"Okey dokey!"

Man, this is going well.

I like some things. I dislike other things. There's also things I am indifferent about.
I somehow spent the day working on grading this test and have managed 20% so far today... which brings me to a total of 68% done.
I was told "See! You have done so much already!".
But: The deadline is the day after tomorrow. Well, technically tomorrow, but I'm generous, so let's say it's the day after.
And tomorrow is my first day back at school with conferences in the afternoon.
I will have less spoons to do this tomorrow compared to today.
Any yeah, my thoughts are drifting towars hurting myself... maybe seriously enough that I should call an ambulance and spend the night in the hospital. No one can expect me to grade this shit while I'm in the emergency room, right?
*forces her brain back to work* 😔
Well, I give up for now and finally remove my christmas decorations...
I got up around 9:15.
It's 12:25 now.
How much work have I gotten done?
Well, I cleaned my toilet. Gave my mom her birthday present (bluetooth speaker). Gave her tech support for her birthday present (her phone couldn't connect to the bluetooth speaker).
Watched a video about the new giant bluebrixx-locomotive-set.
Watched a video about the original swiss crocodile locomotive.
So, it's goind great so far!
It will be 11 weeks since the operation tomorrow. Today I did actually quite a lot of stuff: I got Yuko to doggy daycare, went to 4 stores (mostly to check them out; I did find a place where I can probably do my weekly grocery run in the future, yay!) and got SD cards for my phone and switch, also some snacks for Yuko and some for me, bird feeding stuff for the birds outside...
Then I drove home again, had food, and talked a bit to a good friend. Then I graded tests for a while until I went and got Yuko from daycare, but instead of driving home I drove 50 minutes to another town to buy a Bluetooth speaker for my mom's birthday and a nice lamp for my step dad and drove back home...
Now I have spent about 3 hours lying on the sofa... And in pain.
Pain levels are at 5-6, with occasional 7-8 bursts.
How the hell am I supposed to function?!
And no, I don't think it's connected to the UTI... The way it hurts is quite familiar from the last couple of weeks...
Anyway,taking some pain medication and heading to bed... Hopefully tomorrow will be better, as I actually have a bit of work to do...

Me to my best friend when she reprimanded me for not taking care of myself by not doing anything about the UTI today: "I'm doing my best. 😢"
And how was your start of the week? 
So, I have looked at today and decided that we should all go back to bed and sleep. Let's try Sunday again tomorrow!
I am waiting for a delivery of wooden pellets. One metric tonne.
The delivery window I was told is 9am to 2pm.
Now the tracking says I am the next stop... And expected time of arrival is between 2:15pm and 4:15pm.
And the truck was shown as standing inside a lake.
I have a great feeling about today! 
That moment when you ordered a pin in the colours of the pan pride flag, and then realize that you are actually omni and just mixed those two up... AGAIN... 
Ok, this pain scale thing really bothers me...
In the hospital they asked multiple times per day what my pain level is on a scale of 1-10 (should be 0-10, not no one else seemed to be bothered by it...).
During my whole stay I never gave a number higher than 5. Most times in the 1-3 range. (Closer to the end I became rebellious and said "0.5")
And now I found pain scales with descriptions.
3 is: "uncomfortable: it bothers me but I can ignore it most of the time".
5: "distracting: I think about it most of the time. I cannot do some of the activities I need to do"
Uhm... When I said 5 I was writhing in pain... According to this list somewhere around 7 "unmanageable" and 8 "intense".
So... Maybe we should take a step back from "rate your pain on this linear scale where 10 is supposed to be the worst pain you can imagine"... And go to "describe how aware you are of your pain and how it affects your ability to think and act".
Right now I would say I am at "I am constantly aware of it but I can continue most activities". (Equals a 4)
