Adulting and relaxing today

Having a laid back day to balance being an adult and relaxing is an absolute ideal situation. This is not always an option, but I’m trying to take advantage of it every time it arises. I’ve also realised recently how much better my work ethic has been after the six therapy sessions I did in the winter - I’m more aware of my physical needs, I try to label my feelings, and accept that some days… work just ain’t it.

I started the day with very low energy, kinda sleepy, so after breakfast I decided to read for a while. Then I had a little energy boost, so I planted some mint-puppies, potted a rosemary plant (longer story that I’ll share whenever it becomes a success or a failure), and pruned my lavender. My energy levels were low again, so I sat down to read again. However, J decided to make coffee so I had a cup too which made me feel like a Responsible Adult again so… I purchased event insurance for Arts in the Streets and wrote the risk assessment. I also cleaned the kitchen and washed some dishes afterwards. This was most of my energy for today, so I decided to go to TikTok for a bit, where the algorithm decided to show me videos of plants and books - perfect! And now I’m writing this.
