- Last night I was a little hyped-up trying to go to sleep. Lately I've been trying to sit back and let the different parts of my brain handle whatever comes up with as little judgment as possible. Which isn't always possible. But. One of the stopping places I came to last night before falling asleep (and getting interrupted three times by sweet L checking on me and keeping me up to speed on her various nightly activities) was that the work for me is in acceptance, repair, and maintaining connection without judgment - as long as we're considering safe situations and positive intent.
- That being said, it's hard. I am, like, so so so good at leaving. That's its own skill. But it's not the one life calls for most often.
- That being said, sometimes it is.
- New semester starts on Monday. I didn't read all the books I wanted to, my house isn't as clean as I'd like, and a few dates and responsibilities aren't as hammered-out as I should have gotten them. But overall I feel pretty happy and relaxed. And things with the boys went better than they did in the summer.
- Five days into 2024 and no alcohol. I haven't really been drawn to it. So far so good. 360 to go? Or maybe more like: take care of today and let tomorrow take care of itself.
- I watched this documentary on Netflix (along with the rest of America) called You Are What You Eat that was about plant-based diet and twins and an eight-week experiment and the most compelling bit for me was them going on about visceral fat being significantly reduced by veganism. Maybe I'll try to go vegan-ish starting in February. Or maybe I'll just stick with the one thing because I'll be so fucking stressed-out. Probably that one.
