My mind feels akin to an internet browser with 17 tabs open, three of which are frozen, and I have no idea where the music is coming from. There’s so much on my agenda this morning. I’m currently awaiting my medication management appointment at 11 a.m. After that, I need to call my mom to let her know that the girls and I will be visiting at the end of May. I can’t quite express how anxious I am about making that call, but it’s necessary.
Additionally, I need to assist Karissa with a few tasks in preparation for her upcoming start at university. It shouldn’t be too difficult. I want her to log in from her computer since she’ll be using it for her studies. Last time, we logged in from my computer, which won’t be helpful for her in the long run. I also had to ask Lexi for help with the login process last time.
I’m glad I checked my laptop earlier this morning because it was completely out of battery. It has been charging for an hour now, but my hub is quite slow; the laptop is only at 7% after that time. Hopefully, it will have enough power for my medication management appointment. I’m feeling a bit anxious about the appointment. It’s not a bad appointment, but the psychiatrist is new, which makes things a little awkward. Additionally, she works from home, and I can hear every sound coming from behind the door of the room she’s in. If anyone is being loud, it’s crystal clear to me, which is quite amusing for someone who is deaf. I do my best to ignore the sounds, even though it creates a bit of an uncomfortable atmosphere.
The appointment turned out to be quite pleasant. It felt comfortable, and the psychiatrist seemed more at ease in her role this time. Now, I need to call my mom. I took my anxiety medication since my nerves have been on edge. I’m feeling so anxious right now that I’m finding myself procrastinating. I grabbed a drink, walked around the house, greeted Karissa, and said hello to the animals. I think I’m finally ready to make the call.
The call itself wasn’t too bad. I informed her about our travel plans and mentioned the cost of the plane tickets since she generously offered to cover them. It was quite loud at my mom’s house like the TV was on in the background. She also invited us to stay at her place, which makes things easier. I feel cautious but overall pleased with her kindness. A funny moment occurred when I called; she immediately asked who Thomas was, as his name appeared on her caller ID. Tommy mentioned that we will fix that.
I assisted Karissa with her university-related tasks. She has a Zoom meeting scheduled for her registration later this month. Interestingly, she decided to change her major to Communications with a focus on Public Relations to accommodate her preference for online classes. It sounds like an exciting major, and I believe she will excel in it. Although she feels a bit uncertain about taking journalism, I have confidence that she will manage just fine.
I have also scheduled Karissa’s cardiology appointment for July. This time, I felt more confident about making the appointment since I was speaking with another person when I arranged it.
I need to immerse myself back into coding, but first, I should take a moment to eat something since I haven’t had a meal yet. Alright, I’ve got my food—spaghetti from last night. I’m uncertain about what’s on the dinner menu for tonight. I also brewed some hot tea for myself.
Kel has just returned home; she stopped by the post office. I received my shoes! They are lovely and incredibly comfortable. They may appear small, but they fit perfectly. I plan to code for a little longer and perhaps squeeze in some reading as well. I still haven’t finished “The Paris Apartment,” and I’ve been slacking on my reading.
