talking to myself

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

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
