Hi, everyone! I feel like I always start these off by expressing my amazement at how fast the previous month went by and this time is no different. May went by ridiculously fast. Like, it feels like it should still be the beginning. On Friday I saw that a package I ordered is supposed to be delivered on June 5th and I verbally complained about it for like 10 seconds before I realized that June 5th is actually less than a week away.
May was really busy for me. Between therapy, crocheting, and just other life stuff, I was super busy.
I did cut down on "official" therapy time, so now I try to do more real life exposures that I can do in my everyday life, instead of spending a ridiculous amount of time on imaginal exposures. That's made my days slightly less busy. I've been able to drive all the way to where my first appointment is twice already, so I'm literally miles ahead of where I was a few months ago and that's definitely something to celebrate.
I hit a bit of a snag in my etsy store plan when I realized that I need a business license, a seller's permit, and to file a "doing business as" statement. None of which I can get before I have an ID, and I won't have one of those until after my DMV appointment on July 11th. So for right now, the new tentative time for opening the store is somewhere in August. But that's okay. I'm using this extra time to do some market research (this is a link to a form that you can fill out if you'd like) and to build up more of a stock.
I finished revising the last trigger warning list for the school on the 24th. I'm really happy with the work that I did. The 12 books ended up taking me just under 140 hours to complete (with one rereading so that I could check for things I missed). I am going to eventually start creating lists for other books, but as of right now I don't have anything scheduled.
I took a pretty easy and short class (I didn't pay so that I could turn in assignments so it was mostly just reading and watch class materials) on becoming an entrepreneur. Not all of it applied to my situation, but I think I still learned some stuff. Now I'm going to move on to using khan academy to reteach myself chemistry and geometry (I sucked at chemistry and I only took half of geometry way back in 8th grade, so despite understanding calculus I'm very bad at trig) before I hopefully start college this fall.
Another sort of important life update that you probably won't see much about but that is a big deal for me: my dog Sugar blew out her ACL recently and we're probably going to have to do surgery. Which is sad. And expensive. She's 11 already and we don't know how much longer she's going to live, but in my opinion, I think we should make sure she's as comfortable as she can be for however much time she has left. So having her actually be able to walk would be beneficial.
I think that's about it for life updates. I'm going to continue to work on therapy, crocheting, and learning. And at some point, I'll figure out what kind of actual content I want to put here on my patreon. If anyone has any suggestions, I would definitely be open to them.
Love always,
Sam
