I worked with my primary care person yesterday to modify my return to work and she's like, "I'm I don't want to be dramatic but if this continues to be so challenging you might end up considering a human right complaint" which is extremely validating but jfc the accommodations process has FUCKING SUCKED.

Now I'm doing it out of spite.

Well I still had insurance yesterday, so hoping to still have it when I get my eyeballs examined. I might have new cavities so squeezing that in is going to be a bitch and a half, but whatever. We'll do it.

I had oral argument last night and did so bad. Also, I have to meet with advisor today to register for classes tomorrow, and my class options are not great. My externship wants me available Monday and Tuesday mornings, which eliminates pretty much the only directly relevant classes available.
