D+something: Blending in
I lost track of the days. I won’t write every day anymore. I’m in a shape where I can comfortably leave the bed and spend my days on the couch or in front of the playstation.
The knee is recovering, not in pain. First physical therapy is on Monday morning.
The head is getting much better, reading about various mental disorders helped me a lot. I have common problems in my head that have solutions. Some of the problems are triggered by specific behaviour of other people that creates strong emotional reaction in me. Like when people lie to me. I can choose what I will do in these situations. Voicing that I don’t like it and walking away seems like the best one of them.
I decided to start an emotional journal. Whenever there is a sudden burst of emotions, I write it down. It forces me not to react right away, it allows me to observe and name the emotion. And maybe at the end of the day, reflect. Right now I am taking notes of both positive and negative. Let’s see how it goes. And whether this survives me meeting tens of people every day.
I cooked myself lunch, I took out the trash, I picked up some packages. I feel like I can do things on my own again.
I turned on the work phone. To update my calendar with one more week of OOO. Nothing seems to be on fire. I dropped it after an hour and forgot about it. I’ll check here and there to limit the shock when I fully return in January.
Stranger Things, Season 5, Volume 1 - OK, looks good. I don’t really care. The good people will win anyway.
Superman - That’s a very weird movie. It literally looks like a TV show, not a who-knows-how-many-hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars movie. The CGI is SO bad.
The Wedding People - This is sooo dark! The beginning is very slow, and sooo dark! I think it’s going to be really good in the second half.
