  1. I managed to plan today better with time for breaks, so things are feeling less overwhelming today.
  2. Soaking my feet in a mix of white vinegar and water and then giving them a scrub has significantly helped with how icky they were feeling. I’ll probably do a chemical foot peel as well 'cause those are just fun and should also help even more with the hard dead skin.
  3. Someone on Mastodon pointed me toward Miro which should be perfect for making this flowchart I want to do.

  • i’m grateful that skritter is having a sale on subscriptions right now. obviously i immediately got mine! yay for not having to force myself much longer to pile on kanji i won’t remember because i’ve barely seen them before; yay for now having much more learning material at my disposal! :D
  • self-grattiude: one of my goals is finished!! :D the book draft for my uni application is done! it’s a “translation” of poe’s raven, translated into abstract minimalism by having it just be colourful pages with punched silhouettes. idk if i’m explaining it well, and only the first verse exists so far (it’s just a draft), but if anyone’s interested i’d be happy to show you the pdf :D
  • i’m grateful i got to have a spontaneous call with someone today.
  • i’m grateful for a response i got from a friend today.

  1. SGQ: I did a terrible job being good yesterday, didn’t make much beeminder progress, scrolled twitter & youtube long into the night and ruined my sleep… but I’m doing a good job today of taking a deep breath and putting my schedule back together and it’s gonna be fine!

  2. SGQ: I got out of bed promptly even though I really didn’t want to.
  3. The mealworms that I breed to feed to the garden lizards and scrub turkeys have produced babies. It’s always exciting to see the first tiny wriggles in a batch of eggs.

  • i’m grateful i woke up today with a smile on my face, and also just a few minutes before the alarm. super positive emotions always turn to super negative emotions in the long run, i feel, life is an emotional roller coaster, but it’s still nice to wake up with a smile on my face :)
  • i’m grateful that i had a mostly chill day with my mother.
  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful i’m not forcing myself to stay awake longer.

  • self-gratitude: i’m super super grateful i managed to get all the long long overdue flat cleaning done today before going out tonight. (laundry still needed to be hanged to dry, and a few things needed to be put back in their place, but at least the biggest tasks—cleaning, taking out the garbage, vacuuming—were all done before i left for dinner! :)
  • as a result, i’m grateful i got to come home to an amazingly clean flat (in comparison).
  • i’m grateful for the great dinner i got! home-cooked pasta is :yum:

  1. SGQ: I woke up early today, before the heat of the day really got cooking, and had a really nice day with an excellent mix of productivity and relaxation. And - I’m getting to bed early tonight too, right after I post this!
  2. I had time to do a bunch of sewing & mending today and finished off two projects!
  3. My new guitar strings came in the mail and they sound rather nice and I had a very pleasant playing session (although I somewhat overdid it and my fingertips are still a bit sore).

  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful that i managed not to completely lose my temper when i had to once again tech-support my mum tonight, after a long day and too little sleep, no less.
  • i’m grateful that the state of [a certain emotional situation] was not as bad today. it wasn’t great, but being busy helps. it could have been way worse, in any case. (or maybe not, but i like to pretend it could have been way worse, just so i can feel a little better XP)
  • i’m grateful i managed to do enough headway on a task today that i won’t need to work on it anymore before i go on vacation, when it’s gonna be on a newly-scheduled break. the reason i didn’t schedule the break earlier is because i wasn’t sure until today if maybe the task would have been finished completely by the time my vacation starts (6 days from now!! :0), but talking with the prof today, we agreed that it should wait until after i’m back again, when all the things will hopefully be prepared for me to assemble.

  3. SGQ: I finished an annoying task that I’ve been working on for a week.
