“When the blackberries hang
swollen in the woods, in the brambles
nobody owns, I spend
all day among the high
branches, reaching
my ripped arms, thinking
of nothing, cramming
the black honey of summer
into my mouth; all day my body
accepts what it is. In the dark
creeks that run by there is
this thick paw of my life darting among
the black bells, the leaves; there is
this happy tongue.”
-Mary Oliver
I went to PT today and had a check-in with my boss. Listening to local radio while I work. I wonder what the rest of the day will hold?
I stayed inside all day. Locked in on some work tasks. Scrolled neocities. Played mario kart with my roommate on my switch. CLEANED THE CRAFT ROOM (some)!! SCOOPED THE LITTER!!! I am a champion of tasks!!! Got late night taco bell as a reward... live mas!
Roommate picked up donuts for us which kick started my morning on a beautiful sugar high. No shock... I crashed at lunch and took a nap. Did more real work work. Friend came over for dinner and I made roasted veggies and taters and bonzos. We played mario kart and piku niku. My roomie showed off their larp clothes. I visited my animal crossing island.
Woke up before my alarm and felt semi rested for once? Dare I say taking my PM meds earlier and sleeping on my back helps with the pain and morning grogginess??? I had an interview today that I think went really well. Got a slushie from circle k afterwards. About to go hang out with the gay teens and be a cool adult fostering community and shit.
Spent the morning framing some artwork for a new gallery space. Drove my ass to said gallery space because today was drop off day... I work well on a deadline lol. Went to the local creative reuse store afterwards. Visited some friends that just moved back from a two year blip living in NYC. BIG BIG thunderstorm~!
Went to church. Came home and had a bowl of cereal. Took a nap. Ate lunch. Went to my moms. Came home and neocitied
Did some work, met with my boss as I usually do Mondays. Went and picked up cat food and got gas in my pj's. I think I napped during the day for a bit?
Woke up in a lot of pain, which has been the case for a couple weeks now but today was a lot worse than even that subpar baseline. Got some dissapointing news and took a nap about it so I didn't freak out. Met with financial aid office of my school. Went to my clinically prescribed /hj massage appointment where she tried to help my pain but made it worse and I had to lay on ice for like ten mins before leaving. she did also help fwiw, my nerves r sensitive rn idk.
