Gratitude thread!

Because of my work schedule over the weekend, I've been falling asleep before midnight. I hope now I can maintain this habit, seeing as I've gotten into a bit of a flow. Also about the wakeup time too.

My aunt got a little cavoodle puppy who is adorable.

Also grateful for deleting Tik Tok and Instagram. I'm calmer and not trying to fill a void anymore. I developed such an addiction to social media, to the point where I panicked and wondered what I would do instead. I've been cooking, going to the gym, listening to music and podcasts, watching longform stuff, writing, talking to friends, preparing for uni, and life feels a lot fuller.

I've been sleeping so well that I've gone from a Nervous Penguin to an Unconcerned Lion. Still forever tired, but that's okay.

That I don't have to do anything today so I can rest and get accustomed to 6am wake up.

I'm grateful for having jobs with sick leave!

And grateful for my energy plan that has significantly cheaper rates during the day so I don't feel so bad cranking up the heater while I feel sorry for myself. Also grateful that yesterday-me did some meal prepping and took an item out of the freezer. Though, none of it is soupy, so I think I'm going to end up making some soup with all this rainbow chard I've got.

Due to my early wake up yesterday I went to bed around 1030 and slept straight through 6 am. For someone who gets 6-6.5 hours a night the extra hour felt goooooood

I don't have anything urgent to do today. I can go about my day in a chilled out manner.
