  • i’m super grateful my therapist apologized for something she said last week. i didn’t expect an apology, but i’m super glad i got one! if i had any doubts still if i made the right choice with her, they would be gone now.
  • self-gratitude-quota: i’m grateful that i managed to pull myself out of a slump today, and ended up doing fairly productive/long overdue things, which, in turn, made me feel better overall: i did some housework, and i updated my draft for the second post of enbee’s entries—originally i’d planned to post that today as well, but it took So Very Long to just get it to the point where it is now, and i still need to make and eat dinner and do a few other things, so i’ve decided to let it be Just A Draft for a little while longer (which i’m also grateful for)!
  • i’m grateful that fully catching up with the forum posts didn’t put me Out of Love again. due to various reasons, i didn’t read many forum posts/replies during the last two-ish-weeks. i got threatened with another “you’ll run out of likes soon” message a day or two ago, when i already did some catching up. surprisingly, that message didn’t hit me again today, so far. and now i’m all caught up! (with all posts and replies written ever since i joined the forum; not with the whole forum, that would be truly wild!)

  • i’m grateful for getting to spend a fun evening with my friends.
  • self-gratitude-quota: i’m grateful i’ll be going to bed now. no feelings of bedtime procrastination tempt me, i’m just really exhausted and tired, and looking forward to my bed.
  • i’m grateful i managed to walk over 10 000 steps today. this is the first day ever since after covid that i’m finally doing a ratcheting on my steps goal again, 0 safe days every day. i managed to easily meet the 7 000 steps/day goal today, which makes me optimistic for the coming days. i hope i’ll be able to meet it again tomorrow, and keep up my perfect record.

  1. SGQ: Used taskratchet and didn’t immediately fail! I accidentally found a nice meta-system of “leave the reminder email in my inbox, so inbox-zero stays red, so I don’t forget about the task in there”.
  2. Allergy medication!
  3. Big progress today on getting my current espresso beans dialed in. They’re a weird roast and I won’t be getting them again, but I’d like the rest of the bag to be at least decent.

  • self-gratitude-quota: i’m grateful i stood up for myself today. the conversation still ended in a fight, but the other person did take X right back, after i called them out about X being bullshit.
  • i’m grateful i actually set down and did some progress on a goal today, instead of letting it derail for the third time in a row without any progress whatsoever …
  • i’m grateful my internet didn’t die on me just now. did a few fandom edits and the last ones were super slow and buggy, but nothing got lost, and everything eventually let me update! i guess it might be time to clear that cache again, haha.

  1. Not meeting up with my friend today. It means a quieter day where things fit in better, plus it’d have been really difficult to find a parking space at the lake, so probably for the best that we’re flexible and skip this week!
  2. Lisa made lemon meringue pie for my sister’s birthday dinner.
  3. Dad got me Easter chocolate this year.

  3. Swap out of ancient Pentium CPU on a linux server I’m building for a newer one went really smoothly
