(through gritted teeth) sometimes what's good for your mental health isn't another do nothing day or a little treat sometimes what's good for you is putting in some of the work. Not all of it at once but sometimes you have to finish that essay or at least take the next step or you have to clean your room or at least dust the shelves or you gotta do the laundry or at least put it all in the hamper and it's not fun and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks but you have to because i read a post on the internet that told me that's what being nice to yourself is sometimes

My mum wanted to go to my reading event with me but unfortunately she’s ill, so it’s probably for the better, if I just go on my own. I still need to pack and prepare for that, but I am also behind on uni work and I’d really just rather write than do anything else, but what can you do.
To Do today:
Dentist AppointmentGo to Post Office- write to the organisers, train tickets
Case 12Case 13- Go through my scenes once again
- Pack for Reading Event (Don’t forget pens for signatures and pack three books!)
- Write, if time
All the best

Have I ever shown my desk during the day? It looks really cozy today haha.
Organised chaos in the library?
Really enjoying my computer security class, and my swimming lessons!! The teacher said my crawl was passable today, I'll take it! 🏊🏻♀️
Found groups for all my projects, so that's one less thing to worry about, now I just need to wooork and get the best grade possible.

2025. 02. 04 | Slow Tuesdays.
I don't have a work shift on Tuesdays, just Dutch class, so I can take it easy and slow. Not that on work days, I am overly stressed, but for some reason, I can't do anything else if I have a shift that day.
I'm enjoying my coffee with oat milk this morning with the second child following me around the house, while the first one ignores me. She loves her dad more.
My friend lent me a couple of books, one of which is the third Jonathan Franzen novel I will read, Crossroads. I absolutely loved The Corrections. It was rough reading it around the holidays with all the family and "are you guys going to have kids" talk because family is so complicated and he writes so well.
After lunch, I'll go restock our house/food supplies and prep a nice dish for dinner. A had to go into work today and what is food, if not an act of love.

i've had this post in my drafts since june lol anyways heres a photo of me probably struggling to grasp onto tudors content
maybe maybe a mistake taking astronomy; idk why I thought I'd suddenly be a physics mastermind just bc I have more motivation for it now. It's the first week and I have no actual clue what I'm doing (or more accurately: should be doing. Mostly so far it's been lots of staring and muttering of "what the fuck" in regular intervals)
