Brain Dump

 I should make dinner, probably, but I'd rather blog instead. Especially since I'm on my computer (instead of my phone, which was my earlier post). 

It's been weird today - I've been really tired all week. And today I have a bit of a headache and my throat is suspiciously tickle-y (my husband got sick yesterday, waaah), but I'm doing okay? I went shopping this morning. I kind of want to make bread, but I guess I should do dinner. I don't feel especially exhausted which is nice, but also my emotions are a little erratic. My therapist once briefly mentioned bipolar and now I'm all like AM I? MY EMOTIONS ARE VOLATILE.... but probably it's just depression being a jerk. (After this post I should go take some headache medication, I meant to earlier but forgot, naturally.)

Oh last night! I took my kiddo to girl scouts and after they were done I popped over to the school district building for the board meeting. I've been meaning to go for at least six months now (I'm not sure if they had them over the summer? but I didn't want to go then, just some time earlier this year). I even made it to the parkinglot a few times during girl scouts, but I was never brave enough to actually go in. Last night I did! I couldn't stay for very long since that particular girl scout meeting was short. But I'm glad I went, it's very chill and I understand the procedure a little better now. I'm hoping I won't have to comment during the meetings and I'm not entirely certain it's worth attending, but I should probably at least look over the agenda and know what's going on. I'm thinking at one point or other I may need to advocate for my baby and other deaf children, since there aren't that many but they still need accommodations and services and deserve community closer than Tacoma. 

A nice thing I'm learning is that accommodations actually make life easier for regular people, too. Generally speaking, at least. Someone online pointed out that kitchen tools (those single use ones we sometimes like to make fun of?) are actually good accessibility tools. And as a chronically depressed, low-energy person, I can appreciate some accommodations myself. I don't NEED them the way others might, but they still can help a lot! 

Maybe I won't make dinner tonight. We can have more of last night's dinner, or... something. I should have bought a frozen meal when I was shopping this morning. Actually, I COULD make dinner, I might even be a little excited for it, I just have a headache and I'm getting comfy and I just realized I don't have any clean cookie sheets for cooking my skewers. Nooooooooo.
