yuuago+ Work has been super busy lately. And also there were quite a few days where I had to do everything by myself because my coworker was absent. It's not a big deal but I sure do feel Tired (TM). On the upside, my boss seems happy with my performance. We're heading toward my 1-year anniversary at my job, so it's good to know that she thinks I'm doing well.
+ Note To Self: Make a post about books when you have a moment. Because I do have some things to say about books. (Stuff read recently + library's upcoming challenge)
+ Went to a free yoga class yesterday. It was at a studio I've heard good things about, and was organized through our local pride org. It was quite nice! Very good facilities actually, and the instructor was great. I'm glad I went! Much less intense than what I would usually do at home, but giving it some thought, a gentle workout was probably what I needed after doing judo class that morning. Will have to see if I can shuffle the schedule to find a good time to try one of their other classes, because while I can do it at home as time allows, I think it might also be beneficial to me to do some in-person guided stuff.
+ I think I've been overscheduling myself again. I'm looking at my calendar and there are so many things on it, and they are all things that I want to do and am excited about, but at the same time I'm like "Nooooo :c". Over the next month I'm going to a lecture at the library, a pride coffee meetup, a different pride meetup, a pride craft session, a pride potluck, AND I'll be going to Edmonton for several days as well and doing a whole bunch of things there (including going to 2 concerts and 1 wine festival). ...Plus judo three times per week. I, uh, I think I'll need to cut back once all these events are finished. It's just kind of difficult to find a balance between "all these fun things are happening" and "I want to get out and Do Things More and exist in the community" and "I also need to rest and relax occasionally".
+ In light of the above, it's like, well shit. No wonder I haven't been writing much this year. I've been doing other stuff! (What a revelation.)

insomniatic. Some autumn stuff, some spooky stuff, some animals, some general stock. I don't know if I'll use any of these myself but I thought they were quite nice and wanted to share.

Date: 2025-10-27 04:05 pm (UTC)Ahhh the overscheduling issue is so real. It's a fine line between "participating in society is fun" and "there's way too much to do." Hope you have fun at Edmonton!
