What have you accomplished today or recently?

I did a bit of writing and a lot of cleaning.

So far my week started well

My apartment is clean! A person has been coming to help me three times a week, for two hours each time. She helped me get the place clean and also maintain it after. It's so nice to have a clean space!

Set up a new test board for a planned PHP upgrade .

I toke a few badas* jacket selfies of myself a short while ago. Felt good.

I lowered my blood sugar (A1C) from 6.3 to 5.7. And I've been losing some weight too.

I seem to be better at just enjoying being creative today in general and I am glad I am trying to practice gratitude and write it down more again

Getting better about not overeating, and losing weight because of it. Limiting my sugar to once a week (and I will eliminate it entirely again if I need to). Eating when I'm hungry and/or having a blood sugar drop, NOT because I'm bored.

I have been very optimistic and low anxiety today I am really proud of myself! Also, right now, listening to a Pokémon masters soundtrack before bed xD sometimes I really miss hyper focusing on Pokémon this year, so I hope I have dreams about the series again at some point. Maybe ones with 2004 involved too ……but; maybe not ones about cringier Pokémon years xD; although I guess if those happen I will just flow with it.

I did a bit of writing recently, and I decided not to scrap it. I've also been doing well with keeping the apartment clean.

I've decided to step back from sugar again, because I felt like even once a week was getting to be too much. It's not a big loss. Sugar isn't all that great anyway. xD

I seem to have less and less meltdowns as time progresses and more and more faith in my irl friendships now

Remembering simba is also helpful too

Finally doing some cleaning. Getting over the sickness I had. Finishing the first chapter of my memoir.

And making Renton happy.

Set up a new chess opening repertoire to learn .

Cleaning the kitchen, doing dishes, making dinner (I made chicken tacos yesterday! ), and spending time with Renton.

Started Salem's Lot by Stephen King last night
