Maybe too soon but some small moments

singedsunI 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!

New glasses are always exiting, I think! I hope you like your new ones once you get them.

Date: 2020-08-21 03:09 am (UTC)if you've ever heard of Harvest Moon, it's one of those games. the series had to be rebranded as Story of Seasons because the dev company, Marvelous, doesn't own the Harvest Moon name. it's a farming game. you get married, and there's other stuff to do besides just farming. it's a remake of Friends of Mineral Town, which was a GBA game.
I do like them, but at the same time, wish I had more interesting frames. ah well. it's ok.
