I just cleaned the shelf above my desk! Which is very nice, and now I just need to shove some money into my "storage solutions" fund so I can buy some decent boxes next month.

I think the next job is to clean out my rubbish bins.

I've still got a whole load of stuff in carrier bags (and black sacks) - some of which need to go straight up to the attic, others of which still need to be sorted through and culled, etc. But I'm slowly starting to get better control over my belongings, which is quite nice.

Planning is a bit difficult, or so it seems to me, but I'm working on it one step at a time. And I'm actually getting washing done regularly which is really nice for my mental state, it turns out.

So, yes. Slow progress. But progress!

I am now permitting myself a Farscape while I do other grooming-related things.

After that, I'm going to edit this post to figure out the next lot of to-dos.

I feel slightly less unbelievably doom-laden after near twelve hours' sleep. I'd still like to get some room-tidying done, though. This room is a horrifying mess, and I'd like to make some improvements.

At least in theory, a bit of trance music should make this slightly easier. I notice that the brainhack is slightly less effective when I'm playing over speaker, but I think it should still be there.

Might be worth making a plan and having some accountability here.

I'm baking bread and doing laundry.

I have an email to send, a cover letter to write and a CV to tailor, and an interview to prepare for (it's for a voluntary post, but that's okay). All of that is deadlined for Monday, so it's today or tomorrow.

I've also got an ongoing knitting project - no deadline, but "watching TV and knitting" is my go-to relaxation activity. Noticing those depression warning signs means I'm trying to allow myself lots of relaxation time, in the hopes of preventing myself going totally to pieces before I can get more drugs on Tuesday.

And there is stuff to be done to stop the entropy in my room. Five minutes of picking-up and putting-things-where-they-live will totally make my bedroom back into a haven.

So I am working hard on the self-care thing, while also trying to keep an eye on the various balls I have in the air.

I also still want to do writing but I'm totally floundering. Thank you to everyone who gave me links for prompting communities - I have lots of stuff to play with now! But something is still missing, I just wish I knew what.

Grr, this whole thing of having to figure out what you need before you ask for it. It's frustrating!

Sad.

Feeling kind of sad tonight. But I am sort of... noticing it and letting it be there. And I think that's sort of good.

In better news: I did some good stuff today. Made job-hunt progress, worked on my ebook, and finished knitting the hat I've been working on (and darned in the ends). I shall probably do the pressing and making-up at the weekend, and then: new shiny hat for me!

Wondering about picking up the writing again after a couple of weeks' break. I miss it, but for various reasons the Inception epic is well and truly stalled at the moment. I don't want to give up on it permanently but I think I need something different to work on for now.

There was also piano tonight. Five minutes, but that was better than nothing.

To be done tonight - I want to find my hairdryer (I've been thinking about this for days and haven't got round to it!) and work on a bedtime routine of some kind. I'm pretty sure that would be good for me.

And now, dear Journalling Services, I am going to turn off the internet for the evening.

Good night!
