late to bed, early to rise

i finished recording and editing around 1.15am, went to bed satisfied, slept decently and dreamed crazy dreams.

we all woke up early, i posted the new episode, paid some bills and then scrambled to get to the doctor on time, slowed down by ten minutes of frustration because i couldn't get signal for uber unless i stood in the rain.

after days of successfully keeping weight off my knee, i slipped at the entrance to the doctor's office and jammed all my weight down on it. i then learned that if it wasn't so clear that i'm not a heart attack risk (i'm vegan), what i suffered on sunday night would've sent me to the ICU. it was an angiospasm, triggered by anti-inflammatories and my hiatus hernia.

a positive morning at work, an easy lunch, a tough all-hands because until i shocked myself by visibly nodding off i just couldn't keep my eyes open. afterwards they served "snacks", just large quantities of three types of meat, and it made me so uncomfortable i just had to get out of there... i enjoyed a simple but exciting success, and then caught my teammate for a quick chat because she'd said something worrying last week.

a half hour or hour later i returned to my desk with a much better sense of my responsibilities in the team and with a really uncomfortable duty of taking measures to protect myself and my team from a really problematic situation.

my mom picked me up, we stopped at the pharmacy, sat over tea, and then she stopped over at our place for a bit. mr smear's bedtime was sweet (i need to properly translate goldilocks, on-the-fly was far from smooth), and after a brief interlude watching videos about venezuela we watched most of the second new episode of game of thrones.
