Ugh Hil, sometimes university bureaucracy can be maddening. My boss made a point this year of getting out offers to the top candidates ASAP because he finally--after over a decade--realized how many hires we were losing because our offers came so late.

I hope today is better, Laura.

One is how my brain works, the other is how it doesn't.

I love this way of looking at it, Plei.

And now my landord emailed me to tell me to put the trash bags into a trash can. I give up. This paper is not getting recycled.

Hil, how annoying.

I'm at the library bookstore bored and hungry, but I can't decide what I want to get for dinner when I leave.

Trader Joe's finally opened up in Burlington so I went. It was SLAMMED and the parking lot is tiny. And they are opening up a Pier 1 right next to it, I have no idea how the parking is going to work. The TJ's is small, I bet if you smooshed the TJ's space and the Pier 1 space together it would still be small for a TJ.

I got some frozen stuff I'll see how I like it, mostly I was in a haze. I haven't been sleeping well and today should have been a day off but I had to go in this morning (closed last night).

I also seemed to have dumped my therapist. I didn't mean to but the sheduling was getting weird and I kept missing appointments. I have a line on some nurse practitioners that are taking patients for meds management but I a little heistant because based on their website their practice is way more woo-ish than I normally like my medicine. But I need to call anyway.

In three ish weeks I'm going to Florida for a visit and see my family I'm excited.

And I keep trying to find some sort of something to do to get me out of the house. There's not a knitting group around here that I can find that seems to work with my work schedule. I'm thinking of getting back into reading comics (which I relaly do like) so getting weekly pulls will get me out of the house.

I got feedback from work which too me a few minutes to understand, my manager told me I get a lot of feedback. Which kind of confused me, but then he explained that he tells me stuff because he knows I can take the feedback and I'll use it to get better rather than getting upset or taking it the wrong way.

I thought about that for a minute and said something like, well sometimes at first I get a little defenisve and then I realize whatever I'm being told is just going to help me do my job.

And my manager was like, "and that's why you get feedback".

I also really need to mow my lawn but it keeps raining off and on and it's way too wet to mow anything.

Penny just peed in front of the litter box and I realized it's not the first time she's done this recently. The litter is relatively fresh but I think the box needs a good cleaning. One the list tomorrow is a run for some litter and I think I have some Nature's Miracle to use to clean the box. And the rug in front of the litter box and possibly the carpet.

Why can't pets be easy?

Because caring for others is hard sometimes.

Speaking of, cat peed on my bed again because she got shut in the room by accident. So instead of TCB I was taking care of laundry today.

Given the amount of pee and poo involved with real pets, if I ever get to the point of being able to afford it, I think I'll buy a robot pet.

TCG was bitten by a tick today. So, we spent the afternoon at urgent care instead of at my cousin's wedding. We should still make it to the reception tonight barring any other disasters.

We made it to the wedding reception, and now we're back at Mom's and finally watching the finale of Hannibal.

Glad TCG is okay.
