this week has been amazing highs and miserable lows and absolutely no middle ground at all.

Tuesday after knit night i hit the Princess Bride quote along with mom. it was awesome and we had a great time, but it was the next day before we made it back to her place to crash. the nest day i worked on mostly painting projects (some doorknob removal) and generally got a lot done. high.

when i got home i discovered we were in the beginning stages of a truly disgusting bug problem that had wandered over from another unit. the rest of this week has been intense cleaning binges and lugging things out to the trash and terrible sleep cycles. Friday night i did laundry at mom's while kyu did it here. low.

today was the Dice Masters D&D Rainbow Draft. i'd only played a few DM games at all before, and i wanted more experience playing, but don't want to collect any non-DC dice. i was talking about that to Wes and he said that as the guy running the tourney, he was ineligible to play. he offered to pay my entry so i could practice playing, and he'd keep whatever i drafted. i managed to get three cards he was lacking in his collection, and i also WON my bracket of the tourney. there were two groups of six entrants. so two grand prize winners, two second place prizes, and four participation prizes. i now own a few promo D&D cards i'll honestly never play, but can later trade for rarer things i'm missing from my collection. plus i talked to strangers and worked on coping with my anxiety. very high.

kyu and i both consider Knit Night and DM Sundays my version of therapy. three years ago i couldn't handle leaving the apartment and talking to strangers, and now i do it on a regular basis. i've applied for jobs again now that i think i could work without walking headfirst into another breakdown. high.

so really just the one series of lows, but it's been so expansive and draining it feels like it balances all those awesome highs on its own.
