Alright, after some drama and use of a broomstick (not by me...) sox was bundled into her carrier and all her bits and pieces taken away. Made sure to eat something, finished up all the other house chores, stopped for an existential panic moment, then went to the laundromat and dried a huge load, and now I'm parked at the office willing myself to attack the method section (it needs to be dramatically shorter and replaced with some diagrams that I have on hand). I picked the easiest bit to do today because I knew the morning was a writeoff.

Wish me energy and concentration. I've had my meds, a coffee, and now a tea with a biscuit, and I still feel like burying myself in bed. I'll try and get out of here before 9pm at least and have a good night's sleep before tomorrow's new session of writing back at the uni library. I am at least relieved in the back of my head that I've now got clean clothes and a clean house again

⚡️💪for energy and concentration. You’re smashing it!

Good luck with your work tonight.

You’re getting there and nearly done I hope.

You can do it!

Thanks. I'd say I'm past the 50% mark overall but still a lot of work to do to get to the 90%-complete level where I can send it to my supervisor. At least i feel like some major blockages have been cleared. I think I won't push myself too hard tonight because I need to sustain momentum for a few more days rather than burn out too fast.

You can do this. Well done with the clothes and food while in the middle of it. That's life sorted.

Here's a sleepy sun kitty to help

I wanna join sleepy sun kitty and bury my face in that glorious sun-kissed fur (even if only for 0.1 seconds)!

But no, I shall stare relentlessly at Microsoft Word
