scatterframedA day early on my weekly post, but that's okay.
School has been going a little less good this week. I've had a really hard time focusing on anything, getting anything done has felt like pulling teeth. I'm also still waiting on a book for one of my classes and the professor said she can't post anymore chapters to get me through, but she did say she won't mark my stuff as late if I remind her about it. On one hand, very nice of her, on the other, boy am I gonna have a lot to do next week.
My ADHD medication appointment went fine, I shook all the way through it like a wet chihuahua but my wife was there to help, and she intervened with the doctor when I was starting to get overwhelmed. I got my prescription today and tried it for the first time, and it's really, really amazing how much clearer my brain is. I did a bunch of little tasks like shelving the DVDs I got a couple of weeks ago and cleaning up my jewelry supplies, and like. Even when I got sidetracked, I came back to the task? Very weird. I also felt like writing and then sat down and did some writing, which I'm pretty sure is illegal.
I also got to play mahjong with my wife, my roommate, and my work friend. I haven't made really genuine work friends like this who I'm comfortable hanging out with outside of work since I had a really bad experience a few years ago, and it's been really awesome getting to know her and not feeling like it's going to burn anything down. We had a lot of fun playing and she got along great with my wife and roommate, which made me feel warm and fuzzy.
I'm hoping to get a decent chunk of homework done tomorrow, and write with my wife if there's time. Next week is going to be insane and I'm trying to spread out all the crap I need to get done and also take time to relax in between tasks. We got a lot of my outside stuff done today, which is really helpful. I'm excited for the trip for my friend's wedding, but good god, it's so stressful and I'll be so happy when it's over. It seems like she kind of feels the same way: very excited to get married and have her wedding, but also REALLY looking forward to the amount of sleep she's going to get after.
I might check in tomorrow depending on how the day goes, but if not, I'll hopefully be reporting from a hotel room in Colorado next week!
