An amuse-bouche if anything

This week has been all about just...being, and doing the next right thing. Aren't they all, though? Probably.

I got TB test which, according to my PA should be a blood test because "nobody does the skin test anymore!" The hell they don't, but: okay. Four vials of blood later I whipped the little gauze guy (you know that guy!) out before the phlebotomist could put the band-aid on. 45 minutes later and wow should I have ever left that gauze in there because I. Am. A. Bleeder! And I also don't have either wet wipes or a first-aid kit in the car even though I could have sworn I did. Put it on the list! In the meantime? Bleed.

Amongst all the (actually!) productive and fun stuff I've been doing this week I'm also waiting on the green light to call or be called by a potential mentor at an inpatient psychiatric hospital. Otherwise it's all been playing Spiritfarer. "A cozy management game about dying"! Actually so cozy. Actually so management. Actually only one death so far. Also, it's set in the afterlife, so technically...are the spirits dying...more?

Today:

• It's ride your bike to school day - which we can't do for logistical reasons. So instead I packed the bike in the back of the ol' Jeep Patriot and called it good. Except! I forgot my wallet. 
• Back home to get the wallet while logging onto something called Fourwave to look at all the Capstone projects there be for this year's crop of graduating OTs. It was nice to see everybody's trajectories, but there were only 2-3 projects that were even tangentially-related to what I want to do. So. Um. I don't know what to make of that? Is this going to be another undergrad-type-deal in which the thing I'm doing is too out there and my mentors are going to be like, "I don't know, girl." We'll see. I think part of it for me is that I know damn well that once I get an OT job I will be Doing That and won't have time or mental energy for shenanigans. So let's shenanigans it up for capstone, baybee!
• While watching the above and hopping in every once in a while to say, "Good job!" and "Say more about NICU protocols for neonates born addicted to opioids..." I just did chores. Sidenote: that one hack where you play Stardew Valley music while doing chores is very on-point. Good job whoever came up with that. Try it today!
  
• Then: the Costco (they had chocolate-covered gummy bears today!) while listening to "Go Touch Grass"
• Tha' gym while watching Etoile (I'll watch Charlotte Gainsbourg in anything except Antichrist). And it's about 50% in French with a dry blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of humor and Real Ballet Excerpts. It's just - I can't gush enough, really. I ran into a real-live ballerina at the gym too (N; she used to be artistic director for the dance theatre in town) which I appreciated. Way to be thematically cohesive, life!
• Then the bloodletting as outline above and now I'm sitting in the parking lot waiting to collect L.

We're supposed to go the museum this afternoon which should be lovely as long as nobody has a meltdown. 50/50 chance it's me.

Maybe something more substantial tomorrow?
