Right this second

Hey everybody I'm back! Missed you nice to see new people around here! My life has been such a big mess those last week, so I'm trying to slow down and take care of myself cause I was really one step away from a breakdown !

I barely read anymore since the new year started and it makes me really sad. I told myself that I just needed a break for a few weeks, because I had some tough months last year and I feel like I'm "burning out" in a lot of activities I used to enjoy. But it's been a while and now I feel like I lost a little piece of myself. I'm trying to motivate myself again with the Madmoizelle reading challenge but meh, I barely feel any excitement. And I have a shelf full of books waiting to be read, I can't just let them there waiting!

I'm watching a movie with a glass of wine in one hand and my cat sleeping on my lap (omg she's just too cute ). It just feels like a perfect piece of happiness.

@mt It's less perfect now that I need to pee but I don't want to move.

@Rosenrot_ I also know this moment when you love your cat too much and his/her pleasure becomes more important than yours
Mine weights 7 kilos. Sometimes I don't feel my feet because he sleeps on my legs for too long, but I won't make him move, he is so cute when he sleeps

I should go to bed

Hello !
This week is the end of winter ! Spring is coming
I want to go for a walk, juste looking if nature is awake, watching for butterflies and buds on the trees

@Croquemitaine maybe writing it would help? For me I feel like writing enables me to make space for my feelings and understand them better. or you could also talk to them directly about it

 

[Dancingouine]

@Croquemitaine that comic also yes that's for sure! There's really nothing wrong in accepting your feelings even if it might not be the most pleasant sometimes, but I think it's one of the most important steps if you want to be in tune with yourself

@Ignis Aurae yes it's so hard to leave the bed when I heard the rain outside... I am at work, I have nothing to do today. The computer is being replaced, and I am not already allowed to work in the labs...

@sunnyna The reason you never heard of "fatigue" is it doesn't have the same meaning as the French word "fatigue". They're actually false friends, although their meanings are similar! "Fatigue" in English describes a medical symptom. See also:
"What's the difference between tiredness and fatigue?
We all experience tiredness at times, which can be relieved by sleep and rest. Fatigue is when the tiredness is often overwhelming and isn't relieved by sleep and rest."
I don't know if it's entirely accurate to say "fatigue" can be caused by a cold, but it seems to me you used it right. Otherwise, you can always use "tiredness" or "exhaustion" (= the feeling of having all you energy drained by an activity, or well, a disease).
Sorry for the Ms. Know-It-All moment, I like words.



Anyhoooo I came here to say I really want to get into embroidering. I keep seeing some beautiful and funny artwork in feminist circles, and I've been collecting ideas for a while now, it's time to take that step. It would be perfect to add decoration to my home and pimp my clothing with witty phrases and funny drawings (I absolutely need (NEED) a UFO on my jean jacket). But I'm afraid all the projects that come to my mind are too complicated and I will fail miserably.

@sunnyna I just remembered, for anyone interested in expanding their vocabulary, I highly recommend subscribing to Merriam Webster's Word of The Day. And taking a look at their articles and videos. I absolutely love this dictionary, and they regularly make not-so-subtle comments about Trump, what's not to love about that?
