A week in the life, pt 6
Work work work work work and some Overwatch.
maandag
ork is so busy now.
Why do I have so much to do.
I mean, it's good for me, I hate being bored.
But I need a vacation. Not having a solid break between moving and getting back into things was not a great idea. Feel like I haven't had much down time at all. 🥲
dinsdag
Realized I didn't have a confirmation email for our registration with the Enschede gemeente tomorrow, so I had to make a phone call. Ew. Good news is that I don't need the appointment confirmation just my birth date!
My days lately have just really been work and Overwatch. Definitely noticing that I'm checking out a bit because of being overwhelmed. At least I know it's not really medication related because I was like this when really stressed when I was taking my full medications.
I have been slacking on my ADHD medication though, could be that. I don't eat well enough in the morning to take the meds early. I need to find a better solution...
woensdag
Woke up with a headache on the one day I can't afford to have a headache. 😩 Registering with the gemeente today which means going outside. Took a couple ibuprofen pills.
Sleep is getting awful again, and I dunno if it's hormonal or stress related. Taking forever to fall asleep lately. I miss my Seroquel. 😞
They spelt my name wrong for the appointment. 😂 I have letters that the Dutch aren't used to in my last name and they spelt it Kuarri. 🤣 And they misspelt my email which explains why I didn't get the email confirmation. But Chris and Rhys are now registered in the BRP! 🎉
Overwatch games are getting frustrating. I wish people banned the two most annoying dps to deal with more often. It's also becoming so very obvious to me when people don't understand the tools from their support teammates. Stop running out of the area of effect for my tree that heals you and then complain about heals. 😭
donderdag
Sometimes I'm like "fuck man I have too much work to do why do I do this to myself".
And then other times I'm like "I love this rush of coordinating everything in a tight deadline".
Thriving on chaos is real. 😂
I've been pulling things together for Community Day 2026 - one of the biggest projects I end up doing every year now. But I'm also heading to Berlin for IFA on 2 Sept and planning a lot of final touches for that.
There's still so much to finish doing in the house, though. By the time I'm off work I don't want to do any of it. It's fairly overwhelming.
Cannot wait to get health insurance so I can look at going into therapy again. Where is my fucking BSN???
vrijdag
They. Disabled. Lifeweaver. This isn't that big of a problem considering I still have plenty of time on Mercy and Moira, but they removed him (allegedly) because of a bug you can do with Jetpack Cat, and only that stupid cat. Blizzard actually hasn't said anything about the removal, so it's all just speculation.
I spent all day avoiding doing anything I needed to do. Which is fine. I have a lot of shit I'm doing at work and pretending that home stuff isn't real is a good way to balance my mental health. 🤣
zaterdag en zondag
Converging Saturday and Sunday into one block because my weekends all kinda look the same right now.
Spent most of the weekend not wanting to do anything that's important, but did end up getting some bedding and towels hand washed.
That fucking sucks, y'all. Time to get a clothing wringer. My hands aren't built for this. 😩
Kept playing Overwatch on Mercy and Moira - neither of whom make the game fun to play, tbh. Lifeweaver is so much fun to play, even when losing. Sometimes it feels like the match is so out of my control when I'm Mercy, and I don't necessarily like the brawly way Moira needs to be played.
Regardless, I push forward with the torture that is competitive Overwatch.
