sarakingdom Posted December 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 Because Hogswatch is simultaneously the solstice, the flying red suit man day, and the last night of the year, I have one more Hogswatch to go. To that end, I'm redefining 'nice' to be very specific, starting tomorrow: Sleep 8 hours (or at least 7 to pass) Drink a gallon of water (or at least 3L to pass) Walk 7500 stupid steps for my stupid mental and physical health (or at least a walk to pass) Now I'm going to go cook some pig and some cabbage for Hogswatch dinner. 6 Quote I felt like I could run forever, like I could smell the wind and feel the grass under my feet, and just run forever.

sarakingdom Posted December 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Still ultra exhausted. My sleep deficit is out of the danger zone, and slowly closing in on acceptable deficit, but I still feel very, very tired. Also, sleep is hard. Still getting things done, but I really don't want to be. I want to be getting mythical good sleep. That I wouldn't get even if I tried. 1 4 Quote I felt like I could run forever, like I could smell the wind and feel the grass under my feet, and just run forever.

I know it's not very optimistic, but optimism can go bite me in those moods. Not doin' it for me. I'm pretty contrarian and very good at picking apart reasoning. If anyone (including myself) ever told me I had no choice but to live with something, I'd immediately think "that's a lie I'm being told, and I'm being told it to make me do something", and start considering all the ways to do the exact opposite. I never motivate myself with any statement that can be falsified by the existence of self-harm; I don't need that energy in my life.
