Today's Log (2/4/25)
So, Imoblc isn't being celebrated a day (or two?) late. It's just gonna be celebrated all week, haha. Or however long I take reading this lil' workbook. XD And thinking I might try to make a simple honey cake to celebrate with it too.
Today was a good day. I let myself get a little bit of extra sleep in before date night with the BF. Lots of cuddles and
great pork. He says that he can't cook, he just throws things together. I told him that's
literally what cooking is, haha. He doesn't believe it because he uses a crockpot but I think it counts. And he should know it does because I always get seconds and become a glutton on date nights, haha. And really enjoying Star Trek: Discovery. We just started the last season. I thought he had watched it, but apparently he held off on the last season so we could watch it together.
Then when I got home, the mate was still awake. I saw him briefly before date night and he had gifted me a lil' snack pack from when he went grocery shopping to tide me over before dinner. I wasn't sure if he'd still be up or not, so I was happy that not only was he still awake, he was able to sneak in a couple episodes of Helck (though we left it on a cliff hanger, oh no!
) So glad I got some snuggle time with both of them today. <3
I also got a consultation with a counselor scheduled for Wednesday evening (well, my morning). I'm honestly not sure how it's gonna go. It's one of those I'm doing largely okay, and doing well with using tools and new skills. But it still feels rough. So, I dunno. But I'm gonna give it a try. (I've had short therapy sessions twice now.)
Off to bed in a bit. Debating about going to bed early since I've been a bit tired. But I don't want to try to oversleep or, worse, get up too early. Maybe just my normal time and take my coworker up on her offer to cover things while I get a nap in.
- Light Therapy - Forgot to mention, I was gifted a SAD light yesterday. My old one finally broke on me and I've been meaning to get one. So, at least through the winter half of the year, I'll be doing that. Started today with a 15 minute session.
- Daily Hug Challenge - Completed
- 1-Minute Meditation Challenge - Day 5 completed with one session of 10 minutes. Did about 3/4th the way through my day maybe? I'm beginning to realize how beneficial it is. I've been using it as both calming as well as self scanning (both physically and mentally) and now it's almost automatic to do that when I start meditating. That's almost a problem, haha (as I'd like to ease into it a bit if possible).
- Universal Warmup - Completed
- Foundation Program - Day 4 completed at level 2. I guess at this point, y'all can assume it's level 2 unless I say otherwise. Seems like a good amount for me right now. Though with the occasional balance workout, it felt pretty easy. XD
- Balance Workout - Skipped
- Better Sleep - Skipped
- Daily Gratitude Challenge - Day 22 completed
- I'm grateful for the sad light I got on Saturday. I think it'll help with being on night shift.
- I'm grateful I was able to make a consultation with a counselor. She sounds like it'll be a really good fit. I am a bit worried, since I'm not 100% sure what I'm wanting out of it. But I think the attempt will be good.
- I'm grateful I got to see both partners for a decent bit today. Usually for date nights with the BF, I don't really get to see the mate other than a bit of passing hello.
- Counting Victories Challenge - Day 22 completed
- Finally got the Christmas/Yule decorations taken down.
And they aren't actually put up yet (though I blame the fact that they go in the bedroom and the mate is sleeping). But they're taken down at least, so that counts, haha.
