Physically it wasn't as taxing, but was still taxing due to a work incident--I'm not comfortable sharing the details in a public space (my online life and my work life for some reason have zero intermingling, but it's through no effort of mine; it's very easy to learn I am Bree Lewis of the Bellevue Y), but something at work was really draining and wasn't great. One of my bosses is...not thrilled at it.
Then after that, we went to the food bank for the first time. Despite this being a thing which shouldn't be done, half the food was already or is about to expire, but...it's still a release of a financial burden. We didn't get everything we need, but we got a lot we did, and by getting it, we can use it and by using it, we're not using as much food we have to buy. We still do need to buy SOME things, but we need to buy less.
It was hugely stressful, like on Monday.
But not as bad.
And at the end of the day...I still ended up getting a good deal done.
I got inspired to clean more, and my fiance having seen my ideas is inspired themself. Because they are inspired, the work is likely going to be done.
We took the time to begin pursuing taking control of our lives.
We've still got a lot more to do.
We still need to get the financial relief.
We still need to get the food program relief.
We still need to get the blood/plasma donations.
We still need to be smart and budget and such.
We still need to continue cleaning.
I still need to do my stream, which I put off doing today because of the things we needed to do.
I still need to do art.
I'm doing this blog, which is a nice start.
But, there is a lot more to do.
I'm just also saying we got a lot done to be proud of.
Mental is improving.
Physical is maintaining.
Financial is on the right track, with my raise being official. (It's a dollar less than I was hoping for, but it's still a ridiculously good raise.)
Things are improving, and I need to seize this momentum and keep it going.
So, tomorrow we pursue doing exactly that.
