I’m running on pretty low sleep today, there’s a good chance I’m going to crash really hard.
I have a PhD meeting where I need to deliver a journal. It currently still needs a lot of work and I’m anxious about the fact that I will not be able to deliver.
I need to get the passport kicked off as my visa will rely on this being completed.
I need to get the visa process kicked off as I will be given some additional time to collect documents if I have already kicked off the process, especially if I have a receipt saying that I am waiting on a passport.

A family member was in a serious car crash, this has been somewhat distracting as you can imagine.
I bought myself 24 more hours for the journal deadline - I’m really pushing my luck.
I am hopelessly optimistic about what can be achieved in a single day: there are 1440 minutes in a day and I seriously overbooked my day. Still, 11.5 hours of productivity is pretty good.
Got two compliments today on my weight loss, both from people that haven’t seen me in two weeks or so.
I ended up taking a nap when I really didn’t want to - but was so tired I just didn’t have a choice.
