Today has been very chill.

Today has been very chill.

I woke up around 9 because Scar was driving me crazy, so I fed him and went back to bed.  I woke up and got up around 2.

I skipped my thyroid meds this morning.  I had messaged my doctor, but not heard back yet.  Likely related, I haven't had any hot flashes or bouts of sweating.  My head also feels less... pressurized?  I don't know.  But I'm thinking that I might not need that medication anymore, or that I may need a lower dose.  I'm going to see how I feel; plus I have a checkup in 2 weeks, so we'll see.

I watched some YouTube videos with Shaun today.  We watched a few things and I didn't even scroll my phone for dopamine hits (nor did I feel the need to), so that is really nice.  I can't remember the last time I was just able to do. one. thing. and it keep my attention.

After I did my office hours, we put on a show and I went through and put 2 more sets of my swatch sticks and locations into my database.  I have considered doing one last ring of sticks to finish an entire helmer.  It's out and sitting by me, so I might.

I didn't touch my app at all today.  That's kind of a big deal because building the PWA is what led to this giant crash that I've been trying to recover from, so it's nice that I'm not going crazy on it.  I do have some homework to do, class tomorrow, and also the class I'm teaching to prepare for.  Maybe I'll get on top of my homework tomorrow.  I dabbled in it a little bit today, but not much.

Anyway, the day is winding down and I'm getting tired, so I'm heading to bed soon.  If I wake up early enough tomorrow, I might repot my indoor plants.  We'll see.  But I definitely needed this chilling out in a big way.  It's weird to see that I can be productive without being stressed and that I can also be productive without pushing myself to the max.  This actually feels sustainable, as long as I protect and budget my energy.

Exciting to probably no one but me...

Exciting to probably no one but me...

Out of 72 drawers I'm down to swatching the last 3 drawers of nail polish that are in my database. The 4 drawers of polish remaining after that are newbies that I need to put in my database as well as swatch.

So I didn't hit my December timeline on getting everything that's already catalogued swatched (and I knew I probably wouldn't), but this is still pretty great.

I'm doing a drawer of magnetics tonight, and a drawer of magnetics tomorrow. Those will take extra time to make sure the magnetic effect shows up on my swatch sticks. Then I'll do my duos, which will also take extra time because I need to swatch them separately and then together. After that, onto my new stuff!

I think I'm gonna have around 5000 nail polishes by the time it's all said and done... And that's a lot. (Please don't judge me too harshly - I've been collecting for many years. I still have polish I wore in high school.) I guess I will either need to stop buying or start destashing after this because I am running out of drawers to put them in. We shall see.
