I've been trying to work out how to negotiate a mid-point between how I'm living at the moment, and how I'd like to be living.
I’d like to sew, and cook, and to enjoy it.
I’d like to have a house, with lots of wood, and to keep it clean.
I’d like to have animals to keep me company.
I’d like to do something creative every day.
I’d like to learn something every day.
I’d like to make something tangible every day.
I’d like to do something physical every day.
I’d like to have friends over.
I’d like to have a dressing table, and a nicely arranged wardrobe.
I like dresses, and gloves, and bags, and stockings, and heels.
I like feeling pretty some days.
Some days I don’t
It seems that I have do dedicate hours to different things in the day, but then that ruins the spontaneity I like to have.
I know I need to rearrange my living space. Hopefully even move house, I'd like to live with more people, and to cook for more people.
I think I've been able to decide I'll spend more time sewing, and less on the internet - that should satisfy the need to do something mindless to occupy myself, while also being productive.
I need to line up challenges for myself, but in a list form. And I know I get disenchanted with them, so I'm going to have to deal with deadlines differently. I'm not sure how yet, but I need a way to stay motivated enough to finish something all-at-once, or be able to deal with more than one project at a time, and finish earlier projects. I used to read three to five books at once, and wonder if projects can work the same way.
I have a fairly good uni timetable. I can study all of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday can be Appointment/ Project Day, I work on Sundays, and Saturday will hopefully be a 'day off'. So busy, but just for 11 weeks now. I expect I'll be able to go for a 30m walk each of these days too, except perhaps for Sunday.
I can hopefully learn through studying.
Things I need to do *now* : Scholarship form; disability form/registration; book to see a social worker about Youth Allowance.
I hate the DLU's form. I can choose "permanent" or "temporary" (last year there was an "ongoing" option too). My disability is (hopefully) neither. I can't face putting it down as "permanent", but with "temporary" I need to pick a date until which I will be disabled. 16th September, 2022?
