So you’re saying the recipe doesn’t need all the bottle of red wine I’ve just opened?

Hmm, what is there to be done?

Something I've learned recently through therapy and just generally trying to be a better person: self care and self love aren't always what you think. Self care can be a bubble bath or a bowl of ice cream and a movie you like, but it can also be deep-cleaning your depression nest. Self love can be accepting yourself as you are, but it can also be confronting an ugly, uncomfortable truth about yourself and taking steps to change it.

Sometimes self care is cleaning a tiny corner of your kitchen at 2am knowing you have so much more to do but being happy with the tiny victory of just doing something.

Sometimes self love is going to therapy on your birthday and showing your therapist photographic evidence of the mess you've let accumulate in your house over the past three years that you've never shown anyone else because you need someone to hold you accountable and also share in your victory as you fight through it with garbage bags and a dust rag in hand.

Give yourself grace. Give yourself a break. And then get back to work. That's what I'm telling myself, because I know that what's waiting for me on the other side of this is a much more relaxed, happier me. I love myself so I'm pushing myself because I know I'm stronger than I've allowed myself to be. I love myself so I'm working the problem.

Tl; dr: I might not be around much this week because I'm cleaning my depression nest. Don't worry, I'm not in crisis. This is part of my mental health treatment that is absolutely necessary and I'm very ready for it. Sims will have to take the back-burner for a few days. Love y'all!

Well they made it official! First couple episodes will air on CBS, then it's moving to paramount plus. Those not familiar with paramount, I feel this will be a good thing. They're planning big budget, "movie style" shows for the network. I watch Yellowstone on paramount+ and have zero complaints. Especially with the amount of F bombs they're allowed to drop. 🤷‍♀️🤣

To be honest, I'm just happy it got renewed. I'm keeping positive on this move.

That moment when you finally have a breakthrough on a plot point that’s been tangling you up for days...
