Blinking awake

Perhaps I should apologise for the recent silence. Just came off eight days of reading tvtropes. Seems to happen about once a year.

Anyway, still alive, still managing this self-care thing. Am finding this somewhat encouraging - if I had my own little place I feel a bit more confident I would be able to survive and look after myself, fed and clean and such, assuming I had the financial resources to cover the cost of living. Don't know how well I'd do with work added. Still room to hope I would manage that too.

It is very amusing seeing how excited Monroe gets when I feed her each night, running in circles and jumping up and down as I bring the bowl to her.

Last week I actually had a job interview in response to an application I put out, for the first time in the 11 months I have been applying. Still waiting to find out if I will get a second interview, should find out in a few days.

I still feel very behind on everything and worry I will never catch up. Feels like it should be possible to do so, yet I keep not managing it.
