Keeping busy

allekhaBeen a busy week for Z and me. First, my old computer chair broke down - technically, I could sit it in, but it required a delicate balancing act and would drop me to the floor five times a day - so we went and got a new one. The nicer-looking one with actual colors was only $20 more than the greige version, and I happily went with that.
Then Z had his surgery on Halloween to help open up some airflow in his nose. We were joking that it was spooky enough for us every time we had to swap out his bandages until the bleeding stopped. Nobody else had the dedication to get real surgery for his costume, he joked. He's doing pretty well, except for a lot of post-surgery congestion that we're told is normal. Once he was asleep after that, I booted up some random indie horror games to play. I'm not sure if our new neighborhood does trick-or-treating; there's no sidewalks :( and it's not that quiet in terms of cars, so people might take their kiddos elsewhere.
This week, I had a couple of doctor's visits of my own. Vision is good! PCP asked me to get bloodwork which came back as indicating my thyroid is under-active. Still waiting for the doctor to call me back to confirm, but it would explain a couple of things, and when I texted my parents about it, both of them said they had a parent with thyroid issues, so. Thanks, genetics?
I have turned in the final final FINAL version of my project proposal, which was a bit stressful for various technical and contradictory advice reasons, but it's in! So now I can not think about it for a few months. That's meant a bit more time for keeping up with the GP series, haha.
And speaking of figure skating, I'm taking off most of this week, and my mom's coming up for a road trip to watch some real life figure skating with Z and me. Z's parents also came over today to say hi. We made them pad thai, and his dad made us a vegetarian version of a Ilocano dish that is basically fried vegetables, usually made with patis (fermented fish sauce).
Tonight I made myself do some more cleanup from the move; we still need more shelves, but my office at least looks more organized now. Step by step.
