how is it still only tuesday?!?
Aug. 3rd, 2021 09:40 pmSo, my stress coach** (I can't believe I just typed that, but I do have have this nice lady I talk to once a month or so) has encouraged me to keep a fun-do list.
Well.
She thought it could be good to have a list of things I find enjoyable so I can just pick one instead of obsessively playing Drop 7 for an hour after I close my work laptop; I (of course) turned it into a daily checklist in Habitica, but y'know, what else was I going to do?
So I'm checking off things like Read 30 min and Netflix 30 min and I don't know that I'm any less stressed, but I have managed to finally finish my rewatch of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and actually get through all of Loki, so... yay me?
Phryne and Jack and their found family continue to delight me even on the third or fourth time through (and this time, I really had to work for it b/c I could only get 5 episodes/month through the library.) I wish the movie had been better, but I will content myself with the lovely fic writers of the fandom.
( random thoughts on Loki )
Next on my list is S2 of The Mandalorian, so I return to my first fandom in my time of need. Who knew it was still going to be here to distract me 40+ years after it first enthralled me?
**Therapy has been suggested, but I know why I'm stressed and it's all out of my control, so talking to a therapist about CBT isn't really going to do much. With the coach, we just ID things that make the best use of free time for me and bang it into my head that sleep and nutrition and exercise are really not negotiable and leave it at that. (also, in case you haven't guessed, writing for fun is one of those things, so here I am.)
