the fourth was great, Kyu got to do the cookout that fell apart last year, he really likes cooking for people but doesn't get many chances really. the day after was the quilt class, at which i did kinda ingest some kind of nut, but thanks to a drink to flush it out and plenty of sleep last night i feel mostly fine today. i'm a little achey, but nowhere near incapacitated by violent sickness which is my standard reaction to most nuts. the worst thing yesterday in the think of it was cottonmouth and all-over itchiness, so i'm gonna guess it was walnut, which is my mildest nut allergy.

anyhow, today being Sunday, we're about to head up to Wild West for game day. i've packed the stuff to (hopefully) get a pokemon plush finished for an employee that's leaving later this month.her last day is the 25th, but since i'm working on clearing out incomplete projects anyway it really makes sense to push this one to the head of the queue.

i did get all the single issue comics i spent days organizing listed for sale, and i gathered another box that'll head to Half-Price Books in the next week or so. it feels good actually making so much visible progress through the goals i've set for myself, mostly because so many of my recent goals have been intangible things. mostly related to mental/emotional recovery. talking to strangers, maintaining eye contact, getting out of bed and going to sleep on a regular schedule. those aren't things i can slap a gold star on for other people to see and congratulate my progress, you know? xD
