Today I learned that there is a severe worldwide shortage of ADHD meds, and that mine in particular won't be available until the end of the year at least.

I'm freaking out. I can't function without this shit. If I try to go back to work without it it'll be a absolute fucking disaster. I'm not safe to drive without it. I have a week and a half left of meds and after that I'm well and truly fucked.

Sounds like a conspiracy to sell more energy drinks/create more meth addicts.
 
Went to the walmart downtown because I really needed motor oil. Just one question - why are they like this? Why does every black person hate themselves so much they permeate the very environment the exist in with shit?
 
Today I thought about stopping smoking and the mere thought turned my stomach.

Tonight I got to see Dave Chappelle live in St. Paul Minnesota, it was a blast. The whole stadium was pact. Some of the funniest shit happened in there in a long while. Got out it was raining hard on the drive home.

Slept all day and most of the evening. It's now in the wee hours, and I'm free roaming my rats while I try to dismantle the chaos that built up while I was chundering/shitting out parts of my intestines for better part of this week. I'm at the stage of slight but constant nausea, and it gets worse when I'm hungry, and when I eat something my stomach still isn't comfortable with, which is most things still. This includes cups of tea. Very frustrating. Gastroenteritis is only supposed to hang around for three days, but I'm day six now.

The housemate has a friend from out of town staying in our spare room. I was able to get it clean before I got sick, and do the rat's cage, but nowhere else. Kind of pissed and embarrassed that the housemate didn't even vacuum the fucking carpet, let alone clean the bathroom or kitchen. I am by no means a house proud sort, but there are still some standards that have to be kept.

Also, drove to the supermarket earlier, and when I finished shopping, I came out to discover that some mong had broken a tail light and scratched up the side of the boot of my car, and then done a runner. Fucking marvellous.

Today I have finally got the broken part on my lawnmower fixed. I'll have to figure out my neighbor's preferred beverage so I can properly thank him for his assistance.

I also got caught up on some paperwork I was 4 months behind on at one point. Maybe this is a sign that I will get everything else caught up soon.

Today I had tea/coffee with an acquaintance at my favourite cafe.

I ran an errand.

I did the laundry.

I tacked and successfully defeated the dirty dish mountain. I cleaned out and tidied the epic disaster that was our pantry. (I'm not a particularly tidy person so I usually don't care what it looks like so long as I know roughly where everything is. However, the housemate has a habit of putting the empty boxes and wrappers of food back into the pantry/fridge/freezer, and on top of that, he'll leave things like dry pasta in open containers meaning to go back and use them, but never does. Since summer is upon us, and likewise cockroach season, all that shit had to go.)

After that I ended up cleaning the top of the fridge, decluttering the saucepan and appliance cupboard, rearranging the plastics and baking cupboards and setting aside a ton of shit to donate, as well as discarding a metric fuckton of orphan lids and containers.

I cleaned out both the cutlery drawer and the cooking implements drawers and also threw away a ton of shit that was manky, cheap, broken and duplicated.

I wrote next fortnight's budget, menu and extremely detailed shopping list, and updated my calendar.

I answered communications that needed to be answered, called and rescheduled a meeting with one of my wranglers on Monday that wasn't going work out.

I brought up our spare fan from out of storage because summer is happening with a vengeance this year.

I've had a shower, made my bed with fresh linen, and now I'm waiting for my hair to dry so I can sleep.

Today I have realized that procrastination can be both a funny joke and an enemy if you choose to not understand the power that it can have over you while ignoring it.

I made a 6'10" square tarp out of a much larger tarp. I measured out how much I had to cut off each edge, sewed in paracord on the leading edges and then sewed the last of the 2" hem down. I used a stapler to hold the paracord and hems in place while sewing.

Also installed grommets on the corners.

It's for the kids tent. This way he will have a properly sized footprint for his 7' square tent unlike the peasants in his Boy Scout troop that fold excess under the tent. I also snaked the tub drain, but nobody wants to see what came out of that.

Today I put together an early christmas gift I got from my parents... a new desk chair

It's a Staples brand Westcliffe chair in brown (they ran out of black). It's basically the cheapo version of the LA-Z-BOY Winston Big & Tall chair (which is $300 more). I picked it out at the store and am so fucking happy right now because I completely melt when I sit in it. Comfiest thing I've sat in regarding office chairs

I went through 2 """gamer""" chairs (GTRacing red) and they were fucking terrible. IDK why people fucking shill these things, but I'm never buying them again.
