 Time for trivialities, oh yes

So, today I went out for a tick under three hours. I went to my parents' house, crammed my backpack with stuff of my own, and found my mother's classical guitar and the replacement strings it needs, and she'd bought, but not yet strung, and wended my way home.
For some reason, by the time I got home I was positively shaking from low blood sugar, despite having snacked only two hours before (usually I can go to not-quite-three before hypoglycaemia kicks in, after a reasonable snack, which I'd had). Thinking about this, it has occurred to me that while my afternoon snack was a normal snack, my "lunch" consisted of an apple, which might have something to do with it. And yet, at lunchtime, I reeeaaally didn't feel like eating. Requires some thought.
After getting home, I sat my shaking self at the table while my brother-out-law made me a sammich, because he is awesome, and looked up how to restring a classical guitar, because the bridges are much, much less restringing-friendly than steel-string guitars. I... I think I can handle it.
Tomorrow, we have a rent inspection, so tonight, there will be much cleaning taking place here. I, being all chronic-pain-y, have exactly one entry on the chore list, but it makes me feel much better than if I had none. (I also may cook dinner, if the BFF lets me.)
Other than my assigned cleaning task, tonight's plan is: rest, restring Mum's guitar, play her guitar and my own, rest, get early night, more-or-less. Am several days behind on LiveJournal, but am too tired to tackle it atm. (Also, before I take on LJ friends list, will perhaps be unfriending several people who always crosspost with DWth.)
Oh, forgot on to-do list for this evening: "retune classical guitar constantly, because new nylon strings have an in-tune lifetime measured in seconds". I'm going to see if the digital tuner built into my steel-string picks up the notes from my mother's okay, for ease, but even if it doesn't, I at least have my guitar to get a tuning note from - for some reason, I remain absolutely unable to tune from a pitch pipe, but I think, somehow, tuning from an acoustic guitar low E to an acoustic guitar low E will be within my capabilities.
I feel... okay. Better than I've felt in many weeks. I think it's just possible everything will be all right, and maybe my suicide is not an inevitable thing that all this stuff we do to improve my mental health is merely delaying.Current Music: Chas raking leaves outside
