Back home in the states! Very happy to be home with my family. I’ve been cooking a lot, and trying to learn some basic baking! Mostly I’ve been lazing around, but I am trying to establish a routine for myself.

accomplished:

found new dresser on Facebook marketplace and bartered the price down to 40$

fixed up said dresser and moved it into my closet, all clothes moved

took apart an old shelf, stained it to match the darker wood furniture in my room, and rebuilt it so it’s a bit sturdier

began an altar to Hestia

started a Notion database of recipes and finally started actually logging all the recipes I have saved on Pinterest there

found the most incredible honey cookie recipe

applied to two on-campus jobs for next semester

started the application for a summer teaching course

Trying very hard to have routine that is positive and failing on most levels. Its a bit embarrassing but the list i wrote in the centre photo is genuinely a goal and is difficult for me to achieve. I think I often underestimate the way that depression effects me until its too late.

Anyway! Ive been cooking for myself and my family a lot — favorite so far is sous-vide turkey breasts, stir fried kale, and baked sweet potatoes. I find I cook with a LOT of olive oil / oil in general, and was feeling a bit bad about it. But then i remembered that joy is stored in good food, and good food is flavorful, hot, and often greasy. So i think i will continue making good food out of good ingredients, and if there is too much salt, oil, or sugar to be “healthy,” so be it.

For the moment, this will be less of a studyblr and more of a bookblr/langblr. I’m living with my grandmother and working, and I have essentially no academic obligations! I will probably post about books I’m reading and things I’m watching on here.

Finally finished my journal! It feels so good to be done with it, and have so many cards and notes in it :)

It was very nice to see the family cat (he’s the most handsome boy in the world, in my opinion), and I’ll miss him. However I’m ready to head out west and work. Specifically to earn money. Capitalism!
