Depicted in the image is Sisyphus pushing his legendary boulder up a hill, written in the boulder are the words, "The fucking dishes and the fucking laundry."

End image description.

Straight up though I recently learned a really weird way of editing pictures for creative distortion (it involves Audacity (the sound editor)) and I straight up forgot to do both before work.

Yesterday and today.

Good news is I learned a lot on how editing those pictures works. Bad news is tonight's dinner was cereal eaten out of a mug with a fork.

I am on medication because I couldn't stay focused long enough to develop some habits. Now I can still do them even without medication because of being able to develop them and enough repetition, but medication still helps with developing new habits!

It definitely helped with some things, but not so much with others. Is to be expected, though.

Anyhow, I'll talk to my doctor about it, how to proceed. Methylphenidate didn't feel all too right to me, even if some things worked, like craving less sugar
