day 4 - thu oct 7

ugh, the day i couldnt shift

woke 9 am out of bed by 9:15

better than used to

used to set alarms for 1-2 hours every 15 min and still groggily adn barely make it out, sometimes i didn't

breakfast toast and butter and jam and tea and pills and drops and brush teeth and hair and get dressed

no time to brush mouthguard though or do dishwasher emppty/refull :( how was i so on the ball day 1?

worked 10-12

now it's 12:30 and i've been blogging and financing instead of eating lunch, gotta fix that

work again at 1

tonight is the roast i hope it'll have been on 30 hours

need to find time to roast teh caarrots and potatoes and peel the potatoes sigh

If i keep this schedule i need to learn to prepare meals in advance on weekend or something which means i need more weekend time

FML why hasn't automation made for shorter weeks like 32 hours? 3 day weekends

banana bun
had breakfast
made tea
took eye drop
started unloasing washer
got dressed

had a work meeting at noon (like tdi yesterday)

didn't manage to take pills, brush teeth before work started which is disappointing

then pokemon and youtube

then worked 8-12 instead of 8-10 since i started early so overworked b/c so much to do :( bad me

got through personal emails, mostly

didn't get in any GHC on demand

didn't get any TDI done :( needed to

attempted sous vide getting it into the damn bag (it was the same size) was hard let's see how it comes out
