Maybe too soon but some small moments
I know it's not over yet so maybe I'm just inviting it with this feeling, but here goes anyway.
This week has felt like the easiest since the pandemic sent us all home from work and has kept us inside for safety. I've talked to my dad, my brother called me on the phone. I've had a lovely Zoom bellydance watch party with my friends. I'm making plans with my best friend to finally get together and maybe spend a weekend in a lakeside cabin (safe and healthy obviously). I got my copy of Harrow the Ninth in the mail and started reading it. Even work has been pretty laid back this week. No super crazy late nights or days full of needless meetings. I've written on a long-term project for the first time in a long time.
Tonight, I treated myself to a little spa care, soaking my feet and reading a story and taking the time to wrap my hair in rollers which I haven't done in such a long time either.
I beat Uncharted 2 over last weekend and started the third game, since it's on the same PS4 Uncharted Remaster disc I have. I've enough time this week to play more of it as well, I think I'm nearing the end of the story in fact. I'm about 75% there.
I've also FINALLY been catching up on the Dimension 20 D&D Crown of Candy show. I'd watched the first episode back when it first aired, since I subscribe to the Dropout website. But I hadn't gone back to keep up as new episodes have aired. I put it on in the background while I work and it makes me laugh constantly, it's so creative and unique. I love it.
This weekend doesn't hold any specific plans, I don't go anywhere these days (like most people) so it's not that I would have much anyway. But I'm also looking forward to maybe putting the last of our books away from the move (just from upstairs to downstairs) since we finally retrieved the last two bookcases from my dad's garage. I'm not much for domestication and decoration, but as my therapist continues to remind me, it's nice for busy minds to have places for things. Maybe having all the books together will give me a better reading space so I can separate and set time aside to do that more often too.
Really this is just a good mood thread of happy things. I know things are still awful everywhere and the president of my country is a dumb child with the ability to enact dangerous and hateful policies. But I'm trying to find the lightness in my days and weeks and months at home. Since it's looking like we'll be here a lot longer than any of us anticipated.
I hope you all are finding some nuggets of joy as well. I'd love it if you'd share yours below, no matter how small or simple a thing. I want to read them all!

I need to get back on the ball with my skin care... my bad mood and rearranging the room kinda messed things up. I bought myself a few more things(for my birthday lol), and while I technically don't have all the stuff for the 10 step Korean skin care method, I do have almost all bases covered. I do feel like stuff gets a little repetitive, but I'd still like to get one of those essence things. and a couple more serums. maybe probably next month.
I just bought myself a game, Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. and a couple of other things. now I don't have a whole lotta money left, but I'm fine. bills are paid and as far as necessities go, I'm good. so there's really no problems. I'm working on finishing a couple of other games so I don't have to feel as bad for getting something new... :') my "in progress" list could stand to be shorter anyway.
and I'm gonna finally get my new glasses after several weeks of waiting! I'm a little anxious that something might still not be right but I'm more excited than anything. I've had a weird struggle with glasses. I have an astigmatism and my glasses are supposed to correct it. but with my old pair, I think the lenses were too small, because I chose small frames. so I chose big frames this time. I wish I'd had some better choices, but with my insurance, it just is what it is. I guess I'll get used to them eventually. overall it's still a happy thing, it's been a long wait.

Hmm, nuggets of joy... let's see... I am enjoying Season 4 of "Nailed It!" on Netflix, it's so nice to see people try their best and have permission to fail and create the most awful baking desasters and the response is "that looks terrible, I LOVE IT" with lots of humour.
Also, someone gave me a compliment on some smut I wrote ("panty-annihilating") which made not just my day but my whole weekend and I want to frame that comment and hang it on my wall :D
