No worries!  Check in when you can, and stay as long as you like with a thread. Jump in wherever -- you don't have to read every post to belong.

 

We love you.

You did the important stuff! You shouldn't be disappointed! Especially if you're not having the best day that absolutely can be counted as a win.

 

Also maybe change how you loaf around a couple of times and you can add working on your posture to the list.

(And thank you for the daily inspiration. If you want to hear about truly useless overthinking: I sometimes look at quotes, just for myself, no purpose really... and wonder if they are attributed to the right person and where to check. Because apparently I need proper citation just for fun. It makes no sense.)

This is enough.

You are enough.

Be gentle with yourself.

Rest, and know that you are loved.

brain has been in rebellion mode the past couple of days. had to sleep to get myself out of an axiety spiral earlier today. playing genshin to distract myself.

[spooky]

okay i got up and showered this morning, went to the market, ran the dishwasher, helped with laundry, and have been playing genshin. that little sense of momentum helps. gotta sweep next, and do some of my course, which i've been willfully ignoring the past couple of days. still feeling overwhelmed but reminding myself procrastinating makes this feeling worse

 

inspiration:

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

okay i did an hour and a half of my course today so yay me!

I had my birthday this week along with migraines and chronic fatigue. Addressing this is going to be the focus of my next challenge. But I'm still here for the rest of this one so it's about making the best steps i can in the time i have left, and then planning wisely for the next one. And also not totally peacing out because I don't feel well.

[Shello]

Happy Birthday.  Hopefully you had a chance to celebrate despite migraines and fatigue.  They're such jerks!

going to go get some blood tests this afternoon, literally so tired of being perenially exhausted

[spooky]

bloodwork looks healthy, still working on figuring out what's going on, trying to get a physical appointment. giving myself a level up for this challenge since the exhaustion and headaches are really taking up a lot of my time and energy. will see everyone next challenge, link to come soon!
