Excess energy goes brrrrrrrrr
Super ready for my weekend, though to be honest the work week went very quickly.
Yesterday was really weird, in ways that mostly aren't terribly interesting to talk about, and today was fortunately less so. My manager's frustration at other people rubs off on me, so I spent a lot of the day annoyed by other people throwing up roadblocks, lol.
After work I stopped over at my mom's house to give her a couple late Mother's Day gifts: a thing of currant jelly that I forgot I'd gotten for her (because it's a really hard flavor to find! One of our favorite Christmas recipes calls for it, and for the last couple years we've had to substitute other flavors.) And I bought her Angel of the Overpass, which came out yesterday, so I obviously didn't have it on Sunday.
As I was hoping, she didn't even know that it was forthcoming, much less out, but she loves the Ghost Roads books, so I was glad I got to surprise her with it!
When we got home, I had a super great burst of productive energy, and wanted to immediately turn it toward getting BCB's habitat cleaned... but then Alex wanted to go take a shower first. He promised it would be quick, but it took almost an hour for him to actually get in the shower (which I sympathize with, because I *also* easily get distracted on my phone for extended periods of time.) But I'm sitting here practically vibrating with the need to DO THE THING, and not wanting to do something else and risk losing motivation for that. ADHD x ADHD relationships amirite.
He just got out of the shower, and now I think he's going to make dinner, but I'm going to go clean Broccoli Cheddar Bomb's habitat, and then maybe try to keep being productive on something.
(I think I overpromised myself a bit on my "goals for the week". I have way more than usual, and just about none of them done, so I'm going to try my best to knock a few things out.)
