A bit of a reset

mousmeToday was a quiet day in which I didn't get much done, but I don't have too many regrets.
For one, I slept in until about 10:30, which was glorious. KK changed her mind about going to work and called in sick, so my plans for trying to do a bit of tidying in the living room got postponed for the next time she's not at home, which will be Friday unless she calls in sick again.
A chunk of my afternoon got eaten up by my appointment with the bariatric clinic. It was online, at least, so I didn't have to negotiate traffic or parking or anything like that, but it was still two hours long, which felt excessive. This was the first of two (or possibly three, I can't recall) mandatory information sessions over Zoom. Of course, I went over all of the information with the nurse practitioner at my last appointment, was given a book to read with it all as well, and also had to watch information videos about it too. So needless to say, today's session wasn't the most riveting in terms of subject matter. I do understand that they're trying to make the information as accessible as possible in as many formats as possible, so I don't blame them or anything, but I won't lie, I was pretty bored by the end.
At 5pm I had a phone conversation with the professional organizer I reached out to on Sunday, and she offered to come do an in-person consultation on Friday. I am cautiously optimistic about her. I laid out the issues we're having with clutter and hoarding and my inability to keep the house clean because of said problems, and I laid it on pretty thick about having pets and that contributing to the overall problem. She seems undaunted so far, so we'll see what she has to say when she arrives on Friday. For now I am choosing to be optimistic about the whole thing.
I am still quite tired, so I think I shall leave it there for now. I will try for a more comprehensive update tomorrow. Good night, friends!
