week 01 in review
NICE THINGS IN GENERAL
Put SW: The Last Jedi on for Mum, and she really enjoyed it.
My big brother’s little two came around with some carnations for me. Precious.
My sister’s eldest bought me a bath bomb last week, which I used this morning.
It feels good to be back on Dreamwidth (I say back, I mean since Livejournal in 2010) in ways I didn’t expect at all.
ACCOMPLISHED

Sketched a little smut because enemyofperfect wants to make a gif out of it!
NOT SO ACCOMPLISHED
Haven’t done any journalling at all in more than a week, which is bad for me on several levels.
I have cried three nights out of seven this week, which...on the one hand being able to cry is good, and also a relief, but it’s pretty unfun in general.
My sleep routine is thoroughly screwed, finding it difficult to get to sleep (or want to) and get out of bed (or want to). Not sleeping until past midnight has become grossly regular, which means I’m only getting six hours or so of sleep. No bueno.
My brother commissioned some work from me on Thursday, which is great, but I have avoided it for three days and I only have a week further to work on it…
Only drafted two D&D sessions out of a potential five, which is down to an understandable combination of my getting back on track with work stuff, and the sessions getting longer and wordier, but I’m still a little disappointed.
Signing up for the exchange is pretty stressful, and I’m struggling to not pre-emptively reject myself. Three years ago it was me talking someone into doing it, and today it the reverse and I’m just not sure I’m capable of such things any more.
I wanted to come up with an informal challenge in the vein of Get Your Words Out for myself, so I could get 50,000 words of work on my original fiction idea (which works out to 150 words per day and leaves a 30 day buffer) but I have only managed one day of writing this week and that involved a demoralising realisation that I don’t know how to come up with words if I don’t already know what I’m writing about and I’m not sure I know how to (how have the time or energy to figure out right now) how to get around that.
I have been meaning to give my face a good scrub and treat myself to one of the masks I’ve been hoarding but I keep putting it off for some reason? It’s just too much work?
NEXT WEEK?
Order a few essential oils and try burning those in water as part of a bedtime routine, try and get to sleep before 11:00pm.
I’ve always use 20/10 pomodoro sessions to get things done, and I’ve been wanting to increase this for a long while, so I think I’ll try 35/10 from here on, and see how that goes for a week.
Getting that commission done has to be top priority, I’ve only got until Saturday to do it.
So, on Saturday I was followed by three spam/porn bots in the space of an hour, which has dredged up some more grumbly feelings about tumblr. Maybe I should write them up for a post…
Need to figure out how to make time for the things I need and/or want to do, so I should put some thinky introspecting time aside for that. This is probably a bigger knot that I can even cut through in one week, but probably the sooner I start, the better.

Seriously though, it makes me so happy to see you making a new home here on Dreamwidth. And although I admit I'm a huge fan both of private and of daily journaling, this is a pretty good journal entry right here!
I hope your essential oil experiment turns out well, too. What kinds do you think you'll try?
