I just woke up so I’ll talk about yesterday. I made a very solid self-development plan for 2026 and I feel proud of it. I have general anxiety so I tend to overthink and overcomplicate things, but I think I kept it as minimal and realistic as possible. I’m trying to focus on progress over perfection, so I feel relieved not to have the pressure to be “done” by the end of every month. I’m mainly doing this because it helps to know what comes next and that I’m waking up every day with a plan. Otherwise, I get overwhelmed with what to do and experience executive dysfunction. So I’m happy that I took some time for myself, reflected deeply, and invested in my future :)

Waiting to board a plane and then I’m going to nap so hard. I should get some jet engine wash tracks for sleeping normally at home. I am usually asleep before the plane takes off.

Discovering that I can, with measure, work a half day this morning without paying too dearly for it.

Recovery is slow, I was afraid I wouldn’t achieve it.

Coffee

Just noticed my orchids are spiking this morning! It’s one of my markers that the days are indeed moving and that spring is inching closer.

Seeing my puppy dog run around with his toy like he has no cares in the world.

I had a bit of a rough time with my first civ pro reading, but the professor was amazing. Like I had a moment where I reflected in amazement that the horrible reading and awesome lecture covered the same material.

When my babies napped on my belly, I would fall asleep immediately. Got one hand on their back that wouldn’t move, and zzzzzzz

Got covid and flu shots Saturday and that took me out all weekend. Today I felt good enough to distribute the new moss around my turtle enclosure. According to their new meters, it’s 85f and 95% humidity which is just where they want go be. I’ve been watching them tromp around and bask.

Watching my cats fly halfway across the room in pursuit of their toys and then having them lay down by my side asking for cuddles. Adopting them a few weeks ago has given my life so much meaning and joy.

Walked home through the snow today, it was really beautiful.

Hasn’t happened yet. I think my favourite part of any day is when I get into bed to go to sleep, and I drift off. It’s so peaceful.

Second to that, that first cup of coffee. And my breakfast which is scrambled eggs with garlic and some other protein (I mean besides the eggs, not that garlic is protein) mixed in. Usually it’s turkey sausage. Sometimes it includes cheese. Generally whatever I have in the fridge.

As far as keeping Lemmy going… I see a lot of people making posts, and reposting them to more communities or instances. That’s fine, I guess, cast a wide net, but I think generating conversations is more important. So, thank you for that.

Listening to a podcast while raining outside

Favourite part is always reading in a hot bath in silence at the end of the night.

No lack of content for my usage needs. I mean I would love for all the neat little niche things to be here.
