some of the things?!
I'm hitting an upswing in my energy levels (fuck depression) which is great. I'm still on a "wtf is a sleep cycle??" though so... being awake and wanting to do, anything, while in a shared apartment at four am is ... not great.
But... I think it also has a bit to do with having the consequences of not doing some important things starting to show up. "heeeyyy... that thing you should have taken care of last month? two months ago? It's coming around to bite you in the ass right about now" This tends to be a bit of a motivator even if it leaves me feeling more drained than trying to rest and avoid it.
(This is personal, mostly bureaucratic stuff that I'm just not talking about here. f-locked or not)
Again, depression fuck right off.
But on a happier, tangential note. One of the things I've been doing in my S.A.D induced semi-hibernation is watching a lot of YouTube. And so its sparked an interest in doing some new things.
I collect potential hobbies like some people collect creepy dolls. My "ooo, shiny thing!!!" is why I chose the name Magpie.
* Have half an interest in cleaning and purging my apartment. (My apartment space is my bedroom, two cabinets in the kitchen and 1/4 of a refrigerator btw) Basic cleaning needs to be done whither I want to or not. Clearing out of unused stuff/ reorganizing space is a resource hog, but I know that I will gain back some of what I put into it. i.e no longer searching for or tripping over stuff.
* While I'm still somewhat interested in make-up, it's something that's mostly fallen by the wayside for right now. (might pick back up when I'm ready to be in public for more than grocery shopping
* Nail art is still interesting, but there's only so much time/effort I'm willing to put in when practically everything else will ruin said effort in about 2 seconds.
* Knitting is something I want to get back into. I have a shit-ton of yarn. I have a infant sized sweater on the needles for my teddy bear that I need to finish. The tiny sweater is a practice knit, I wanted to fuck up a bunch on something small rather than something me-sized.
* Sewing is a thing that I keep wanting to get more into than I am right now. a knitting podcaster on Youtube I've been watching has made some very cute dresses that go well with the sweaters she's also made. I've really liked the idea of having a hand made wardrobe (I'll get more into this at some other time)
* Baking. I'm gluten-intolerant, trying to figure out how to go from box-mix to scratch can be hard enough when dealing with wheat flour. Trying to reverse engineer a banana muffin that doesn't include the main ingredient??? I'm poor and tired of spending $6 on half a loaf of wonderbread.
and then there's stuff like photography, watercolor painting, a few different forms of dancing, a few more plants/ a tiny balcony garden...
Shit, basically I want to be a house-wife with only the fun bits/ a ridiculously well funded blogger or vlogger.
