#but forward progress is good

Life update: Welcome to April, one of the Camp NaNoWriMo months. My writing goal (outside of rp threads here) is 25,000 words. I am currently sitting at just short of 4k. That's more than I've written in a single week probably since November. It feels good.
#mun things#I'm a little behind of where I want to be#but forward progress is good#I'm hoping to catch up by the time my package gets here Tuesday#then I can feel good about opening it#Going back to my roots and writing fanfiction#if anyone is interested in some hockey rpf I can give links to what I have up there#that's something I never thought I'd say before the last couple months#but here we are#sometimes life takes weird turns

can you imagine how strange siffrin must feel during his first birthday after the timeloop
#time marches on and you are changing and growing as a person and your family is here and you cant predict anything anymore#but it just feels so good to finally move forwards and progress even though its so scary#on a day meant to celebrate YOU#......... oh my god. is today even his real birthday or did he just choose it?#like. is that the first date they can remember? do they just FEEL like this day is important?#is it the day they met the party.........#echoed voice#isat spoilers#anyways i wanted to do art but i am out of energy im in another slump yayyyy

Been trying to get into the habit of saying, "It's not perfect, but it's better than it was" when I make small step improvements to things, rather than shaming myself for not having the energy to do everything all at once
#it's not perfect but it's better than it was#only had the energy to do the dishes and not scrub the counters? still better than nothing#could only clean one room before the pain got bad? that's still one more clean room#only took out the garbage but the recycling had to wait? hey at least the garbage is gone#small steps is still forward progress#trying to be gentler with myself#life of faye#positive#good thoughts

Loving seeing the Mal and MC relationship back on strong footing once more - the banter, the teasing, Mal being silly and the MC playfully chiding him, talking of adventures and adventuring together again. Their physical chemistry is incredible, they’re fun and sexy and care about each other so much -
- with Mal acknowledging how much they mean to him and wanting go be the best man for them
#i am obsessed with them#the diamond scene yesterday just had everything that i love about this relationship#i can talk about them forever#it’s just so good to see them progressing forward after a terrible reset#choices#playchoices#blades of light and shadow#mal volari#mal x mc

Since the dental Tribble has been on a strict no kibble, no crunchy, no chewing diet. (In a week or so she'll be allowed to use her teeth again a bit more, but no one wants to see a dog get dry socket.) Spouse feels that canned dog food (perpetually on hand to make into pupsickles) is not experienced as filling enough, and we do know that Tribble has done better on grain inclusive foods for the past decade, so... the rice cooker has been simmering with chicken stock rice too bulk out the canned food all week, and Matilda and Benton have both gotten a fair bit of overflow rice as a treat.
Unconnectedly, tonight happens to be my first night alone as the sole human all evening in quite a few months. Matilda has been doing her job of enforcing bed, of course, but I can also rely on other humans to help make routine happen if she's too tired to be on it.
If I was worried that Tilly hadn't worked out her evening routine enforcement functions before now, I shouldn't have been. I don't think I've ever seen a dog so excited to move the evening along towards the part where dinner and the good cookies are.
#Matilda#australian cattle dog#1 year#the things I'm trying to achieve feel so embarrassing sometimes#like the complex and flexible but not too flexible pressure to do things that are good for me at intervals in the evenings#and yes yes yes it's just that old insecurity again#I grew up literally being told that the audhd was just my special burden to overcome in secrecy: the internalized stuff is not surprising#but it also means I'm watching her cues fairly carefully#and she's now completely reliable to alarmed tasks and mostly reliable to totally uncued pesterbot reminders#it's probably time to work on other grounding behaviors and really practice DPT more but I'm just really admiring my dog's progress so far#she had her first dog reactivity 2: building basic social skills class Tuesday and barely reacted to the five other dogs in class at all#by which I mean that she stared and leaned once#answered her leave it#and relaxed enough into counterconditioning to be rolling all over the floor and grinning delighted at me by the end of class#I'm beginning to see the shape of her grown self coming out#and I think I see why people are willing to go back and keep raising puppies from this breed of incredibly awful adolescences#it's a good shape. strong. very prone to getting distorted over a few generations if a breeder isn't keeping an eye on it#I can see what she's going to be like when she's put on some more emotional development#and I'm really beginning to look forward to it

after a long day venting and getting things off my chest to my stepmom i am feeling sooooo much better and just wanna tell yall i love you all so much 。゚(゚´ω`゚)゚。 i appreciate and cherish every single one of you and the interactions we have no matter how often !!! i constantly feel like i’m at a bottomless pit in life with how i’m living right now but my progress is just slow and i’m making progress as a person that i hadn’t even noticed until my stepmom pointed it out ( ^∀^) i couldn’t have done it without you all so i’m gently kissing all your heads and offering some chocolate !!
#i should be more thankful bc even at this low of my life i’m still moving forward (≧∀≦)#i need to remember that healing & progress are not linear !! and i’m doing so good even if i’m moving slower c:#so eeek i appreciate you all !!! mwah mwah mwah !!!#( her lady has spoken )

Tragedy
(Exercise space only became unoccupied very late tonight and am eepy 😔)
#I technically could’ve done some lifting tonight but it’s 11 pm 😭#I haven’t had the space open for a few days again this week :(#which is okay!!! such is living!#I gotta say I am making progress and I can tell which is great#just in terms of like. for exampleeee 3 weeks ago doing 20 incline pushups per set was actually hell#now I’m pushing through and doing like 40-50 per set (depending on what else I’m doing)#I also know that’s not a lot but I’m basically coming from barely any consistent intense exercise for ages#to being able to regularly do this stuff#it feels good I’m lookin forward to tomorrow 💪#lynx talks#also yapping on here abt the workout really helps me too it gives my brain the imaginary pressure that it needs sometimes#sorry if it’s a lil annoying I know I’ve been yapping more the past couple months

It's okay to be messy. It's okay to make mistakes and bad choices. It's okay to be flawed and imperfect. It's okay to need time. It's okay to be sad or angry. It's okay to fail. It's okay to have needs. It's okay to feel deeply. It's okay to not have all the answers. It's okay to not know what's next. It's okay to figure it out as you go. It's okay to admit you were wrong, or that you don't know the answer. It's okay to cry. It's okay to not have it all together. It's okay to need help. It's okay to ask for help, and to graciously accept help. It's okay to not have it all figured out. It's okay to go back to the drawing board. It's okay to start over from scratch.
#it's okay to be messy#perfectionism#doing your best#making mistakes#you are not your mistakes#you are not your past#you are not a failure#you are good enough#self compassion#mental health#you are enough#you are worthy#moving forward#progress#growth#the messy middle#lifelong learning

i remember being a teenager in the mid-00s and reading good omens in a state of great delight and then getting really into all the wonderful ineffable husbands fanfiction, and genuinely, at that time, i never would have imagined that there would one day be a multi-season tv show of it (starring two of my favorite actors!), and i truly never in a million years would have dared to imagine that it would be telling a canonically romantic aziraphale/crowley love story, complete with kissing
like, that felt so far off the radar of possibility in the mid-2000s that i can't even express it to you. canonically romantic aziraphale/crowley lived on livejournal.com and that was it.
which is to say, just: wow!!!!!!!!! and yay!!!!!!! and what a difference a few decades make!!!!!!
#for some reason that just really hit me while i was doing the dishes just now#like!!!! damn!!!!!!!#it made me feel old#but also really happy to get to witness all the wonderful progress as our world keeps moving forward#dollsome's deep thoughts#good omens#good omens spoilers#good omens 2 spoilers#ineffable husbands#i get that we're at a point now where this pairing being canon onscreen doesn't even necessarily strike you as particularly progressive#but man. thinking back to when i first got into this story and this pairing ....... it's a lot!

Thought I would update:
#personal*#jess talks#I am by no means fully better#I will never be fully better in all honesty#BUT#the last few days have been such a turn around from the weeks before#/some positivity is heading my way and that’s good#I don’t want to jinx anything by talking about it#but things have semi improved#certain stress related subjects have got good ish conclusions#so the stress my whole family felt is lifting#again I’m still waiting for it to flip on its head again#but there’s progress being made I guess#I’ve also made a doctors appointment to talk about the numerous things wrong with me#so that’s eased me a little too#but yeh - a semi decent update#I personally am feeling better mentally#I feel more myself again#still have blips and weird spikes of anxiety#but I’m actually able to eat again without wanting to hurl#and I feel more comfortable doing things again#like I cleaned all the floors of my house yesterday…#not to mention lots of good long chill seshs/talks in the garden with both parents#I have a sleepover with my sister planned for tomorrow so I’m looking forward to that#just yeh#thought you guys deserved an update

it's just like. you have to wash clothes if they're uncomfortable too. (you don't have the energy/executive function/knowledge to find clothes that feel good on you. you're a 6'2" trans woman and you've gained 20+ lbs in the last 6 months and you don't even know where to start looking.)
you have to wash dishes even if you just had boxed mac 'n' cheese or takeout or scrambled eggs or cereal & milk off of them. (you don't have the energy/executive function to cook or plan meals that are more complicated than this. every time you try you end up in tears or out of breath or sweating or shaking with fatigue. the last time you tried to cook anything more complicated/lengthy than scrambled eggs you had to tag out halfway through and lie down on the couch for half an hour.)
#keeping it fun and funky fresh#personal#matty's mental health#i need a chronic illness tag#i'm. not doing good.#i had therapy yesterday & was talking to my friend max today and both of them (independently) were like#''what's something you're looking forward to'' and. there is nothing. i do not have a single thing i am looking forward to.#the nlrb dropped my charge. i can't make any fucking progress with my job hunt.#i literally only eat cereal+milk and yogurt+granola+frozen fruit and takeout#my doctor thinks i'm making up that i can't do any physical activity anymore#any time i turn off the ac even if it's 70° outside i have the most miserable sweaty day imaginable. or if i'm not directly in a fan.#weight cw
