#bad scheduling

Just realized I scheduled a 6-hour licensing test three days after the release of Kingdom of Ash.  That’s going to be...interesting...

You know, when I scheduled my post about my Dandadan oc to go up today I completely forgot that we were getting the new chapter today. Makes me wonder if people checking the Dandadan tag are desperately looking for posts about the latest chapter (fair, me too), see that my post definitely has nothing to do with it, and scroll past. Might've been a bad day to post it.

Not that I expected a ton of interest to begin with. Still, I think it might be a good idea for me to wait a couple days and then do a self repost.

How am I supposed to find the energy to write when my job never gives me more than 1 day off in a row? I can either sleep and rest to get ready for the next shift, or try and cram as much responsibility into one day as I can.

How do I do that? How do I manage my rapidly declining mental health when I'm never given the opportunity to actually take care of it? The ONLY reason I'm doing this job at all is because I have bills to pay. If I could work part time and write part time, I would in a heartbeat. But I'm just always focusing on having to go to work. I DON'T WANNA GO TO WORK

I wanna drown in my imagination and come up for air with a finished story. I wanna lie in bed and stare at the ceiling until my main character makes sense. I wanna listen to my playlist until the plot makes sense. I want to watch the clouds pass by until the side characters purpose parts the clouds and let's the sun shine through.

I want to CREATE. I don't want to help ppl back up their icloud photos for 45 minutes at a time

Got the alien implant birth control thing done last night after work. Realizing today that getting it done at the beginning of the work week was a BAD CHOICE. And of course I’ve had to lean on that arm and use that arm and wiggle into awkward contorted positions all day (mechanic—business as usual).

Motherfucking ow.

Am resisting the inexplicable urge to punch myself in the affected area to give my arm a goddamn reason to be hurting.

Getting up Early.

You'd think breakfast starts at 6:30-7:00 at the earliest. Noooo. It starts at 7:30 when class is literally just 30 minutes away. Ugh. I know it sounds meaningless but to be early is to be on time and to be on time is to be late. I like sitting outside the classroom at least 1-2 hours early and at most 30 minutes early. If class starts at 8 then breakfast should start at at least 6:30. I don't have time to eat and wait for the bus and walk to class all in 30 minutes. That 30 minutes could be used to study before entering the class room or making sure you have everything. I realize it's gonna be 7 am and no one would read this nor care but I just needed to get this out of my system.

I'm on hour 9 of 14, I have only had coffee today and some granola 10 hours ago, I can sleep for about 4 hours before having to wake up to work another 10 hours, then I will run home and eat/sleep for 2-3 hours (nap), go see my friends band from Eugene that is touring through Seattle tomorrow night, sleep for 6 hours, then wake up and work again. That is my plan. No time for anything between. This is literally my life all of the time. If I die, food and sleep will revive me. Thank you.

Knee injections + basic life support training = ???

So I’ve been flaring for about 20 months now. We’ve tried adding a DMARD and changing biologics... in fact, I’ll be trying my third biologic starting this week. There has been a joint injection, which helped for a few weeks, and oral prednisone, which helped a little until we backed off the large starting dosage. Today I got a second injection in that same joint because it’s hard to be running around in medical school on a knee that refuses to function even semi-normally (and I use ‘running’ loosely because let’s be honest, jogging isn’t even something the knee lets me do these days).

I have to do basic life support training today.

If I remember correctly, doesn’t CPR require you to be on your knees?

Oh boy, hopefully there’s a modification for that puppy because I am most definitely not supposed to be kneeling today. 

Keeping the chin up though! I should get some relief from the injection soon and maybe this new med will be the one! :)
