Not enjoying the thing where the government.
I was going to finish that sentence but I had two simultaneous not-enjoys jump in immediately, and I know there are more, so yeah, that.
I am very tired and should be allowed to sleep extra when the government.
Hello, it's apparently a new week!
There are way way too many things I am behind on at work, and it's fucking up my brain some. I keep doing the "I need to do things so I will not sleep until I get them done -> don't sleep -> also don't get them done -> muddle through somehow anyways" pattern. It's not good!
At least I've hit enough deadline-walls that there's only two things I'm actually "behind" on now. Sigh.
Of the two things I'm still "behind" on, neither has had any progress. Fun! My boss has annoyed me about the one. No one has annoyed me about the grading yet, but that's probably coming up soon.
Maybe today will be the day I get things done? We've had three days of test proctoring, where the schedule is all wiggly. Tuesday I didn't do much, yesterday I was very full of what my therapist termed "productive avoidance". I asked her if that was a real term, and she said not really, but I like it a lot, so I'm trying to get it locked into my head and then I'll start propagating it.
I've entered a little competition with SamSam to see which of us can be better at predicting and adhering to our sleep schedule for a week, both getting into and out of bed. The biggest conclusion is being forced to admit that I probably do need to get more than six hours of sleep a night on the regular. Ugh. Sigh. Hate, etc. (the very few times I've ever come close to managing this regularly, have implied that I might be better able to control my ADHD if so. Unfortunately, my personal ideal schedule and my work schedule are at least four hours off from each other, so six is really all I can reasonably expect from myself, and then more on weekends to make up for it.)
Nothing has changed about the needing to do things, except maybe my outlook? I had very good dance last night, and Tuesday is here, and the thing where Community Is Good is also good for my brain and my Self.
I am very cold and loathe to go outside, where the windchill is going to be Worse. 
My wallet is missing (probably a student stole it) and I have had at least one mild to major dysreguating event every fucking day of school for like two weeks now.
And I can't solve the puzzle in Stardew and SamSam did and I'm jealous and mad about it and then I'm mad about being mad.
Today is not very good and I would like more sleep but I have been late to work way too often lately and can't do that again today.
(at least I actually did go through comics, for the first time in over a week, and I haven't read here yet (sorry) but opening it is the first step.)
I've now caught up on reading here! Yay!
Yesterday I did all the things on my Habitica list, which is rare and good. It was a nice thing, to feel like I could actually get stuff done. I still feel like shit re: work, and I'm still late all the time, but that's good movement in the right direction.
And I did solve the Stardew puzzle, and I have been very slightly vindicated in my jealousy by learning that SamSam didn't actually solve it, they just kept doing random things until one worked. It was a little funny when I told them I did it and they were all "so like, was there a clue somewhere I couldn't find?" given that the clue is very public, just neither of us realized it was a clue forever and ever. And now I've absolutely breezed through the next part of the puzzle, and they're all like "???" which I suspect is because they care absolutely not a whit for the social parts of the game, except in regards to getting recipes from people. I don't have any interest in game-romance (unless marrying someone will make them do the parts of my farm chores I don't wanna, I am entirely uninterested) but I do like knowing all the npcs and being friends with them.
Now there's one more puzzle I know they've solved (and I have basically zero idea what to do there --they have told me it's not a "I have scads of money and that's how I solve problems" solution, at least) and a couple island things I'm completely lost on. I'm fairly certain there's an entire chunk of island I've just never figured out how to get to, and I am steadily getting closer to spoiling it for myself because it's driving me up a wall.
Now it's time for work.
