Personal Digest Saturday: September 30 – October 6

Life news this week: 
  • Saturday I got a ton of stuff done organizing and unpacking my kitchen. My mom's lawn specialist Tony came over and gave me a sewing desk and a bed frame from my mom, and he let me hire him to cut my grass too. We negotiated that and then after he left I ate a potato and made my first video in my new house. I also drew and posted a writing comic.
  • Sunday I spent a bunch of time organizing closets. They look good! I also paid bills, went to Target and Applebee's with Jeaux, and did laundry. I got a ton of organization done but I didn't get my bathrooms fully unpacked, which disappointed me because that was a weekend goal.
  • Monday I had to go back to work despite being really tired. I did a bunch of work on a utility coordination project we're hashing out at work. The only home organization thing I really got done was assembling some bathroom shelves I'd bought at Target. I fell asleep early because I'm really exhausted from all this.
  • Tuesday I had a lot of free-floating anxiety for some reason. The buses are changing in my area next week so soon I won't have a bus. After work I decided to take a walk down to the next closest bus stop to see how long it would take. It took half an hour. I had my bike with me so I could ride back, but instead of doing that I rode even farther to find out where the store is. I shopped at it and bought a few small grocery items, and then biked home. I got my bathrooms unpacked and also my shoes and purses. And even had time to draw some Steven Universe fan art.
  • Wednesday I was late for the bus so I took Lyft to work. I worked on some stuff for a presentation, and later I did blogging and drawing. When I came home I unpacked some hats before Jeaux came over. We went out to eat at Five Guys and listened to Night Vale and part of a show where Rebecca Sugar was on Tom Scharpling's show.
  • Thursday I was accidentally early to work. Still haven't really figured out these buses. I finished up the utility coordination work and when I got home I did some organizing in the house. Victor called and I finished drawing my webcomic while we talked. I got some drawers organized.
  • Friday I prepared a database of marketing contacts at the office. After work I hung my shower curtain in my other bathroom and tried that one out for my shower, and I ate a potato, posted my webcomic, and did a bunch more unpacking. I also found a GIANT SPIDER in the house. It was the largest spider I've ever seen in person! And I never caught it. :(

    Jeaux was wearing a shirt that matched the pillow I just bought
    so I had to take a picture!
