White cishet dudebro games journalists being my arch enemy aside, today is my Sunday equivalent!
Yesterday I played some Elden Ring with Greggo and Sam (finally beat Starscourge Radahn AND the horse he rode in on -- poor Leonard -- so I'm all set up to progress in Ranni's quest and see what's up with Nokris) and in general dooted around and had a good time. I also snagged a few level-ups which is good, because prior to that I was exactly at what the recommended level is for Caelid and I am frankly not good enough at Soulsborne games for that, I need some kind of buffer. So I have a bit more stamina and hit points under my belt and hopefully that'll help with the rest of that hellhole.
I also went on a nice run, finished up my painting projects (which mostly consisted of putting a varnish on Baby Dog's "painting" and goofing around with another thing), etc. I'm about to go run my errands really quick, probably knock out my run after that, and then play more video games until it's D&D time. It's been a nice and restful weekend! I slightly wish I hadn't been so sulky the first day of it, but I think I needed space to get that out of my system so, eh. It is what it is!
Okay, let me go knock out errands and then I have a few miscellaneous tasks I'll spread through the day (mostly Plants Maintenance; my basil is growing well but I want to spread it out a little since the pots I started them in are getting overcrowded). I also am approaching the new week (well, new for me, my work schedule splits weeks up weirdly) with a refocus on writing because I've definitely been putting in the bare minimum there and should do better.

To un-hidden-text my recent woes, I had a medical emergency yesterday so I'm a bit of a stressa contessa at the moment! I have some worries I'll have to cancel the vacation I have planned at the end of the month, which I wouldn't mind if there weren't other people involved who had already bought plane tickets and AirBnBs. I am sending a message now to said people to give them a general heads-up, at least, since by the end of today I'll have to make that decision.
Also, since my medical problem is abdominal pain related, I realized this morning my hunger cues are "gone" because I can't distinguish them from discomfort/pain. Two things about that:
1) my very first thought was "oh good I'll eat less" and holy disordered eating Batman, no! Bad! I bap my own brain!
2) I have NO IDEA when to eat and when not to eat and it's just a pain in the ass, I'll figure it out and set alarms or whatever idk but goddamn food is stupid and I hate it
I'm also just a little grumpy, in general. That's probably in no small part due to the hunger cues issue, so let me eat a food and then take a deep breath and try not to be an insufferable tantrum baby. The timing is just really unfortunate :(
So I have a bit more stamina and hit points under my belt and hopefully that'll help with the rest of that hellhole.
