With a substantial amount of help from J, the cricut seems to be working for its intended purpose. It’s a game changer, really.

Didn’t really start the orders yesterday, but today I will for real. Each days I start out with a sense of what I should be doing and over the course of the day it all fragments, even if I make a to do list. But yesterday my desire was to scrap the cricut and cut everything by hand just for a sense of progress. I’m glad I didn’t.

Went out for a meal with my FB friend who moved here who I hadn’t really hung out with much yet. And his partner. They’re both autistic and anyway I quite like them. I got infodumped on various linguistics topics and also Japanese culture and it was way better than most conversations. But it still wiped me out and I passed out for a 2-3 hour nap as soon as I got home, basically.

Mom has pneumonia and pulmonary embolisms. They’ve got her on antibiotics. It’s a lot of work for my cousin, going to the hospital several times a day to check on her. I don’t know what else I should be doing. I don’t know if I should offer to go there. I can’t, really.
