Burying the lede
May. 12th, 2020 02:00 amSOME STUFF I ACCOMPLISHED TODAY:
*Ordered my very first commission of an OC from a random stranger and gosh I'm excited about this process! I got to write up a description of Dante and I keep flailing at the nice artist and being pumped and I'ma tip them well and I am so so _so_ happy to have reached a point in my life where this is a thing I can do sometimes with my money without freaking out about like, if I'm still gonna be able to eat.
*Played Animal Crossing, failed to get a pretty phoenix to live on my island because NOOOOOOOOK *shakes fist*, otherwise enjoyed myself, got stung by wasps twice in a row and got an achievement (I am _shocked_ it took me this long, I am apparently pretty decent with medicine, which is extra funny because I straight refuse to make it because I'm hoarding all the wasps nests in the world for ??? reasons). Also made about 80k at a mystery island *and* made it back home in time to sell to the nooklings. (I was worried I wouldn't, I was trying to get every space available as a 1k or better thing, and I had two spots left when I spotted the scorpion...)
*Came out to my boss about being nonbinary, will move forward with that in general. Also had a very nice phone call with green club co-advisor coworker where I came out to her but it sorta started with her being like "yeah, you know how you were being completely unsubtle when we were talking about what nonbinary thing to call my eldest and you were all 'my mom had that problem and uh LOOK OVER THERE A DISTRACTION'" which was pleasing unto me.
*My therapist did a happy dance for me over videochat because I got my professional status and like...I'm super pleased and happy about it. I also feel kinda weird and worried that the pandemic is blurring the therapist/friend boundary a little bit --like, I'm pretty sure we're both gonna stay professional and it's not gonna get weird, but there's certainly a little more looseness in things she says about her personal life, in part because like...I think everyone's just a little bit more weird about not getting to see anyone enough and we wanna do the reach out and connect.
(Or maybe I'm just projecting like whoa. Still, it's nice to feel a rapport, even with professionals you give the moneys to.)
*Made dinner, which is silly to list as an accomplishment, because it was canned raviols, but I'm still pleased to have helped out a bit occasionally.
*Had lots and lots of good social connection today, including a *lovely* conversation with a college friend that boiled down to "let's talk shit about our exen, because hell yes salt is an important part of a balanced diet" and also to be fair, these particular exen blow.
*Did the minimum necessary amount of work-work (tomorrow is, as always, the hard day). Did not do any project work or computer stuff. I'd say tomorrow I need to work on that but nooo. Wednesday I do need to work on that though! Definitely need to draft up a thing for the secret project thing!
I hope you're doing well. You have my love, and someday you will even have my attention again. (I feel weird and bad I've not been reading dreamwidth, but brain's gotta brain sometime).

(disclaimer: I have learned and grown in the seventeen years since I started this journal, please don't yell at me for, eg, being super slut shamey as a fifteen year old)
