Tumblr did not want me to post this one.

Institutions suck and administrative tasks are hell

Today is day 13 out of 15 days at a temporary stay in a local nursing home. So, not a hospital, but very much an institution still. I'm both bored and annoyed on multiple different levels. But! My partner has gotten a much needed break thanks to me staying here, and that is worth it.

This is my 16th stay in a hospital/institution and all things considered this one has been pretty comfortable compared to the other 15. Most of the other 15 were just straight up traumatising.

While here I've not really done anything, it was supposed to be a stay for rehabilitation reasons, but one of their PTs (physical therapists) has been on vacation and the other one has been on sick leave. I was meant to talk to an OT (occupational therapist) but it kinda just didn't happen. A lot of things have been kinda just not happening here. Understaffing, hooray.

It feels kind of like I'm being put on a shelf and only looked at for brief intermittent maintenance, to be honest. I shared that with a few of the nurses and they said I'm not the only one saying that... :/

Anyway.

I've attempted to tackle overdue and much needed administrative tasks while here, cause I've got limited video game access and need something to do.

So I've played an absolute crapton of puzzle games, and worked a lot on different spreadsheets. Puzzles and spreadsheets make the creature happy.

I do wish solving anything in my life wasn't reliant on a full-time job's worth of admin task hours, tho. Like it took me 5 hours to sort all the major goals for unfucking our situation, immediate tasks to do, and calendar of upcoming dates. That's 5 hours of sorting information for the sole purpose of more effectively recruiting people I know to help with all the tasks on the ToDo spreadsheet that I can't do on my own. Like approximately a zillion phonecalls and about a petabyte worth of application writing. Maybe mildly exaggerated.

It's so much! work! to! do!

I just want a little home on the coast and in-home carers so I can stay institutionless and at least mildly content with my state of being alive in a flesh prison body suit. But the system is built for people like me having parents to sort that shit out. And I just don't have parents. But I also don't have the ability to fix everything, because - shockingly - being disabled impairs my ability to do the things.

So yeah I've been bored and mad at the administrative workload and also playing so many puzzle games. So. Many. I've been especially fixated on puzzles from Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection and can absolutely recommend those. There's a bunch, on Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and webversion. My favourites are Unruly, Guess, and Map. Please tell me if you try any of them I would love to talk puzzles. Puzzles make me happy, a bajillionty admin tasks do not.

sorry to read that tumblr is banned in your country. we had the same situation in ours a few years back & i remember i used to used vpn apps to access tumblr. hope that works out for you!

Hi sweet anon! That's exactly what I'm doing right now. VPNs make everything SO SLOW though, so it's been a hellish few days. Trying to find a VPN that works best for me. Uploading new posts with edits (heavy files) is the hardest, and I love creating edits so that really sucks, but I'm not going anywhere. Where there's a will...
