22:15 | Mood: comfortable

It's been snowing throughout the UK apart from here somehow... I love the snow so much so I'm quite envious of all the snowwy pictures I've been seeing.

I got a lot of stuff done today.

• tidied the flat
• did the dishes
• cleaned my cat's litter tray
• vacuumed the floors
• did a load of laundry
• folded all the dry clothes
• did so. much. ironing
• wrote my dad & sister's birthday cards
• wrapped my sister's birthday gift
• did some more zine website work
• scheduled in a load of forum upgrade tasks in my calendar
• did my physio (well, most of it. physio is hard on a full stomach)

Sometimes I imagine myself being filmed when I do tasks. Like how those in the 'clean with me' community will film themselves cleaning, phone fixed to a tripod, edited to twice the speed. I dunno why but imagining that I'm making my own video is weirdly motivating. Maybe I should consider making a niche Instagram account to post my 'productive' days, maybe pass along the motivation to someone else.

Many of my hobbies and projects (especially Salvaged) are done with others in mind. I knit jumpers for friends' babies, I sew quilts for my friends, I share Photoshop resources I find on the internet.

Plant trees whose shade you'll never sit in.

hello january. we meet again.

i still long for it to be 2007... to be without worry, to be young, to hang out at the monument with my friends before iphones, playing senses fail through a sony ericcson speaker. smoking cigarrettes we stole from our parents. thanks 2007, for being there for me, and helping shape the person i am today, in 2026.

maybe i'll do a proper blog later. maybe not. idk.
