The week after my period is always a rough time. The exhaustion was PEAK, and trying to stay awake was the thing I remember most about last week. The timing was obviously fantastic /s because I just came out of creating two communities on pillowfort and a promise (to myself) that I would attempt to fix this aspect of my life (writing and engaging meaningfully with others) alas

Today's a new week though, so here's the plan:
  • I attempted to continue writing "We haunt the night" and ended up (somehow) with less words than what I started. I'm going to bash some words out this time, hopefully I'll have something new to work with
  • I finished reading Pride and Prejudice last week and was promptly lost in the rabbit hole of fanfiction. I'm picking up one of my other books this week - either A Very Nice Girl or Vicious, we'll see which grabs me first
  • I'm in the middle of planning a trip to Romania and the Netherlands, and I want to confirm a few details and budget stuff

Weekend retrospective:
  • I created yet another community on PillowFort - this time for fanfic. I figured since original fiction and fanfiction are two very different things, they should have their own dedicated spaces. I don't know how I'll manage them both since they both have theme days, but I've already gotten a head start and have posts for the next three weeks (ish)
  • It's me and the cats this week. They spent all day outside on Saturday night. Woke up on the morning of Sunday to find a couple of dead moths, and a grasshopper.
  • I wanted to finish my read of Pride & Prejudice over the weekend, but I got distracted by my phone and the horrors of infinite scroll. Curse you Instagram Algorithm.
Current goings-on:
  • Going to make time to finish Pride & Prejudice this week, I'm literally in the last stretch!
  • I'm going to prep as many theme days as I can for both communities while I have time
  • Have to order in groceries, I need food but I hate driving. Plus, I have a weird discoloration on my neck. I'd call it a rash but it doesn't ish, it just doesn't look fun and I'm already socially anxious as it is, yknow.
  • Been feeling more nauseous since finishing my period. Could be my hormones being hormones, or my ADHD medication. Either way, I would like to eat something without feeling like I'm going to vom

Things happening today, housekeeping:
  • I went on a girls' trip a week ago, and my husband cleaned the house. But we haven't done any cleaning since then, so I should probably sweep or something so I don't spend my Saturday cleaning instead
  • Plus, my in-laws are coming over in the afternoon. My husband always says they don't mind mess, but I do
  • Since deciding somewhat impulsively that I'll be moving from tumblr to pillowfort, I'll have to change the links on my stories, etc.
  • Have to create a proper post to share with the pdfs I've made available lol
  • Impulsively created an ichiruki community and need to actually post there too NEVERMIND deleted it because there was an ichiruki community already, even though it's still only me posting lol
I'm on day 4 of my period, and day 5 on both my antidepressant and my ADHD medication. While there are less side-effects to when I first went on the latter, being on my period is always a toss up over how my body will feel. Right now, it's mainly the feeling that my stomach is turning over. Not constantly. But when it does, ohhhh it feels like I'm either getting punched in the stomach or that I need to go to the bathroom immediately.

Update:
  • The house is swept
  • Created the ichiruki and winteriron masterposts, and even shared two of my favourite hannigram fics in the Hannigram community I found
  • I've added "No vacancy" to the list of completed pdfs
  • I've added my pillowfort link to the winteriron collection, and now just need to do the rest. Woo

My ADHD has me fixated on this at the moment, so I might as well take advantage and post while it's hitting the dopamine just right.

Some things happening today:
  • Signed into work at 5.30am which at least means I'll get to bugger off without guilt come 1pm
  • I made an oops yesterday by still linking my Tumblr profile to a good few of my stories. I still haven't decided if I'll still be using Tumblr considering how many times it implodes. But I've already paid the $5 for PillowFort and I might as well get my money's worth
  • Might actually finish editing "All we know" today and have the link posted
  • Catch up on my silly little shows. 9anime hated me last week, but at least I'll get to watch two episodes of The Apothecary Diaries instead of just the one. Haven't checked yet if Solo Levelling is back on, but I hope so
  • I'm having a pie for lunch today and I'm actually really excited about it

Update:
  • It's now 5.24pm and I'm still logged in. Fuck me.
  • Have decided I'm making the move from tumblr to pillowfort. It's a little dead fandom wise, but its also no pressure which I think I need
  • FINISHED "All we know", wow I forgot how much of an emotional rollarcoaster than story was to write. I started writing it in 2017, and it's still probably the closest thing I've written to my actual life.
  • Finished catching up on my silly little shows. The Apothecary Diaries continues to have me by the throat. Solo Levelling is back, and I'm so excited for the next episode
  • My pie was delicious. Today was a good day.
