small braveries

  • supervisor meeting! Yesterday I stayed up til a quarter past midnight -- but only til a quarter past midnight -- finalising some edits to send over to my supervisor for discussion today. It is such a big deal that that now constitutes an unusually late night the day before a deadline; I am honestly really proud of myself for achieving it (and really grateful to A for facilitating). For bonus points, my supervisor was actually (1) happy with the writing, and (2) going "oh huh nice idea" at several points. We might have found a work rhythm that actually works for me. (On which topic: the paperwork's all sorted, I think, and I am very cautiously and tentatively hoping to Hand In Before My 30th Birthday.)
  • I wrangled my accounts some more. (I had been very nervous about this.) Perhaps this weekend I will actually settle myself down with my paper statements and reconcile things properly (or at least start out doing a week at a time of same).
  • With A's help, we have ORGANISED the FREEZER. I have discovered that we have vastly more pitta than any one household needs; that we have multiple open bags of Freezer Croissant and Frozen Raspberry; that we have, in fact, eaten most of the haggis stockpile; and that I'm probably going to have to make some hard decisions about prioritising the ice cream maker versus the vegetable stock. On the upside, I now have a better sense of what all ice cream we even have in, which is an encouragement to eat some, and I... have discovered the tub of green tomatoes I picked before we went to Belfast, and then froze in the interests of turning them, eventually, into chutney.
  • I have been gently and politely engaging with People on The Internet to ask them to consider being a little more kind. I will shortly to bed, but I think this in specific and particular probably counts as my good deed for the day.

That sounds like a lot of productivity to me!

That is really excellent, and I'm impressed.

Accounts are scary. Good job on facing them.

As a Person on The Internet, thank you.

Whooo, organized freezer! \o/ Last time I wrote down what all I have in it, and have so far been managing to keep that list updated, which is a pain but has been a great help.
