serafaerylistened to a lot of my audiobook, tried to get my room organized, i unpacked and repacked so many things but it still looks the same. maybe if i make some runs to the garage and studio, it'll start to look a little different. i hope it isn't this ugly once the new furniture arrives.
did laundry. caught up on dishes.
will try to go to bed soon and get up early enough to henna my hair and shower and decide if i'm up for a day of skiing solo. might be just the thing to snap me out of this funk. but if i need to stay home and keep unpacking that's okay too, i could run later instead of skiing, less driving, no taking my life into my hands over the mountain.
tyler randomly texted me an albino jaguarundi cub video and i'm just perplexed. he did give me dates for clear lake finally.
josh says to use the boots i am thinking of buying as a reward for doing some work. he is using my own strategies to advise me - i've been talking about using rewards to hack my brain into being more productive and developing better habits. so i guess i better start scheduling again and stop hiding from the world. i unfortunately am in the "omicron is inescapable" camp, as much as i don't want to be a part of it, it's inevitable as far as i can tell. if andrea wants to hide from it that's fine but i'm not going to be able to do that, i don't think. can i tolerate another lock down in the dead of winter? doubtful.
took lunar for a very long walk, as it was finally a day when it was not freezing and we had a break in the rain. he got confused and went back to the old apartment and refused to leave, but once he realized i was headed back to our new place, he trotted back happily. silly thing. that will be our last visit to the old apartment as our lease there expires tomorrow.
i love the new apartment. we get the birds, still, but also a much better view east, for sunrises, and my bedroom/office has a westerly window for sunsets as well. it'll be okay. it'll just take time to get it set up and functional. it's better than it was, i did make some progress today even if it's hard to tell.
my life is so good. josh is being so kind and calm. i will pull out of this, i can feel a softening around the sadness and anger and frustration. i can feel the goodness of my existence slowly seeping back into my skin.
the fasting was helpful. a forced calm. and not eating all day makes me very tired, so maybe i'll actually sleep, tonight.
