diary (feb. 2023)


feb. 27,2023


Another week has passed. I'm in a better headspace than earlier this month, but I've got an overall gloom to me. This past Saturday Sh. and I went to the Field Museum to see the death exhibit which was cool. Everything was very carefully worded. I'm going to Champaign on Wednesday to move my stuff that is at a friend's house to a storage unit, and then travel to Florida on Friday. Busy week ahead.

On Saturday Sh. and I watched an author talk over Zoom and then went to a couple of bookstores (Myopic Books and Quimby's). Got some zines at Quimby's before we got dinner and then saw "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" in theaters. I was very pleasantly surprised by how good it was.


Yesterday was quite chill, spent most of my time watching anime. Had our first Mintrose DnD session in over a month so that was fun! I was exhausted by the end, but still great.

Today Sh. worked from home. I went on a walk, wrote down my dnd notes, played a great session with the Monday crew, and organized my plans for the next week.

I got a bánh mì for lunch yesterday and walked around the neighborhood while eating it. It was really good, lemongrass chicken. I ended up at the library and read a manga before heading back to the apartment. Sh. and I watched YouTube videos and chatted and I was laughing so much that my body hurt by the end of the night. It was a great time!

I can't wait to talk to a therapist about this time in my life.

I'm revisiting "Curiously Crooked", my senior seminar project from college.

Things have gotten slightly better but I still don't really have a plan. It feels like I'm barreling toward the inevitable decision of moving back in with my parents for a few months which wouldn't be terrible but it's also not ideal. I don't have a lot of options and none of them are really what I want. I do have an interview on Wednesday which I hope goes well.


Been quite productive today, but I still have some things I want to get done before Sh. gets home. We're planning on watching "Everything Everywhere All at Once" since she hasn't seen it and wants to watch some of the nominated movies before the Oscars, which is why we saw "The Whale" yesterday. It was terrible. So fatphobic and incredibly in bad taste. Sh. and I spent the rest of our night watching YouTube videos trying to not think about it.

Still not doing great. I have a job interview for later this month. I feel extremely lost about what I want from life. I'm playing a lot of BOTW.

Depression fog has been bad the past few days. I started to feel a little better yesterday evening after getting some chores done.
