“Something Good” Sunday
It’s difficult today to look back and find something good from this week. I’ve had some crazy fatigue this week and an all-around feeling of unmotivation. There are things that I want to do and yet, I haven’t even thought about doing them. I have a project where I want to reorganize my yarn stash and make it so that it’s easily accessible again. That’s a big undertaking, but it’s all about yarn and organization, two of my favorite things. But I haven’t even entertained the thought of starting it.
This feeling is not one of depression. Though yesterday I did have a moment where I felt like crying for no reason. This has been more of a very nonchalant, numb kind of feeling.
I think today might be the something good though. I’m not as tired, and I am somewhat looking forward to my laundry routine. Where I basically fold laundry while watching a movie I’ve seen a bunch of times. It’s my normal weekend routine, which I didn’t feel like engaging in yesterday. Laundry really needs to get done, or at least folded and put away so the laundry baskets in our dining room don’t get piled up and in our way.
Maybe I’ll put on “You’ve Got Mail”. I haven’t watched that movie in several months. It used to be my every Saturday movie. Then it became my anxiety movie. The one I would put on when my anxiety was bad. I don’t have anxiety today, but I think maybe the familiarity of watching it will help boost my mood.
Coming out of the other side of a weird feeling that lasted all week doesn’t have to be big and momentous. Sometimes even the littlest step in the right direction is all it takes.
Today my littlest step will be doing laundry. In between loads I’ll maybe do some more work on my book. I worked on it last night and simultaneously jotted down some ideas for future social media posts and things I can do for my book now before I get to the post-journal transcribing phase.
I usually hate doing laundry. It just never seems to end. However, today, even doing laundry is something good.
