thursday afternoon 17-9-2026
i've been wanting to try weekly update posts. this is honestly mainly for myself since i need to start writing things down or they disappear. this also hopefully will solve the second part of getting me to make it a habit
since it is thursday, this is a log of thursday to thursday. as best as i can remember it now
i'm unable to recall what happened on thursday. on friday, the only thing i can recall at the moment is my therapy appointment. i'm not able to recall much of the weekend, though i have a feeling a slept for a good part of it. i agonized over buying groceries, for no real reason other than i very rarely am able to make decisions for myself
on monday i bought groceries. i've found a big interest in cereal these days, though i'm sure at some point i'll lose all interest in it suddenly. much like i did with the fried egg sandwiches and omelettes i was making
tuesday was rather rough. through the advice of a friend i began searching for intensive outpatient programs. the first one i looked at seemed wonderful. they listed my insurance as covered so i filled out the forms and was quite optimistic. later in the evening i was informed that it was unsure whether my insurance would be covered. i was quite taken back by this as it was listed in a quite large dropdown of supported insurance to select from. still, i pushed on and filled out some paperwork and an intake appointment
on wednesday, i learned my insurance would not be covered. i was quite frustrated, since as i said it was listed exactly as my insurance in a drop down for some forms i initially filled out. this was alright though, some further searching aided by a list of resources provided by my service coordinator led me to finding a partial hospitalization program with a focus on trauma-informed care. this was particularly important to me as many group environments i've been in are simply unaware or trauma. i always feel like an outside both in that people talk about triggering topics and when it is my turn to speak i do not get to convey what i was as i am either overwhelmed by other speaker or stealing my own voice in wanting to avoid triggering someone else in the group
on wednesday night i updated my plushies page which i was quite happy about. i updated the proxies on the two servers i have for self-hosting. i began thinking about what i wanted to host on my gemini server as well
today i added some text to my gemini capsule. i was happy to make some progress with this, and it led so some fun asides as i made sure what i was sharing was cited properly. for the time being, the capsule is made up of poems, song lyrics, and quotes. you can find it here if you'd like to visit it

later on in the day i received the analog portable radio i had ordered. i'm quite happy with it. it has a seafoam green color with a polished chrome face and knobs that remind me of 70s audio equipment. it was fun dialing in the frequency of the local jazz station i bought this radio for
see you later, websurfer
