week 03

GOOD STUFF

• Two family gatherings in one week! Much food was eaten!

• Finished playing Red Dead Redemption 2!

• Finished the patch in time for my niece's birthday! I’m pretty sure she loved it!

• Finished a zero draft of my chocolate box fic!

• Bought myself a filofax! Made some planner inserts with my own two hands (and my computer)!

• I managed to read some more of Blackout while I was sitting around downstairs!

OTHER STUFF

• My feelings/self esteem has been all up and down this week, and they’re both low enough to begin with. I don’t know what that’s about and it’s pretty exhausting. But I had some brave conversations about some things that were upsetting me, so there’s that?

• I’m really glad I got that patch done. I was tempted to let it go, on account I had taken her to London, to Comic Con, for the weekend in November, so I didn’t really need to give a present. But I did it, and even though I was a knot of anxiety for most of the early stages because it wasn’t coming out as neat as I wanted, but it came out pretty cute in the end.

• I am...not exactly enjoying Blackout, but I’m feeling compelled to finish it because it’s the last book of a trilogy and I want to know how it ends, and there was just enough high points to keep me wondering what the next one might be.

• I have a problem with planning that is difficult to put into words. I love for everything to be neat and organised and specific, but...I don’t really feel like I have enough control over my time to be able to tell myself we can do x for this block of time and y for that block of time, and I don’t have the courage to say please don’t disturb me while i’m doing this thing that’s important to me. ….And then I just end up wasting all my time with random junk anyway…. It’s like my brain sees that I can’t possibly fit in all the things I want to do, so doing none of them is the most reasonable option….
