Quick one.
One more paper to write and I'm done for the semester! (except for the in-person residency dec 6th-11th). It's due this Sunday, but I'm busy all weekend with other stuff, so I've basically got to finish it tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. I also basically have to pack tomorrow, for the same reasons.
Heading to Boston and the east coast for Thanksgiving.
Loving my cozy fireplace and using it lots. I no longer want to be in any other part of the house when it's cold out :D
Also enjoying my "legos for adults" sets that I've made with Suzannah. I should post some pictures of them, they're quite cute, and thematically relevant.
Once I'm done with school stuff, I've got to think about what I want to do with the rest of that time! Definitely some fun and some cozy time. But also I'd love to do some cleaning and organizing. And maybe some deeper reflecting, yearly review style. What are the goals that are really important to me? I'm getting more comfortable with my own finitude, and what that means is I have to be picky with what I put my time into. And there are some things (like being creative) that are definitely worth putting my time into, but that I haven't been putting my time into, because I've been thinking "I'll get to it later, after I get all this less important stuff out of the way."
But I now don't think that's how it works. There will always be less important stuff in the way, you just need to press on, regardless, and make time for those important things.
Also, somewhat unrelated: sleep. Going to bed early, waking up early. I love doing that, but I haven't been. I've been more rested, but I haven't been getting up early. Or going to bed early (not super late either, but not early.) That's been a thing for me for a long time. But I've always mishandled it, being either too lax, or too hard on myself. I need a synthesis, that is both gentle on myself, and rigorous.
OK, I'll stop for now, since I've got another one to write to catch up.
