Doing better. Last night there was a birthday thing for a friend at a bar. I figured it'd be too loud and crowded and I wouldn't handle it well all things considered. So Will and Roq went and I stayed home and almost immediately filled up the tub with hot water and bubbles, lit some candles, and soaked for like two hours. After that I laid about in bed, resting and relaxing, watching Netflix and giggling at silly things on the internet.

Sleeping was iffy. I think I had a fountain coke at lunch and for some goddamn mysterious reason the caffeine in that owns my ass. Didn't really get to sleep until 2am. Will was home. I tossed and turned a bit here and there and kept waking up. Finally between the caffeine-of-fuck-you and hip pain I went to sleep on the couch (there's a section in the middle of the couch that's a bit hard and when my hip hurts the pressure actually kind of helps so laying on that side means I can sleep)

The night of self-care helped a LOT. Got up relatively early considering how badly I slept. Enjoyed my coffee, did a doodle, and got to work. Finished a commission, started on two more, got the details and payment for a couple more.

Had a massage appointment (something I need to get back into doing regularly) and Will and I went to Target after. I treated myself to comfy soft warm PJ pants (from the men's section so there's pockets, yay!) and some socks. Also picked up coffee and some foodstuffs. Will was in a picky eater mood and I tried to get us something relatively healthy for the night but settled on pizza.

Got home and opened up a small can of gooshy food for Diana. She's still not doing well. Very barely eating (with constant encouragement), weak, tired, quiet, lethargic... very worried about her. Called up CareCredit to ask for them to send me a new card and update my info so I can use the account to take her to the vet. Made an appointment for Monday. This weekend I'll keep a close eye on her and make her eat as much as I can. I'm worried, but hoping she'll be okay. She's got to be around eight years old now... she's considered a senior and it's about time I found her a regular vet and kept a closer eye on her health.

So...

Yeah.

Will leaves tomorrow for his LARP. I'm worried about his back but he's promised to be careful and I gave a mutual friend yelling rights so she can follow him around and keep an eye on him for me. :P He'll be back late Sunday.

Tomorrow if Diana is doing worse I'll take her to an emergency clinic (same if she's doing worse Saturday or Sunday)... otherwise the goal tomorrow is to get as much work done as I can and leave my weekend open to relax. Hoping to hang with a friend Saturday but otherwise stay home and do a jigsaw puzzle.

I'm improving. I'm not out of the woods as far as all the stress and tenseness and fear and self-imposed responsibility and guilt, but... I can see my way out. I'm getting there.
