#crossing things off my to-do list

[concert-bflat]

my goofy ass brain really waited 5 years to give me a death note phase i'm floored

#death note #light yagami #misa amane #l lawliet #dn #lawlight #my art #decided to binge the anime as background noise while i worked just so i could cross it off my list (read the manga years ago) #little did i know that was the equivalent of shooting myself in the foot #hell these doodles were just meant to serve as a short break from said thing i'm working on. it's been 2 hours. #holds head in my hands this wasn't supposed to happen this was Not the plan #also heyyy hiiiii first actual art post on this blog in like a million years #does this mean regular posting is back?lol. lmao n #anyways light is a silly bitch i will sock him in the face #me and my gifted kid red head fictional characters with poor morals and the gayest rivalries known to man </3 #what am i even doing with my life honestly

pretty sure the Walgreens site is haunted or something, auto-refill of my prescriptions keeps getting turned on (I hadn't been turning it on, because I was trying to see if I could time it so that I wouldn't be refilling things a week apart and having to do a zillion trips or something) and with the location set as neither my home Walgreens (near my parents' house) or the one that I've been using since August (since I'm away at grad school), but rather the place that I went to once last summer for a mid-field season refill. The site is insisting that that one (in Missouri, which is decidedly not where I am now) is the last one I refilled at, despite the fact that. Uh. No, I've definitely been using the local one, the fuck kind of drugs is this site on?

#now I have to wait for the MO order to cancel before I can re-place it at the local walgreens #massively annoying when I can't cross things off of my to-do list because of stuff outside of my control #like Walgreens deciding to go haywire

love the moment in c3e44 when chetney is like "why don't we kill ludinus right now and then we can come back in time to pick up ashton." and everyone just looks at him like :)) except laudna who goes "i'm always down to try~! i love your tenacity chetney, it's so admirable." "thanks. aim high!" "yess. :D"

Low-effort meme that definitely needed to exist or genuine colorized still from The Tomb of the Cybermen (1967)? You be the judge

#crosses off 'can identify a caterpillar' from jamie's list of skills #tomb of the cybermen #jamie mccrimmon #tbh i'd be a little shocked if this didnt already exist somewhere #but i havent seen it yet so here #do you think actors ever look at a prop and go #'ah ok so i have to reassess some things about my character's intelligence level' ?

#doing this for my own amusement more so than anything else #just thought it'd be fun to put it all down somewhere and periodically cross off whenever i finish another one #i want to see how far i get before the year is over #although going back to studies fall time is putting a serious hamper on things because now #time is spent reading cases or watching lectures or doing assessments instead... #technically the secret history was started last year but if i remember correctly i finished it this year #so thought I'd put it there for the sake of it #some of these are rereads too like gatsby or dorian gray #i'm debating whether or not to add 120 Days of Sodom by Maquis de Sade on here ... #a coworker suggested it to me but with the forewarning it's probably the most messed up piece of literature I'll ever come across #watch this list probably have more books added to it #no particular order to this list just the way books are stacked on the shelf so expect the currently reading to not go numerically #literature #reading #tbr list

NaClYoHo Day 18

Sometimes, when you go to fix a thing in the house, you wind up breaking it. So the shelf that was slanted is now slanted even more, and if you try to fix the anchor, you could rip a giant chunk out of the wall. Or if you try to move the stove, you risk breaking the already testy oven. Vintage homes are so scenic and /aesthetic/, right?

Not every day can be a winner, y'all.

#naclyoho #please please please let the shelf hold until we can remodel #when you hire union you only cry once #the number of things in this house that repairhumans have said are weird is up there #Weird is code for I don't want to offend you if you chose this design choice #Weird is also code for Expensive To Fix #gently crosses that item off my to do list to not anger the household deities

i’m thinkin abt getting a planner 📔

#sam.txt #it’s a joke to try n Actually plan anything while i live here #which is y i thought it was dumb of me to even fool myself into trying #but last night i took some time for me for like two hrs #jst doin stuff i had on my mind or wanted to get done so i could enjoy my night #and i ended up doing everything i wanted and then i got to relax after #but it was so satisfying guys like hello it rly feels good to ‘cross stuff’ off ur imaginary list #so today i’ve been like . what if i get a planner #i realized it doesn’t have to b big things i can jst do lil things for me — to help sort my time out #i’ve always been had terrible time management & maybe this can help ! #idk if i want a physical planner or to try an app tho 🤔 #sometimes w apps i have a tendency to flake… but w physical copies i jst never use em sighs #neway wow a tag rant abt possibly getting a planner 🫣🥴

whatever career I end up in, I need it to be one where I don't have to be creative. I am way too dumb to be making fun and educational posters, let me just write an essay and pin that to the board instead

#//juri speaks #laying on the floor; suffering; dying; etc #very firmly crossing ''outreach and student engagement'' off my list of library domains i might like to work in #also trying not to worry about the far off probably-wont-happen-anyway plans for more degrees falling apart #bc i fear i wont be creative enough to gen up some original research idea #all im good at is following procedures to the fucking letter #and thats not the kind of person anyone wants to hire unless they're the military 😭 #everyone just wants creative self starting go-getters and i have too many fuckin mental eels for that shit #anyway this has been your ''it's rainy and im sad'' mental breakdown of the day #now back to your regularly scheduled other posts made by people capable of doing things

i know the real problem with porn is the ethical issues around production and not the impact on your sex life but can we just take a second to acknowledge the impact on your sex life? have you ever had sex with a regular porn user?

imagine you have sex with a woman for the first time and she's trying to reenact pronhub's latest girl on girl feature instead of just, like... tribbing

#my next partner better be ready to cross a lot of thing off of my to do list lol

[sheocheese]

Good to see that I can still draw dencently if I just sit down and do it.

#sheo talks #No WIPs so I don't fall into the “I showed it online so I can cross it off my to do list” trap #but also #still not sure if I'll put it online at all #Trying to get back to the whole “drawing for myself not for social media” thing again you know

[flintbian]

Well, one year to go

#well at least im trying for that #ive scheduled round two for alaska and hopefully i see the lights this time #and my second favorite band announced yesterday they're coming here with guess who? another of my favorite bands #(blackbriar and battle beast may 2024) #i literally said the other day id be happy if i got to see them and now they're coming! can you believe it #but im tired...my health has plummeted and i am not doing well #im not going to last #ive just got to hold out for these last bucket list items #so im trying for the auora again in september around the equinox #ugh it's so bad im hooked up to shit all day now and constantly have to monitor tachycardia for instance #im exhausted. i can barely breathe. it hurts so much. i never stop shaking and spasming now #but hey ive started playing dnd...finally found a group. so that's crossed off my list too and it's been very fun so far #i need to get the motivation to read all the books i want to read #it aint in my control though...i just have to hope i can hold out until september #ive been trying lots of new foods but there's still so much more i want to try #but yeah im tired...every day i wake up from pain and feel like im going to die...if i sleep at all #even clare has given up it's progressed too much #but im trying. im trying #and ive been gathering all our family photos and things so theyll have memories #me and my dad take a selfie every time he visits too #idk. there's not a whole lot i can say without making people sad but it's been so much lately #i struggle to scrape through the pain every day. it's been 14 years. i just want to be free #it's not like i want to die...i just want to be free of the pain and rest finally #wish me luck #p

So apparently Friday is a holiday and I didn’t realize so now I’m a little stressed out with how much I haven’t gotten done yet but I’m trying to remember that the pay I’m getting isn’t worth triggering my anxiety

I signed the contract today and I plan to do the work in the tempo I’m getting paid for :)

#misha rants #this just means I’m not gonna run around and panic over what I can and cannot do before lunch every day #I have a list. I cross things off. and I do my best to be nice #that’s all they’re getting out of me

[oathkeeperoxas]

I know I said I would comment on all the fics that are open in my tabs as my first fandom task of 2023 but oh god. oh my god. there are so many. there is so much fic. why did I let this all pile up over the last 6 months

#me avoiding looking at the one tab that is just the codywan au fest collection like haha only 15 more to go :) #and this. this isn't even counting the many many many many fics in my email inbox from updates #this isn't counting the links that I've put in my to comment on later list #SO MUCH CONTENT!!!!! #I'm almost finished all of the horizon big bang fics only 3 more to go there #pls ignore that 3 of them are 50k each #but i have finished all the codywan winter exchange works whew so i can finally cross that off as completely done #anyway. try to do a hzdbb today and one more codywan today #personal #the thing is i comment on the good fics immediately so its just. just the ones i want to leave giant comments on that are left. #pls send positive thoughts LOL

So I started my ADHD meds today, and even though they're ultimately a bust (shot my blood pressure through the roof) I'd like to formally bite every single fucking person who has ever told me I'm lazy. I can't believe it's been this easy the whole time. Holy shit. You're telling me the hardest part of tasks isn't supposed to be starting them??? That doing things shouldn't feel like beating your head against a brick wall??? I've been playing life on fucking nightmare difficulty while neurotypical people are playing on easy and telling me I suck??? So yeah. Biting, gnashing teeth, wailing, etc.

#I've crossed 5 things off my to-do list that have been there for over a year in 2 (two) hours of being on ADHD meds
