A little thing. I had a rest day today. Read my book. Watched some old tv. Felt sad but managed to get myself out for a walk. I am so terrified of slipping back into depression I struggle to rest. But I stopped and looked at my to-do list I made for the weekend and I did it all. And I rested.

Just wanted to write that down so I remember it’s ok

I find it really relaxing anytime I can force myself to pause and read. Hope your book is good and the walk was peaceful

Yes! Speaking from experience, not giving yourself a rest day can exacerbate depression.

Stumbled upon an early Dia Los Muertos thing in the garden of the Mexican Embassy here last night, which was open to the public. Very sweet & uplifting. May have to swing by again today as it is probably running all weekend.

Then met up with an ex to see about obtaining a exhibition space for a local arts charity, and so far it looks like that’ll pan out well.

Other than that, general chaos surrounding potential romantic relationships. Only option is to be very open with all concerned, but there’s still a lot of scope for messiness.

Party tonight… has been a while since I’ve done that!

It’s such a sad state of affairs. I’ve heard the term culture war applied to our political parties and that feels accurate.

Hearing that it’s causing someone to fear for the safety of their loved ones is distressing. Though, sadly, not surprising.

Hoping for the best for you and yours, despite our trajectory.

Was okay-ish.

OCD and other issues have decided to make things complicated.

I think I’ll play a few games or watch some TV or read a comic or something to keep myself a little sane. Dig into something that can occupy my time.

It’s been a long week. Quarterly reporting time so I haven’t really stopped. It’s been good though, very productive. I went to a show last night which was great fun, just what I needed.

Also finally found a form of fibre craft that I can do- loom knitting. Makes such a difference to not have to rely on hand eye coordination, turns out mine is worse than I thought! So looks like the baby hat will be ready for my niece after all.
