Took today off. I messaged yesterday when I knew I had too. Did not sleep well last night again. Lawyer and plumber stuff in the morning, old owner showed up again with something that he'd forgot to leave and asking for the second half of the money for the stuff they left. I had to pay. Did some shopping, a friend and her granddaughter stopped by to see the place. Did a lot more unpacking and cleaning. Got the shower clean enough to use. Only a few boxes left in living, kitchen, and dining room. Almost time to venture into the spare room where most boxes are & clean my old apartment. The bathroom is a problem, less storage than my old place. Need to get storage racks for the laundry room and basement.
Caught a few glimpses of the view as I unpacked, reminding me why I bought this place. Still not happy with it, not since all the additional baggage from the problems. Still focused on the negatives.
Anxiety all day, borderline on attacks a couple of times, but never crossed into one. Bad again at night and I lay in bed. Not looking forward to tomorrow. Returing to work with all this going on. Work itself being so busy (as if it ever eases up). At my computer up on the dining room table with the river behind it for tomorrow since my desk is buried. Probably be working there for a couple weeks at least.
Supposed to have a BBQ dinner for my friends who stored my stuff for the just year on Saturday but I dunno if I can get it in. Have so much to do...

So no more hot water at all. Completely stopped working yesterday. Messaged the plumbers but since the whole tank is being replaced in a week it's not worth spending money on.
Mail for the former owner came in today, my anxiety has been high since. I'm going to collect it until Friday and then message him but I don't like leaving things. If something comes up I have to do it, get it over with, but if I messaged today I'd have to message him every day. So better to do it just once at the end of the week
Did some "fun" unpacking last night. Screwed in the legs to my new, fancy live edge epoxy river table (bit of a stressful job, have to be careful not to crack the wood so drilled pilot holes and then hand screwed a quarter turn at a time). Set up my BBQ/smoker. Moved a bunch of stuff to the shed that doesn't need to be in the house.
Landlord is having repairs and cleaning done. He asked me when I could be out. I said I planned on doing my own work on the place Sunday but if he was willing to wave that I could be out Thursday night. He agreed so that his guy can do the work Friday. So that's one less thing off my plate, just need to do another run to finish emptying everything from my apartment.
I have a massage tonight will hopefully help my sore muscles and relax me. Will have to do a cold shower before I go.

Had my Dr. (or technically the woman I see is a nurse practitioner) and she put in the referral to see a psychiatrist for the autism evaluation, now I just need to hear back. She warned me that it could be 2 or 3 months before I get it, which is a little disappointing, because I was really hoping to get in sooner so I could get working on the applying for disability ASAP.
Wow, I didn't realize I was that lucky, I guess I can't complain then.
Yes, and usually states have their own doctors who have to review the whole file. It takes at least one hearing, and such. Multiple hearings sometimes.
At least in Washington.
No, I never did, but I think I will now. I forgot about it before....did you?
If I'm going to do it for autism, won't I need to wait until I have the official diagnosis?
EDIT: I just took the test, and I got a 22/80, and it says anything under a 30 indicates a lack of empathy common with people with autism or Aspergers.
