The NSVs are far more important than any number on a scale - and even more important than that is the consistency and dedication you keep putting in. You deserve your celebration; the scale will catch up!

(Olga with Monica Loughman Ballet, Dublin. Photo by Keith Dixon) Good day again. Was worried i would crash after yesterday was so very buisy, but im actually fine (insert shock here).  went for a lovely swim this morning. Just a sliver of beach but with an outgoing tide we risked it. Water was refreshing and so clear. One of those lovely days where the sea and sky where so very blue.    went for a spot of lunch at a local cafe and now back chilling out in the shade. Today is very hot and cloudless with very little breeze.    folk evening was good. Ended up on a stool, which normally means 2.5 hrs of extreme discomfort. Doing all those Planks is clearly paying off though as it was fine. Very Good to know  

Adding another vote for murderbot!    I go through several month long phases in which I’m unable to read anything. Sometimes it’s stress/fatigue related, but sometimes it’s a mystery. I just roll with it and when I feel ready to read again I start with something easy, maybe something I’ve already read, a graphic novel, short stories or novella or a kids/YA book.

Honestly, probably not. I get the impression it’s aimed at neurotypical people who get into a midlife crisis/mild depression for the first time in their life and wonder why they’re not happy anymore. And you can find everything online anyway.   Fair! Even if I realised it in retrospect it’s tricky in the moment when it keeps shifting form.

Yay for shameless stealing, more bugs for everyone! 😄   this is indeed crazy, kudos to you!   How is the KB training going these days?

Today and yesterday still have no TGUs, which is partly because I hate working out when Cidran is working from home. Neither of us has slept all that well lately, and he woke up with anxiety today.  🎵"Why are my eyes, and my heart, and my soul so heavy?"🎶 I talked about what's been on my mind the last few weeks, but none of it's been conclusive, and he wasn't giving any feedback, which is both good and bad because usually his feedback is negatory, but no feedback feels like an echo chamber.    Last night, we exchanged YouTube videos and Webtoon comics. I made dinner from a box kit, but I gave it oomph with extra seasonings and some minced bell pepper. He had anticipated my wish to play Terra Nil because they've updated it, but I wanted to work on the art folder again. I sifted through everything for two sets: a rainbow mermaid and a set of four mer-people who supposedly know each other. The former had a frame-able drawing in my last round of redraws, so I've taken a picture. The latter four have not had a recent drawing, though I am contemplating drawing one. 😃 Happy to have an artistic idea processing in my head. 😅 I also finished watching Mortius and his friend Casper reacting to Epic the Musical's last saga of Act I. They'd only just posted the last video a few days ago, so I timed that rather luckily. And since heavy storms rolled my way, I also played a few songs from the Ocean Saga of Epic while I finished my project and put away all my art things.   I have to be at work early today, but at least on the far end of the day is Humblewood as we begin to ascend the mountain to find the bandit coalition's home base.   Hope the rain did a lot of good, Maerad

Do you think it is worth it? I could reserve a translated copy at my library, but it's always a bit of a hassle and I would typically have to wait for a few weeks. What you're describing sounds fine, although I agree with the meh-exercises being meh.   Noticing the pattern and knowing what to do with it is half the battle . I blame the gazillion burn-outs and therapy more than the actual diagnosis on me being able to recognize and act.   Love the handstand life-lessons!
