Runnin’ scared, I was there

Daily writing prompt
Describe one habit that brings you joy.

Habit? I don’t do anything every day that brings me joy. Well, drinking my smoothie every morning around 7AM on workdays. This reminds me that tomorrow I won’t be able to drink smoothie for a lame reason. My doctor wants me to get labs and fast. I don’t believe in fasting…because I can’t drink my smoothie that brings me freaking joy!!

I tried to get out of it. I delayed it. I wouldn’t care if I didn’t have to fast. No doctor has ever made me fast for labs. Whatever.

Sometimes doing yoga brings me joy. About 2 times a week. I try to do yoga 5 times a week. I usually get 4 times in every week. And I never really know when I will love the yoga. Sometimes I will pick a video that is too slow, and I then I end up wanting to work out or stretch.

I have been MIA. I haven’t been logging on here at all. I finally have some time. Kind of.

Going to leave this entry short. Something random from my private journal in July 2023.

I love certainty even though it doesn’t exist. When it comes to leaving my job, I have been waiting for certainty in the past, but I now know that it’s impossible. So now, I am waiting for 3 months’ savings until I leave. I’ve never had 3 months saving saved, so it does feel a bit impossible. I still feel stuck because I have NEVER done it in all of my working life.

This week…

Music of the week: Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, Sarah McLachlan, Joy Oladokun, Santana, Tori Kelly, Alessia Cara, City High

Podcasts of the week: True Crime BS, Truth and Justice, Human Design, The neurodivergent empath

Books of the week: I finished Wild at Home: How to style and care for beautiful plants by Hilton Carter. It’s from the library. I might buy this book used. I renewed it once. Love it.

Speaking of library books, I checked out about 10 books yesterday. eBooks are a lot easier to deal with. The books were so heavy. But physical books are best when it comes to interior decorating. I also checked out a few astrology books.

Have a nice week. I will try to go back to posting long-ish entries 2X a month. Going to relax and color for 20 minutes before bed.
