of museums, so it was very easy to pop in and look pathetic at the amazing department admin who really had been just about to do it). And I went to therapy and dealt with therapy and it wasn't hard at the time (because I am super-cagey about that) but now it really is, and lovely new counsellor was gently suggesting that maybe I would find life easier if I dealt with some of that hard stuff in, you know, the actual room, rather than storing it up to feel exhausted by later.

So. Much. Stuff. And I have another two days of showing friend around, and then estate agents and doctor-shouting-at on Monday, before I can collapse. (But I also arranged to see the Boything for a brief respite tomorrow, so. Hopefully that will help.)

Whoa, that is hardcore. I hope you have an appropriate sense of accomplishment to go along with the exhaustion!

From:

kaberett

Thank you! I am beginning to get some sense of same, which is... nice.

From:

shanaqui

That's a lot of stuff to be dealing with! Go you.

From:

shehasathree

Ohhh, unpredictable phonecalls. :s
Well done!

From:

Put up stuff on my wall.

Also dealt with my father.

From:

Fathers can be daunting.

From:

Parents are hard. Well done.

Conducted an informational interview, despite having a morning full of interpersonal anxiety. <_<

From:

shanaqui

Oh go you! Anxiety is so hard to beat.

Spent time in my (home) office yesterday and today, and did some billable paying work for the first time since the end of May. I also drove alone for the first time in ages today, not far, but I got something accomplished by doing so. I had major open abdominal surgery on July 1, so these are all good landmark moments for one month out.

Excellent! It sounds like congratulations are in order on the progress of your recovery (and I always feel accomplished when I drive for the first time after a long time without doing any driving, and realize I still can, so go you)!

From:

magistrate

Awesome! Long may you continue to mark progress.

From:

shanaqui

Oh goodness. Sounds like you're doing amazingly.

I finished the footnotes and submitted my journal article, although I expect it will need more revisions after the reviewer has a go at it.

I also went out to a dinner and concert with my mom, sister, and grandpa, which I've been dreading all week, and actually enjoyed it. I'm hugely relieved about that!

From:

ashkitty

Yay! Of course it will need revising, that's what reviewers are for, but how awesome for being done!

From:

shanaqui

Go you!

I'm just starting on a free-fiction posting adventure myself; it really is quite anxiety-inducing. Aaaall the insecurities come out to play. *high-fives*

From:

shanaqui

Yay for getting past your nerves!

From:

Went out to get more ginger ale for sick roomie.

From:

Aw, I hope it helped them!

Walked home for an hour after I missed the bus.

From:

Eek, lotta walking! Go you.

I rewrote an old ficlet of mine into Welsh.

From:

shanaqui

Oooooh. I wish I could write in Welsh. Or understand Welsh at all, actually.

From:

ashkitty

You should learn! SaySomethinginWelsh.com is good and also free, but there are classes all over Cardiff!

Was not anxious when I was the only volunteer who showed up to the run the library yesterday.

I climbed the four flight of stairs to my best friend's flat not once but 3 times yesterday, without stopping at every floor \o/ there will be more climbing of stairs in the next few days too.

I went to the doctor's appointment I'd made (see, I think, Thursday's post) even though I was feeling better (see Murphy's law). Which was nice, because she confirmed no infection but gave me my prescription for Sudafed (prescription-only here, argh) and an extra one for an antibiotic to fill and take if I needed it later, so yay doctors who think I can judge for myself what I need.
