now playing: mogwai - ritchie sacramento i still struggle with letting go of the idea of productivity being tied to my own worth. i've been self-caring extremely hard, which has been helpful, but at times it takes up a lot of my energy and time in my day. trying to cut down on that, and i wound up taking my meds on an empty stomach which put me out of commission for a good part of today. at one point i wasn't sure whether or not i got food poisoning since i was in so much pain, but a nap greatly helped. this weekend i also did some cooking, and there is a certain level of joy i get from cooking a delicious dish. i reused the bone marrow from last week's pho to make taiwanese beef noodle soup and for a first try, it was decent. additionally, i made rice cakes with mom for new year. i haven't tried them yet, but the process of making them wasn't too bad. i've definitely become a better cook since the pandemic started, and i have to credit D for a lot of it. he really taught me how to cook with love, and also understanding how texture and technique can really bring your cooking game to the next level. i spent the last couple weeks buying lots of groceries as a form of retail therapy, and as a result, the cupboard and fridge are full with lots of odds and ends. i'm gonna see how long i can go without going grocery shopping.. i may or may not have purchased a few more plushies this week. it's been a plushie-hugging, music-as-therapy week for me. 3:22 p.m. - 2022-01-30 |
