Today was really good, all things considered!
I didn't know if they would be; it started out bad because I felt bad, but I didn't expect the upward trend the day took!
Basically: -Finally got back to therapy. Obviously one session isn't a cure-all, but it really helped enough for me to actually do stuff and get a little out of my depression rut. -The stressful thing I had to do today wasn't... a disaster. (I'm happy enough for that. xD ) -Thanks to therapy words earlier, I identified a source of a problem and managed to create a better way to settle it, enough to get me more motivated. -I managed to be productive today! -I'm finally on the right track for solving this programming issue it's so close omg omg (I still need to troubleshoot things but it's really down to nailing down if statements to be ultra-specific, but hey, if I work it out, it'll be Done!) -Dinner was good! -I actually ate it elsewhere. When the credit card system was refusing to work, and I was about to move to let the person behind me pay for their food while the issue was sorted out, they paid for me.
The rest of the day can still go however, but hey! \ o /

Probably if I'd had the mental energy to post yesterday, this just would have been a whole slew of rants, but today! Today they've all turned out okay, and I feel so good! =D My car has had its maintenance, our A/C is fixed, the first part of this form has finally reached the person it needs to get to, and my computer is running so much better thanks to the tech person (who even recognized my Gravity Falls desktop background)!
(Although, an...odd thing about the car-- In addition to the maintenance, we also asked our mechanic to look into fixing the light in the glove compartment, because it's always shining through the crack, even when the compartment is closed, and we were concerned it might drain the battery. The mechanic's response today? He wasn't able to fix the light...because there IS no light TO fix in the glove box. o.o Aliens! They're in my car, I tell you!! Investigation pending. xD)

Do you have any idea where the source of that light could be coming from then? =0 Like, is the whole compartment lit up, or is there one spot inside where the light seems to come from? (I don't know why this is intriguing me so much of all things x3)

(I don't know why this is intriguing me so much of all things x3) Okay, after we did an investigation tonight, we discovered that no, there IS indeed a lightbulb in the glove box, though it's cramped in a small upper space and behind a dark-colored bulb guard that might otherwise be mistaken for ventilation or something if the light is off. We also realized that we were wrong to tell the mechanic that it always shines through the glove box crack, because we discovered it only turns on when the headlights are on, similar to the dashboard clock lights. (Although it still shines when the compartment is closed in those circumstances.) So I guess that answers most of our questions and explains why the mechanic didn't see any light. And it also hopefully confirms that we haven't collectively gone insane and haven't accidentally stumbled into an alternate dimension, or at least not that we can easily discern. >O (...It feels good to be wearing my Tracy avatar again. *brick'd*)

Today has been a good day for trying new foods! While grocery shopping, I picked up some broccoli, strawberry preserve (as opposed to jelly), and some assorted nuts, all things that I've either had just a tiny bit before or not at all. By now I've gotten a taste for each of them, and I'd say so far so good! The broccoli I'm a little mixed on, but the preserve and nuts seem solid.
I've been wanting to expand my food options more, but a lot of recipes online are just not feasible while living in a dorm. Adding more variety with simpler foods is way easier (and also I think expands the building blocks of my tastes so that I can be more open to recipes I might've dismissed before), so I'm glad to have added new items to my list! :3

Me from the Mini-Rants thread last month:
I couldn't be happier to have been proved wrong.

Usually Monday and Tuesday (and at times Wednesday) are my "Everything's happening at once, no time at all!!" days, but surprisingly today has been much more relaxed? I dunno if I truly had less to do, or if my mood mostly contributed to it, but hey I'm not arguing with a less-stressful Tuesday! Even better since it's my hump day, so looks like this week in general is set to go rather smoothly.

Yesterday I got sensory overload from the bright sunshine that was out all day. Woke up today, still with a headache from that, saw the blue skies above and groaned. I thought it would be another day where, unless I turned into a vampire, I would be in for a world of hurt. The weather forecast certainly said it would probably be sunny.
Well, nope. Clouds rushed in, now currently not a trace of blue sky in sight. I realise this is a weird thing to be happy about, but as someone who finds blue skies painful at the best of times, this is a prayer answered.

Those times when class participation really pays off, like when you get extra credit on an upcoming test for being one of the most active contributors to class discussions! \o/

The little local library is getting plenty of new books adapted for dyslexic readers as well as easy-to-read books and they're all so good and have neat ideas in the kids' stories and neurodivergent protagonists and there's going to be a brand new more accessible section \o/
