Laundry;

Ordered some things I needed from Officeworks. When the website wouldn't work in Firefox [despite having always worked in Firefox until now], I tried it again in Safari, and managed to order, even though this required resetting my password because I rely on Firefox to remember all my passwords for me;

Messaged someone to arrange collection of a Buy Nothing item;

Despite the weather being cold, grey, overcast, and despite my cat's constant escape attempts, made more than eight (8) trips outside to take rubbish to the outside rubbish bin. Did not let my cat outside once.

Huzzah for successful cat-wrangling, and the rest! :)

Another crappy, crazy day. I wiped down the living room, dining room and kitchen, got the second load of laundry in the dryer. had to take my Mom's taxes to the post office, pick-up the dog's food and pills from the vet, dropped off the donation bag that's been piling up for months, also dropped off a box of food for the Food Bank drive and brought Mom home some chicken noodle soup from Chick-Fil-A since her wonky stomach is a bit iffy still. I still have a bunch of crap to do do today, but I'm so tired and stressed after the post office. I can't believe that people in the post office are not being made to wear masks and distance. I really need to move away from idiots.

You have been an excellent carer and done loads of adulting. I'm sorry there are so many inconsiderate people around, making those things more difficult and stressful for you.

Thank you. I just feel like I'm taking my life in my hands when I have to leave. And that puts my Mom in danger. I just don't understand why people don't give a crap about others. This country is going to hell in a hand basket.

Finished writing up a description and a rubric one of the three forms of assessment I'll be using for my module in September, and sent it to my mentor so they'll have time to look at it before we talk on Friday. Got started on another of the assessments.

Yay for proactive work.

Read some more in my book and talked with a neighbor again.





Then another neighbor and I went with a tutor out to visit some former neighbors at their new place. We had a great time and they're doing well. They ordered carry-out from a BBQ place right by their house. I hadn't eaten from this restaurant before but the food was very good. For dessert, we had some bread which my mother baked and gave to me.

[silveradept]

Oh, yay for the baked bread and other good food.

I continue to try and leverage what privilege I have, hopefully to good ends and making the organization less terrible. (In this specific case, advocating against publishing raw but anonymized data that would not be difficult to re-identify people with.)

[nanila]

Well done for standing up for those who can't advocate for themselves due to the very nature of the issue. *\o/*

Helped with some light research.

Dishes.

Did a fair amount of the work for pizza, including getting toppings ready before the dough was done rising.

Finished reading a book.

[nanila]

Mmmm, homemade pizza. You are great. <3

[azurelunatic]

It was a whole household project! I love that I can get something started then tag someone in.
