So before D&D was my Thing, my Thing was very much Star Wars. Due to the lack of new movies, our cinemas are showing older ones (safely- we haven't had covid in the community for a few months now.) And next Friday is A New Hope!!! Ahhhhh!!! I'll be going with my brother and my closest friend, and I'm SO EXCITED to finally see this on the big screen!!
They're showing it for a week from next Thursday, and I'm hoping they'll do Empire the week after...and then Return of the Jedi...I might actually cry, seeing the Emotional Climax of Return of the Jedi on the big screen.

The past two evenings, I've walked over to the elementary school by my house and spent some times swinging. I kind of love(d) it. On a related note, apparently my fitness tracker counts swinging as steps.

It's tough to explain details about the context to this, but after a comically big e-drama fiasco involving two associated websites back in April (with me being moderator for both of them, before one of them closed), I managed to indirectly hear back from a person whom we hadn't heard from in six months.
I had been pitching a freelance web design project for his website that he's been excited about last time we had spoken, but if anything, I'm not even preoccupied with that so much as I'm beyond relieved that he's okay, given his mental health struggles (not to mention, the COVID pandemic had me paranoid about his safety as well).
Again, it sounds small without the context, but it's honestly one of the highlights of my year!

This morning, I got a message from my new job. Paraphrasing: "You said you were available tonight? Guess what? You start working today!"
So I started my new Census job today. I thought it wouldn't start until Tuesday, but here we are. I've already visited several houses, and done a couple interviews, and while I was nervous, it went well.
Aaahhh! I did it!

I'm getting REALLY good at driving.
maybe I'll be able to handle the stress of a job that I have to drive to everyday.

Got two job applications submitted in the last 24 hours \o/ Also, it's become a much higher possibility that I'll be able to move out of my parents' house by the end of this year >>

Did a bit of coastal path today. Started with fish and chips from a very famous and very good chippie, then walked 11.5 km. Would have gone further but the humidity was 83% and was killing me. Still got some nice chocolate from an awesome local cafe on the way.
Feels good.

I bought some vegan mince and cheese pies! I am!!!! So unreasonably excited, after having one the other day at my fave restaurant I was reminded how much I loved mince and cheese. I hope these ones are good...

Got groceries today, and.
Yessss, I finally got a new pair of dishwashing gloves!
(No, you don't understand, mind needed to be replaced months ago.)
I can finally do dishes semi-comfortably* again!
*(The only gloves available are a size too large. I'll have to take what I can get, though.)
Also! They finally allowed orders for isopropyl alcohol and I was finally able to get a bottle, so I should be comfortably good on that for a long while!

I moved into my dorm today and I'm real happy.
However, I was really nervous to meet my roommate, because I was worried she wouldn't like me.
Turns out she likes drawing, writing, D&D, crime shows, and is also a huge nerd. I found my people.
Edit: SHE DREW ANTHER FOR ME, I'm so happy.

Today's research day turned out to be so good that I didn't even want to procrastinate despite my heavy to-do list that would otherwise bog me down in indecision and Muchness.
Today's stuff is a lot of fun.

I still get anxious. I still have bad days. I still have times where I just feel horrible.
However, looking back on myself six months ago and comparing myself to then, I feel so happy about the progress I've made. I feel like I can function properly now. ^^
