“What is it like being in your head?” - “It’s pretty great!” ~ Writer, background extra, currently in recovery. This is my personal tumblr blog of various things that I like.
It’s always “revenge won’t give you back what you lost” and “murder is wrong” and never how was the bloody violent revenge the bloody violent revenge looked fun was it fun
I just got back from seeing barbie and I can’t believe despite KNOWING going into it that it was a Greta Gerwig film and I’d seen Little Women 2019 and yet I STILL got caught off guard by the barbie film
Yes it’s stupidly stupidly silly and that is a good thing. But also it went places. And I should have realised it the moment I knew it was by Greta Gerwig I FEEL TRICKED I WAS EXPECTING JUST A SILLY SILLY ROMP AND NOW I’M GOING TO LIE IN BED THINKING ABOUT A BARBIE MOVIE.
Me every time I leave the house: Okay, but this time I haven’t REALLY left the house though, this time doesn’t count. Going outside like this doesn’t count. I need to focus on being able to SERIOUSLY go outside. This isn’t official enough.
-My orchid continues to grow. I think she’s now growing her fifth leaf since I started looking after her.
-Still very tired. I’m trying my best to pace myself, but it’s hard.
-I am back on iron pills again because my doctor wants my iron levels topped up some more, despite the blood tests coming back normal. There are other health things that I’m still waiting to here back from/sort out.
-My mental health is overall doing better than it ever was. But that time of the month keeps knocking the wind out of my sails still. I’m going to give it another month or so before booking another medication review, just to give it some more time.
-Disappointingly, I’m having to reorganize and re-budget my plans for getting a pet hamster. Inflation is a bitch, recovery is slow, and I am very poor. I’ve made some money by selling off some of my old belongings, but not nearly enough to get the funds that I was hoping for. As much as I would like to invest in some money towards getting rats, I might just have to focus on the hamster and not go overboard on the budget, and hope that I’m in a better financial situation for keeping rats in a few years time. Because my original plans are just…becoming increasingly expensive. I’ve got to just focus on the hamster. I’ve found a reasonably good quality hamster cage that I can get more cheaply than the modified rat cage and at about a third of the price. So I’m going to go with that.
-I’ve now got a book on self compassion that my therapist recommended I read. It’s much bigger than I thought it would be, so there’s no way I’ll read it all before the next session. But I’ll try reading some of it.
-I’m going to go see the barbie movie tomorrow!! - the first time I’ll have been to the cinema since before the pandemic started.
