Today I gotta make fodmap chicken stock and ketchup and then also a cheesecake that I'm kind of winging... Oh dear

Negotiated brunch with family tomorrow bc i'm doing dinner with friends from 4 but family have just messaged like "we'll start at 12"-.-

Trying to find a new baseline of ability/capacity without the day job taking up energy and oops I definitely overestimated and overdid it a bit the last few days #noregrets #someregrets

Going v well so far

Hell yes I am dooooone until the second week of Jan time to get piiiiiissed

It's kind of nice actually not having any like Urgent This Needs To Happen For My Life things. They worked out good but were so stressful

It'll be okay I'm just being dramatic. The last two new years were drastic sudden (it felt) positive changes but actually I planned for them and saw them coming and made it happen but this time I don't have anything planned so it just feels like. Surprise

Me: anxious about new years throwing everything in the air

What if I just nap on one of the couch bench things in the meeting room

There's no one else in the office today and we accidentally told everyone we were closed so I'm just sitting here watching x files

Oh I'm pretty sure I missed my meds in my bed routine last night bc I woke up at 5am with SO much energy

Oh wow an off handed thought led to some thinking that led to closure on something that has been fucking me up for like a year this feels. Holy shit

Radical new years resolution: continue having nice times with people

Gotta spend time with a bunch of White Radio Dudes tonight so pulling out the do not fuck with me look https://witches.town/media/b4q7PWDeg2tLvR4JLos

I shuffled up onto the bed and kahlo was like "oh... A tiny gap? It's mine!" https://witches.town/media/eJ8Gx4zP06PnWBn-9-E

I took her name when I changed mine & it's a thing I'm rly proud of despite the weird conflict it caused (she gave permission then changed her mind but it's okay now)

When I was born she flew to the UK to help mum and when she realised what was going on she helped 4mo old me get a passport and helped us flee back to Ōtautahi

She marched against the south Africa tour and against the Vietnam war and against nuclear American ships in nz waters and camped outside the one local abortion clinic to combat protesters

When mum was born she picked up nzsl so quick and so well she ended up interpreting on live international tv for the commonwealth games

Had to write 500 words on a family member for wānanga and now I'm all emotional about my grandmother
