I wasn't going to post anything today because I figured 'well, nothing very interesting happened today', but then I figured, well, I felt pretty good yesterday after getting my thoughts out and talking about my day, so why not do that again.
I think I'm going to take an early night today, because I have some coursework to do, but I'm honestly too tired. So, I'd rather just get up early to do it tomorrow. I have recently become somewhat of an early bird, which is something I never thought I'd be. But I really enjoy getting up early, and having some time to myself before work. To just have a coffee, and relax in bed, watch some silly stuff on youtube etc. Sometimes I do some extra work if I have any.
Anyway, today, yes. I went to go get groceries after work, and I saw some shitake mushrooms for sale, so I got those and ended up making myself a proper dinner. (I don't always have the willpower now days, what with work, and doing my course). But it was really nice to make and have a proper meal. I made mash potatoes, with a lot of butter and eggs, broccoli, and shitake mushrooms fried in butter. If only I had had kefir, it would have been perfect ! I really did enjoy it though. I love homecooked food, even if I don't always have the energy to make it.
I'm also in a pretty good mood today, very chipper and happy. I think it's still the left over good mood from the weekend. It's odd how much my mood affects my experience of life. Music sounds better. I'm happier to cuddle with my dog. etc.
Now that I'm sitting and writing here, I'm thinking, it's already October, and this year I'm so busy that I hardly even noticed, despite the fact that I absolutely love autumn and usually I'm super excited and looking forward to it. But now that I AM aware of it, I'll definitely try to enjoy it. I don't want to miss it. I might try to go on a long walk with my dog this weekend, and maybe make some autumn-y baked goods. I might make brac. I'd love to make some pumpkin cookies, but it's very hard to buy pumpkin puree where I live, so I need to make it myself which is somewhat tedious. But yes, I'll definietely try to enjoy autumn while it's here.
Thinking about this has also had me thinking about how lost in work and course stuff I am. It doesn't seem like it should take up that much time, but between that, taking care of my animals, the apartment, and myself, it does feel like i've hardly any time left. Which... is okay, i think? I think it's okay to sometimes give yourself a little bit of slack, when you know your plate is full. Still, I do wish I had a little more time, just to do moe hobby stuff. Paint and such. And when I was working part time, especially during the summer, I went on so many fun adventures, and now it seems like everything neeeds careful planning. And what little time I do have, I spend with either my boyfriend, or trying to organise playing games with my friends, so we can still all keep in touch, and make sure to have a bit of a break from the day to day.
Anyway. Yes, I think it's okay to give myself a bit of slack in terms of not really having much energy for adventuring and hobbies. I think it's okay, if for a little while, I just do the basics and ration my energy.
Besides, I am very happy about where I am in life right now. And I'm working so I can save up and hopefully move in with my boyfriend within the next year or two. Which is very exciting.
I might try to read before I go to sleep. Because I definitely would love to read more. But you know what, if I don't feel like reading and just watch youtube, that's fine too. Because who's gonna judge me, and does it matter?
Goodnight :)
P.S: Sometimes I think about all the people who used to make gifs like these. I wonder what kind of people they were, and how they made these gifs. I wonder what they do now, and if they're as nostalgic for them as I am. I wonder if any of them still continue to make gifs like these. I hope they know that there's still plenty of people who love them though. Sometimes I get sad thinking they might dissapear from the internet as time goes on. It makes me almost want to archive as many of them as I can. Anyway, goodnight goodnight x2
