good morning friends 😊 I've been dealing with anxiety and depression for a bit, but I appear to exist now 😅

first, my plans for today:
✓ get dressed
- breakfast
- laundry
- litter box
- dishes
- #HebrewStudy

last week, during my body double chores thing with J, I went through my linen closet and threw out some things, but also found a bunch of things to donate (mainly cat things that I'm not currently using, but also a STACK of blankets), and it just feels so freeing, knowing they're all gone ... it makes me want to do more

I want to go through my three giant bins of fabric and all my yarn next; I can either straight up donate the materials, or I can use them to make things for donation to shelters ... depends how much I just want things gone

anyway, past time for breakfast; I'm starving

Hebrew by Inbal Aug 11, 2023

Apparently my #guitar playing puts her to sleep!

Just like #hebrew study, practice is key!

welp ... I did The Call, but now I'm waiting for a call back 🙃🙃🙃 so I'm still anxious, but I don't think I'm going to throw up anymore?

so, today's agenda is:
✓ breakfast
- clean clothes
- make the bed with clean sheets
- wash my sheets
- #HebrewStudy
- afternoon tea

until I get the call back, I'm going to try to be gentle with myself. listen to favorite music or old podcast episodes that I love, etc

tea (or maybe ... #EnbyLunch?) was lovely, even though Link wanted my attention

it's now 6pm, and my day has pretty much gone to plan:
✓ breakfast
✓ get dressed
✓ #HebrewStudy
✓ take out recycling
✓ take out garbage
✓ afternoon tea
- play ARMS™

so, do I have it in me to work on one more chore thing, or is it time for #videogames?

I need to restock the cat food cans in the kitchen. that's a thing I can still do today. and then I think I'm done. my wrist hurts (carpal tunnel, hooray) so idk if I'm doing any writing today. guess I'll take some ibuprofen and see.

I just gave the cats their midday snack, and I'm about to make afternoon tea, but I needed to sit for a minute ...

my day so far:
✓ breakfast
✓ get dressed
- #HebrewStudy
✓ take out recycling*
✓ take out garbage
- check energy levels after that, maybe do more chores
- afternoon tea
- play ARMS™

so I'm going to get up in a sec, make a tuna salad sandwich, and maybe review some Hebrew while I drink tea. then I'll decide what else I'm up for today

I do have some stuff I want to write through (aforementioned "mental health shit"), but idk yet if I'm going to journal about it, or yell it into the void (aka, post it here)

also, after the podcast, I started listening to This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar (one of my FAVORITE short story authors) and Max Gladstone via Libby

*I only took out half of my recycling bc the bins weren't taken out when they should've been, due to road work, so they were really full, BUT I STILL DID IT SO I'M ALLOWED TO CHECK IT OFF, FOX

good morning, mastodonians 😊 I'm feeling slightly energetic today, so my plan is:

- breakfast
- get dressed (including perfume)
- #HebrewStudy
- take out recycling*
- take out garbage*
- check energy levels after that, maybe do more chores
- afternoon tea**
- play ARMS™ (a boxing #videogame I got recently that uses motion controls)

okay, time to make breakfast. more in a bit! 💜

#LifeStuff

*I live in an apartment building and garbage goes down a chute on my floor, whereas recycling is collected in the parking lot under the building, so they're v separate chores, in case anyone was curious

**in an effort to trick myself into eating multiple meals a day, I recently instituted Afternoon Tea, which usually involves tea, a sandwich and some kind of dessert, like cookies or a little roll cake from the Chinatown Supermarket (which is the name of a little shopping mall/large grocery store plus little restaurants)

fuck me, I cannot figure out the difference between "what's going on" and "what's up" in Hebrew, because they're so similar in meaning in English, but the Hebrew words are so different, and Mango doesn't give me the literal meaning for either of them, which is so frustrating, because "what's up" is just a colloquial/informal way to say "what's going on"

good morning, friends ... I woke up before my alarm went off??? bodies are confusing

anyway, here's the plan for today:
- breakfast/get dressed/etc
- litter box
- take out recycling
- clear off my desk before therapy
- therapy
- #HebrewStudy
- maybe take a nap
- pick up the living room

I doubt I'll get all of it done today, but so long as I make a start (and definitely get the litter box done today), I'll be happy

final update:
✓ breakfast
✓ Blanket Time™ with Midna
- #HebrewStudy
- take out recycling
- litter box
✓ go to bed before 5am

instead of doing the other things, I hung out with my friend T and his new dog, Marco! she's a rescue, and she's a little anxious and possibly came from an abusive situation, but she's very sweet and loves scritches

anyway, it's 12:30am, and I'm super tired. I'm going to bed in just a minute 😴😴😴
