  •  i’ve been reading a lot, which feels really good. I’ve finished three books in the past week, and i’m only one away from my goal for the year (which was 12 lol) and am currently working on that 12th book! i think actually tracking my reading and leaving little reviews is helpful! 
  • work is the same. annoying, mostly. when will i become the trophy wife i deserve to be….
  • i need a haircut sooooo badly but i hate paying money to get my hair done. it’s so expensive. wahhh. I also didn’t get the bonus i thought i would so i’m worried about money. as always. sigh  
  • the sun has been out sooo much and it’s been so nice. i’ve remembered to take my meds lately too which is always good, and helpful for the like. you know. serotonin. 
  • i’ve found the best flavor of giradhelli (how do you spell this rip) chocolates and it is SUCH. a treat. it’s the little things.

a list
  • I finished small game finally. i liked it. it took me kind of a surprising amount of time to go through it. i was expecting it to be more of a thriller. i don’t know why, because it isn’t advertised as one. 
  • made it through work today. blessedly not busy (for black friday weekend) 
  • i’ve already started reading (and am halfway through) a minor chorus. will probably finish it up tonight. 
  • im allowing myself to buy a coffee before work tomorrow. i will need it. 
  • really struggling with all the redness in my skin. i just want people to be able to see my freckles and think i’m cute 
  • i scheduled my booster shot. excited to get it, though it will probably knock me out like all the other ones have. i’m sensitive šŸ˜–
  • feeling much better today because i saw and felt the sun. vitamin d, huh

new things
I wrote a fic for Rachel's bday gift that is pretty different than what I usually write, and I think I really like it! I find it's always exciting when that happens ahah.

good things
I took today off and it was nice to just sleep and not have anything to do. The weather has been mingling with my depression (which is not good) but I'm feeling better, and the sun is going to come out next week! I'm also excited for thanksgiving, because I love stuffing and the pumpkin cake I make and roasted carrots and mashed potatoes. my car registration sticker came in the mail finally, so I don't need to worry about that, either.

annoying things
I guess the fact that I am the person who has to like, manage my mom's feelings for her and it's exhausting. lol also! I keep losing socks and I'm real mad about it.

gratitude of the day
the little laundry room that's a short walk from my apartment. clean clothes. a warm bed.

new(?) things
this category is a little weird because I don't really have a lot of new experiences in a day, but maybe I'll change that. I'm getting used to this platform again, and tumblr, which is nice. It is really kind of chaotic to have to check so many different socials, but I don't mind.

good things
I had today off, and it's the first sunday I've had off and to myself in probably months. I cleaned my house last night to make it functional so I didn't have to do anything today and it's been great. I watched survivor and wrote fic and then made a powerpoint about former figure skaters. It all feels good! Hopefully I will read some tonight too.

annoying things
thanksgiving is coming and I have a lot to do! I need to make pumpkin bread/cake, I need to take my mom to her appointment on tuesday, i need to do so much laundry....I'm overwhelmed. It's all manageable though.

gratitude of the day
stealing from brenna bc I like it. I'm thankful for my cats and a place to live and people who love me.

new things
I picked up a new coffee. It's a holiday blend called "chocolate cheer" and I made cold brew with it. I like it so far! It has a deep, rich dark chocolate smell and taste to it, which I love.

good things
I saw my friend and celebrated her birthday with her tonight. That was fun. I saw some other people I hadn't seen in a bit! I always have fun when that happens. We played Cards Against Humanity, which generally I don't like to play as it turns into an opportunity to just be mean to one another, but this group did not do that.

I saw Ateez in Fort Worth last wednesday, and they were SO good. I know they are great performers but seeing them live was next level and I am so glad I went, even if I slept through my alarm the next morning. I can post some pictures and stuff in another post if other people are interested! I think I was most surprised by Seonghwa. He is so gorgeous and such a dynamic and powerful performer. I was happy to see my main bb Mingi, too. They are all so talented!!! Also, I was originally seated in the upper bowl, but I...seat jumped. I'm part of the problem!!! But I was sooo close and they were seats that hadn't sold. I'm not a thief!

annoying things
I have honestly too many to count, but the main one right now is how soul-sucking working in retail is during the holidays. People are so rude and so entitled. Please be kind to retail workers, folks!

new things
I bought some new clothes today. I get half off at old navy (whoo!), so i went to get some long sleeve tees. They are kinda short but i’m in between sizes. I do wonder what they will look like with my underwire bra on…. but that’s an issue for another day.

I invited my coworker out for a drink (as friends!) after work and she said she’s down but i do not k ow if we will actually go. I’m kinda nervous about it. She seems to like me, though, even though i’m uhhh me. This sounds self-deprecating but i’ve been told multiple times that in person i’m very dry and hard to get a read on. so we will see what happens! a potential new friend sounds fun.

good things
my cats are healthy and cute as ever! the cold weather means they want to cuddle me more, which i love. I bought some things i will need for the holidays today at dollar tree. One thing is something i needed to finish a present I’m making for someone, so i am particularly excited about that! I work from home tomorrow, and I get to see ateez on wednesday!!!!!!!!!!

I’m going to skip the annoying things section, because today was a fairly good day and I don’t need to think about minor annoyances! Feeling good and thankful for friends and family and all that stuff. <3

new things
I have been using a new hair product (odele leave in detangling tonic) and it’s helped so much. hair much softer and smoother! I’ve been searching for an affordable after-shower product for a long time, so i’m pleased to find this! smells nice too.

good things
I got my car registration renewed, even though it was a big hassle. I’m enjoying my book. It’s still cold and I love wearing my million different sweatshirts and sweaters.

annoying things
I have to do so much laundry ;___; my back hurts, and i have a 9am meeting at the gap tomorrow.

I have never successfully journaled before, but maybe I’ll start trying. I guess I just think I don’t have much to say that people will care about. Also, when I have a blank page in front of me, all my thoughts zoom out the window.

so, let’s try categories.

new things
I’ve started putting ā€œtheyā€ in my pronouns. for so long i thought of pronouns as something you have to be, which i realize of course is idiotic. (to be clear, i thought this for myself and not other people!) so, i guess that’s true still kind of, but adding ā€œtheyā€ has given me this sense of relief. the idea that i don’t have to be a girl all the time (and eschewing the idea of the gender binary…if i’m not a girl then i must be a boy (which i have been eschewing for a long time! but it’s one thing to know something and another to apply it to yourself.)) is actually really comforting. i can just exist in my body and that’s ok. i haven’t mentioned it to
my mom yet because she’ll ask a million questions that i don’t know the answers to, but maybe one day i will.

good things
it’s finally cold!!!!!! i got to wear my sweatshirt from my study abroad trip in cork!!! ;_____; i’m seeing ateez next wednesday!!!!!! i bought an extremely cute jar from my ceramicist friend. i am so excited to put trinkets inside.

annoying things
i think my car battery is going to die and i also have to renew my registration this month….rip wallet.

I wrote this a few years ago while in graduate school. It's what's called an affect journal. Thanks for reading.
