Vacuumed, dusted, tidied, did laundry, and watered plants. Hair is washed and braided. The last delivery for awhile arrives today and then I can continue to hunker down through inauguration. And hopefully I won't need to stress over strange men entering my apartment in a pandemic for a very ill-timed and non-urgent fire inspection... I think my decision and compromises are reasonable, and I'll happily take it to court if they disagree.
A couple men are trying again to visit me in person and I did consider it, and still am, but am again leaning toward declining, even though they apparently already tested negative, and the other is willing to be tested. But my level of trust is at an all time low because the risk overweighs the benefits. What do I need a man for?
I shaved and dyed my hair, even though probably no one will see it. I did it for myself, to feel clean and put together. It helps my mood. I also used a face peel I hadn't used in a long time and now my face looks a little glowier and more alive than it has in months.
So far I'm not seeing any negative side effects of my return to daily edibles. I average one per day in evenings, nothing too crazy. I still meditate and do my yoga and all that other good stuff.
It's really hard to avoid checking instagram even though I know it's probably gonna be overwhelming from now till inauguration, at least. Remember when social media used to be fun? It's not all bad though. I follow some helpful accounts that are actually beneficial to my mental health, and there's enough memes around to laugh off some of the political stress.
It's almost over you guys!
