not all days are wins and in the interest of keeping this blog honest i'm going to talk about it with you all. this was certainly a rough one on so many levels. felt like i accomplished nothing beyond spinning my wheels on this day off. even relaxing would have likely been more productive as i have many long, long shifts coming up. although i feel the disappointment i have in myself for today was the result of underestimating the nature of my goals.

the tasks i put out for myself took forever to get started due to a lack of focus. which then funneled into i-can't-eat-until-i-complete-THE-task level of hyperfocus which wasn't helpful given how much i was struggling.

THE task in this case was deciding that today i was going to catch up on my last three tax returns ( which cannot be done electronically ) so i can finally be done with it.

only managed to force myself through one year. which... really held a light up to how behind i am in life because i let an abusive prick hold me down for so long. he had me terrified of doing normal, adult things. for no reason ( other than his own self interest ). it's hard to be slapped with that, especially since i'm struggling to accept how much time slipped through my fingers in that farce of a relationship. wasted even more time today just sitting there being angry i was even in this situation. looking at papers countless others have no dramatic issues with until my eyes crossed and i wanted to sob.

but -- i keep going. with one year done ( and will be checked over tomorrow ) the other two should be quick and relatively painless. i'll be a step closer to new goals. today wasn't a win but it wasn't a waste either and that's better than where i have been.

sometimes that's all you can ask for. and that's okay. not all days have to be wins. ( and on the bright side my tardiness with my tax situation has not harmed me in any way. i don't owe a dime and should be looking forward to a nice chunk of change that i can use to pay for courses i can't take a student loan for. i'm just paying for it in temporary stress. it will pass and i will thrive. )

so now i finally eat given that i can focus literally anything other than THE task. thank fuck.
