It's so motivating to get to increase the weights on my weight tracking sheet. I am so proud of myself for continuing to work out and follow a program despite how bad my depressive episodes have been.

It was so hard to start because progress is slow. You won't notice progress right away. It feels like "what's the point" for one day, but the days add up.

Part of what helps me push is I tell myself the time will pass anyways, and a month from now I'll see a difference. And I am! And it is so worth the reward.

This isn't exclusive to work outs though. But to a lot of different goals! The progress is small, and you might not notice day to day. But one day you'll look back and see how far you've come and please trust me that feeling is so amazing. I've felt it both for this, and for my overall recovery journey.

It's crazy how the incest stuff negates any support system Cathy has. like technically she has someone offering her an out from her abusive husband but choosing that also means choosing this other terrible thing. like. she's trying to get as far away from the past abuse as she can (while still holding onto so much anger) but she's escaping into new abuse (connected to holding onto anger???) and trusting. deciding. believing that it will aid her in achieving her goals, and then she can go from there. this belief of indestructibility bc what does she have if not that??? how could she stand to keep going while stuck between these options if she didn't separate herself entirely from them. the only people offering her escapes are just asking if she'd please come get abused by them instead of the current guy and every option is still better than how she was raised

im out rn and taylor swift's antihero is playing and one of the lyrics is genuinely "ill stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror" which is incredible since she seems incapable of self reflection

Malyshka is such a sweet, loyal, well behaved dog. I'm honestly really proud of raising her, considering the difficulty of training her breed(s)

Great Pyrenees are stubborn, independent, get bored easily, and are not food motivated. Anatolian Shepherds are possessive and highly protective, so they need to be excessively socialized to avoid aggression towards strangers/other dogs

Here's my hot take of the day: people are wayyy too harsh on Nate + Andy's friends.

The worst thing they did, which I'll never excuse them for, is throw Andy's phone around and make fun of how desperate she was to answer it. That was a jerk move.

HOWEVER people act like they constantly did this, which isn't true! They did it once, and never again.

Yeah, they were upset that she couldn't make it to Nate's birthday. You know why? Because they're adults with very different jobs, and all my fellow adults out there can attest how difficult it is to find free time to meet up with a bunch of friends. They planned that in advance, got a reservation, etc. So yeah, they were disappointed that she didn't show. I would be too!

But they didn't make her feel bad about it beyond that disappointment on the phone. They went on being friends, being warm and friendly with her, etc. Even Nate didn't make a fuss over her missing his birthday, because he knew it was for her job! People say he was petulant about it, but uh...no, he wasn't. He was disappointed she couldn't make it, but he clearly understood, even complimenting how she looked.

Lilly finally ends her friendship with Andy because she sees Andy happily flirting with Christian at the gallery exhibition. While Andy's still in a relationship with Nate. Yeah, I'd be pissed too if I saw my friend flirting with another guy while still in a relationship! It shows how Andy's letting the job get to her head and change her—she's emotionally cheating on Nate! Even if Nate sucked (which he doesn't), two wrongs don't make a right.

Speaking of Nate...so here's the thing about him, right: he is supportive of her, by and large. She starts off the job complaining, spends a lot of time doing that...but he supports her goal to stick it out for a year and then move into journalism.

The only times he raises misgivings are:

When he sees she hasn't quit after the manuscript incident. Remember that this is the same day she called him and was talking about how she's going to quit and how it's for the best, etc. She sounded happier than ever on the phone, too. So...yeah, as her partner, he's excited for her to quit, to put herself first (remember, they've been living together. He knows the crazy unhealthy hours she's had to work. Especially since her dad knew and brought up these concerns, Nate probably has too). And he's disappointed to see she didn't quit after all, and is even working on the twins' science project late at night. She's still sacrificing her wellbeing for this job, that's a valid thing to be concerned about. Him saying "I liked the old clothes" wasn't about the clothes—it was about Andy. He missed the old Andy, who didn't wear herself out for a job that didn't seem to care about her

When he finds out Andy's going to Paris, even though that was apparently Emily's thing, and hasn't told him. It's been a while since she found out (a few days maybe?), and you'd think she would confide something that serious in him, especially since this is coming from someone who, until recently, has only ever complained to him about Runway. Yes, we know Andy didn't confide in him because she's already having a crisis of conscience as it is, but he doesn't know that, because she won't communicate. And beyond that, she's not taking responsibility for her choice to stay in this job despite what it's demanding of her emotionally, mentally, and even it seems morally—she was backed into a corner by Miranda, sure, but she could've chosen to quit Runway and go work at Auto Universe, her backup option. She chose not to. That was an active choice she made, and Nate's right, she has to own that choice. She can express regret for it, but she has to own it. She's an adult, her choices are her choices.

Anyway. I just figured I'd make this since I rewatched recently and realized that the friends and Nate aren't actually as bad as other fans of this movie make them sound. I used to think they sucked too, but...no, not really. We just think so because we know way more about Andy's situation than they do, but the fact is, they weren't so horrible given what little they knew about what was going on.

Voyager insisting that Tuvok and Janeway never go into each others quarters - meanwhile I (the arbiter of truth) know for a fact that they are always in each others rooms, occasionally wrapped up in the same blanket, sometimes falling asleep in the same bed etc.
