24/30 days of self care
Today I finished working on the first set of documents I photographed at the archives. With this I am more or less done with the reports of the interrogation of one of the three women accused of witchcraft I am working on. Since the majority of my work at the moment has been research based, I have this constant feeling pf not doing enough, because at the end of the day I mostly read stuff. So I decided to do a list of all the thesis related things I accomplished since exactly a month ago when I went to my first in person meeting with the professor who is helping me in my work. This process was so beneficial for my mental state at the moment, I realized how much I actually got done in a month, and I recommend this to anyone who is doing a similar work. I also practiced Irish on duolingo during my lunch break, and I took the afternoon off to catch up with a friend to get gelato together. Self care things I did:
Read first thing in the morning
Did some drawing and creative work in my new bullet journal
Created the productivity list of my last month of thesis work
Took the afternoon off

Day Twenty-Eight: What time do you usually go to bed? Do you have a bedtime or night routine? If so, share it with us! If not, what helps you get to sleep faster?
I don't really have a bedtime routine, I just brush my teeth, wash my face and try to read for more or less half an hour. I go to sleep quite early, I like to wake up early in the morning so by 22 I am in bed reading,more often than not even a bit earlier than that. To sleep faster, other than avoiding watching at screens for at least half an hour as I was mentioning, I normally get melatonin gummies. They have been very helpful in these past months. The thing is, although my sleep schedule is very regular, as soon as I am a bit more stressed and anxious than usual, sleep is the first thing that has consequences. I struggle falling asleep, I wake up multiple times, I have long periods of continuous nightmares. So I do everything in my power to help with sleep. Especially since as soon as I am slightly sleep deprived I become another person, I am much more easily annoyed and I just feel more tense and generally angry which I do not like at all.
it’s absolutely gorgeous outside - blue skies! sunshine! not a cloud to be seen! - but my desk is its own perfect brand of moody and marvelous while the sun shines on the opposite side of our little house
7.26.21 The Brooklyn Museum has a horse on a pedestal made of cork. It’s rider is absent because the statue celebrates the community instead of the individual. If you see that piece in person, tell me if the business card of a flower shop on Montague street is still there. I pinned it to the left side, and you should pin something there too.

I used to take it one day at a time now it has turned into one hour at a time. Life is so unpredictable at the moment. I want to run away somewhere and start all over again.
Also an old picture of a cat because it makes me happy.
