- Content note: medical! By the end of the day, I’ll have some clarity on what can be done about the (99% likely to be benign because no angiogenesis at all) tumour in my leg. Fingers crossed they’re happy to remove it and that can be done soon.
- I was all fidgety last night and I pushed myself to pick up a book, and it helped.
- Dad is giving me a lift to the hospital, and Mum will attend the appointment with me for moral support.

- SGQ: I made good trade-offs yesterday, swapping out a late bedtime for getting ahead on cleaning, because my goal for the latter was in worse shape than that for the former and I knew I’d still be able to get enough sleep (which I did).
- Excellent day at work, got a lot done and didn’t have much stress.
- All the effort of more than 350 Celeste community members to build the Strawberry Jam mod, which I’ve recently started playing through and is incredibly well done and pleasant.

- i’m grateful that my mother is okay again.
- i’m grateful that i can easily distract myself with fun things sometimes.
no full self-gratitude today, although the last point could probably be rephrased as such. but i’m now officially okay with only posting 1 gratitude instead of 3 / posting no self-gratitude at all, on worse days, without feeling like i’m doing this wrong.

i’m grateful that two negative findings today didn’t tank my mood as much as they would have on other days.
- i didn’t get new headphones (or a new cable for my old ones), because the shop i wanted to go to doesn’t exist after all (i probably misread the sign when i was there a while ago).
- the bubble tea shop i always go to is on vacation until probably september, so i wasn’t able to get any bubble tea today.
luckily, i didn’t feel as depressed about these things as i would have on worse days.
