Too much on at both jobs this week man, I wish I could cruise but no bueno. Tomorrow would’ve been ideal to wfh but I gotta go in for some training, so wasting 45 mins each way in traffic. I’m definitely leaving right on time tomorrow - left at 5:15 and the traffic was disgusting. Second job if I’m lucky I might be able to knock off early on Thursday in lieu of all the extra hours I’ve clocked up, but I’m going to need turbo caffienation.
we need to go deeper
These kinds of mess ups really feel so big at the time, but I reckon… You’ll be able to look back on it and laugh in the future. It might feel really far away, but I promise this absolutely won’t define you!
If you reckon you thoroughly messed up, maybe an upshot is people have a more realistic expectation of you and it won’t feel like you have as much of a burden on your shoulders. And then maybe you’ll get to prove your worth in unexpected ways down the track 😄
Thanks for all the lovely wishes you guys 🥲 I had a long day at work which isn’t how I usually like to spend it - but it was a really good day nevertheless; I got a free bun quietly added to my bag at the bakery on my walk to work, my colleagues utterly spoiled me with gifts, had a few wins, and I treated myself to Inside Out 2 which was awesome (if a little pat near the end). So many emotions thinking about how it’s been so hard to accept parts of myself. It’s just the film I needed to feel more accepting about where I’m at and less torn up about where my sense of self and core values went…
Is this 2008 again? Flashbacks to Sarah Palin…
Oooooh now that’s special! I have been spoiled with offers of food today.
small voice may I have some birthday cake please
I’m going to watch Inside Out 2 tomorrow, I’ve decided. To prepare I just rewatched Inside Out at home and honestly every time I fall in love with it all over again. It’s one of the best ever films I’ve watched, period.
This is no mere kid’s film, it’s a goddamn psychology class and therapy rolled into one. It brings me to tears, every time (and this must be the fifth time at least). And every time i notice new details, and events of the film have new meaning…
rambling because seriously guys i love this film
This is the first time I’ve watched it post lockdown and I was honestly ugly crying at the point when Joy realises Sadness needed to take over. I mean i cry at that point every time anyway (also when Sadness sits next to Bing Bong and just listens). But this time it hit so much harder after the huge events of past years: the loss of friends, the irreversible life changes, isolation, the realisation that some joyful parts of the past are truly over and can’t drive us any more, and have to be let go to move on to new joy, the sadness taking over happy memories, the rebuilding of new networks by letting emotions blend, and of course one of the big morals of the story - don’t keep trying to push through and be happy all the time, embrace the difficult feelings or everything starts breaking down. Deny sadness and you get locked out of your brain with depression.
This film has meant so much to me over the years because I’ve always been Sadness - Negative Nelly, Debbie Downer, the character in the film to a tee - and both hated and defended that fact fiercely growing up. This was honestly the first film that gave me the permission to embrace it and be proud of it - especially the mum having Sadness running the show with empathy, it was the first time I truly understood who I could become rather than forcing myself to be someone else.
I can’t get over how the creators weaved these personal experiences we’ve all had and actual psychological concepts into such vivid, coherent, playful imagery that doesn’t just track as a very entertaining kid’s adventure film but also as an incredibly creative and powerful metaphoric film for all ages. I could watch it every year til I die, honestly.
Of course I don’t have such high hopes for the sequel. But I can’t not watch it when the original means so much to me. ❤️🩹
Ugh. Want. Miss open fires a lot. Therapeutic, mesmerising, beats being on a screen for sure.
Caught Perfect Days with a friend, I went in wanting to diss it tbh but came out generally enjoying it, it didn’t romanticise menial worker life in Japan as much as I expected it to and I enjoy that it didn’t infantilise the viewers. Good one to watch on the big screen and soak up the Vibes.
Procrastinating big time on some study items that I have to put my big girl pants on and do because nobody else will and it’s self structured so up to me to figure out… So of course I end up mopping the floors which I’ve been putting off for months. It’s good though, because the house has now got a real clean energy.
Dinner, and then I’m going to just sit in front of my laptop and force myself to read some journal articles to get the ball rolling at least.
Woah, nice haul. Sauce or powder?
My scotch bonnet looks like it might be permanently done after gifting me a bounty in April (it did survive falling down and having half of it torn off), might be the last year for the insanely hot Thai chilli too. But I have a tomato plant that refuses to die and still is attempting to put out flowers like what the hell bro. You can rest now
I do this every time it comes up too. Stock up on inconvenient stuff I know I don’t need immediately but might as well get while I have free shipping. Stuff like a big roll of tough double sided tape suitable for outdoor use or copper tape for snails.
I don’t like the texture… I just want biscuit. I’m currently digging dark chocolate Digestives.
None of these. Cream fillings are bullshit. Fight me
What do you typically have marmalade with, other than toast? Not having much of a sweet tooth, I can’t imagine how one gets through even a jar of marmalade in a reasonable time, let alone 6.
Looks like it’ll be foggy tomorrow morning so I expect it’ll be a bit damp to start but it should hopefully clear up in the morning… sun’s done for today by the looks of it so I dont expect much more drying this afternoon unfortunately.
Laundry all done and hanging up outside. Others have got laundry out as well so I’ve had to hang mine fairly close. If it doesn’t dry by 4pm, I’ll have to hope that it doesnt get too damp overnight and dries off fully by about 9am tomorrow.
Did the frustrating big-inertia job of wiping down all the surfaces in the bathroom, after the tile work done on Tuesday with no notice left a fine layer of dust on everything since I couldn’t move anything out. The chemical smell is almost completely gone now after 4 full days, got the balcony door and study room window open to air this place out a bit. That should close that particular chapter of temporary unpleasantness.
Next thing is vacuuming and then… final big inertia job, mopping the floors. I hate to confess how long it’s been, but in winter I really do let it go because I wear slippers indoors. The floor needs a mop to lift off the dust though. I’d like to freshen up the energy of this place before my RL cake day very soon. But I haaaate mopping.
It’s been a very slow start for me, if that makes you feel better! I have tons on next week so I knew I had to get some things done today or I’d be punishing my future self when she’s more tired and cranky.
The ceebs are raging today oh my god. I need to focus and just get this shit done but of course my stupid brain has to feel Emotions around sending people news they don’t want to hear.
