Win of the day: the cat ate his dewormer pill on first try!!! The special smaller one sourced directly from the vet, because we had such a hard time getting him to take the 1,5 bigger pills last year, he spat them out so many times and I kept buying more. But now, a tiny one embedded in a treat...

Went for a massage therapy session on a surprisingly sunny day, however this being mid-December bright sky meant a drop in temperature. It's been blissfully snow-free here so far, and I've just worn mostly the same gear as I did in October, too.

Listing everything took ages, but someone did buy a dress I'd listed months ago, after I dropped the price by 5€. Baby steps.
Otherwise I've been pretty useless all day. Without having to get myself together for class, I tend to revert into idle navel-gazing.

Anyway. My wardrobe is reorganized - always such a nice feeling, and I gained a little bit of space by pulling about a dozen pieces. Gonna take pictures and list them, and, idk, should probably drop the prices on the existing listings so something sells.

So, after a thorough search of my wardrobe, I am relieved to report I found nothing else with moth damage. The two little holes on that one sweater actually line up when it's folded, work of 1 lone pest. Idk, maybe it had a single egg laid on it when I washed it and let it dry in the hall?

Well, I did the paperwork. I am actually *good* at paperwork, but bad at getting started/managing to find the focus. Now to tackle the wardrobe... I hope the bastards haven't gotten to anything I actually care about, because I don't have the time nor the materials to mend lots of things.

Also, I completely forgot about an event that was happening at work today. Not that it mattered much or that I'd wanted to be there, in fact I'm sure there were people there I'd much rather avoid. Instead, went for the last workout session of the year.

Intense task paralysis. I want to handle a paperwork thing and then empty my wardrobe in search of more moth damage (I had actual nightmares about everything in there being chewed up). But then again I hate the idea of handling the paperwork thing too much to start. OTL

Relieved that the classes are over, but struggling to focus on the home stretch of completing tasks like grading. Would so much rather just idle the days away with whatever little tasks at home. And naps on the sofa may happen even when I've had a decent amount of sleep type of thing.

Well, this didn't last, he is physically a little better but his grip on reality is pretty much gone. To the point where he no longer calls my mother, because he doesn't think he has her number. His children are looking for a care home placement.
Unexpected development, dad's friend who's been seen by idk how many doctors already was finally hospitalized, they're dissolving a couple of blood clots, and as a side effect, it's helping immensely with his cognitive issues.
I am certainly still feeling quite a way about my dad not making it to 70, otoh there's reason to be thankful he's not around to see things, the first thing that gave me this feeling was the start of war in 2022, and now one of his besties from uni is declining fast, cognitively and physically.

Also, you would expect things like contract renewals and changes would be discussed beforehand amongst professionals, but in this case this is on me, not the organization, it's just one of the things I've been avoiding because I couldn't cope with handling it (v. mature of me, I know).

Mustered the courage to look at the scary thing (namely, contract changes for next year) and it was as good as I could hope for. Full time till the end of August w a small raise, even, then half until the end of the year. (Then, who knows, need to apply for grants.)
Also a small end-of-year bonus.

HOW fid I last post 9 days ago??
Thought for sure there was something from last weekend...
All things considered, November flashed by at a shocking speed. Unsure if it's a cognitive thing relating to sertraline or just business as usual.

You'd think I might have managed to post something, considering how little time I've spent asleep over the past 72 hours, but you'd be wrong.
Ehh. Sleep deprivation aside, I've done mostly okay.

Quiet Saturday, slept a lot, did laundry, made pumpkin soup (Hokkaido pumpkins are a revelation!), read something for a peer review.

Why are people liking the down duvet and nice sleep post, is it the vibes? Maybe I haven't affichéd it enough that while I'm meh on astrology in general I do exhibit the stereotypical Taurus affinity to mundane hedonism, i.e. the nicest bedding I can afford, excellent pyjamas, etc.

Sleeping with the down duvet was oh so nice. And I went to the physio's for a good workout, and got some groceries. Not the most productive of days, but at least trying to stay on top of emails.

As for the general state of things, parts of the country had heavy snowfalls, my corner thankfully got just a very beautiful buildup of frost from the mists blown in over the sea. I finally switched to the feather duvet, because who are we kidding, the winter is here.

Didn't get round to posting anything, but yesterday, one of the major stress factors of the past few months at work was finally resolved, allowing me to take the next steps, which immediately turned into a new set of problems, but I feel less solely responsible for handling those.

Timestamps on comments are the bane of my existence. There was some ass-backwards way of removing them in Word, but my current options are Docs or LibreOffice Writer, neither of which has this option, and hoo boy do I not appreciate this tattling on my unstandard working hours.

Well, after an entire weekend of feeling destroyed by anxiety, I looked at my emails and there weren't any new flaming disasters, so I'm grateful for that.

Disappointed to find that email anxiety is back in full force this weekend. It is linked to specific people, most of all my former boss, now senior colleague. And it's really in the way of completing other, more manageable tasks, because the files I need are also in the inbox. OTL

First snow on the ground, and I just ate the last of the cherry tomatoes that grew on the balcony over the summer (picked the green ones off sometime last week, they quickly ripened once indoors and were surprisingly tasty).
