hi WITty Ones!
I am doing an annoying combo of catastrophising and optimizing which has me stressing and then getting stuck. I need to turn off whatever part of my brain does that, and just carry on.
DONE: freaked out about what to put in which bins (packing up the holiday decor) freaked out about my clothes rack having stuff packed around it freaked out about my cat out in the rainstorm

Great job everyone! Sending hugs mylittlescholar! I have wasted many many hours today and I'm probably too tired to do anything else, but I would like to at least get up and brush and floss my teeth before falling asleep, something that I haven't managed to do in quite a long time. TO DO Gently get up out of bed and take a few dishes downstairs Spend 5 minutes tidying up the kitchen so that it's a little more useable tomorrow even if I can't wash any dishes Any food to put away? |
