COPING UPDATE!
24 Jun 2013 08:59 pmWe took out so much recycling that it barely fit in the elevator with us, as well as a completely normal (actually smaller than usual) amount of trash, and the mystery smell is gone.
So the flat is now no longer making me COMPLETELY UNABLE TO DEAL WITH ANYTHING. Back to normal elevated levels of stress from disliking this class and having an interview Wednesday for the class next fall that I might not be advanced enough for and also a test on Thursday for the backup class that I'll feel like a failure if I have to fall back on, so that's all wonderful. And I can't even sleep all day Friday because I'm seeing Dr Petit Chou the therapist, but at this point I really need to see my therapist. So.
I ate today, but I didn't cook. Maybe next week (the last week of the course, haha) I'll be coping well enough to cook dinner.
It's supposed to get to 29° C on Wednesday according to current predictions. If so, it might try my resolution about not shaving my legs again. (Yes, I have made that one a zillion times before and always failed to follow through, but maybe it will work some day.)
