if all you can do is a half-assed job, then half-ass it.

if all you can do is part, or get started, then do that, go as far as you can.

it’s okay. do what you can, give what you’ve got. if you can only clean half the mirror, or the bathroom sink but not get to the toilet, or only vacuum one room, then okay. you did something. and that means something was accomplished.

fuck the yoda wisdom of this shitty world.

try.

tried this with homework and found out that what i considered a half-ass effort was usually worth 80-90% of the points

half-ass evereything, you’ll get further than you think

you aren’t a burden for having bad days. you aren’t a failure for having bad days. you aren’t a a bad person for having bad days.

I added a little blue to the pom, just to break up the mono. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKh8EQKnDB6/?igshid=dukmwna1ne8l

Perhaps this ramen and veggie cake will help me feel better. Can't hurt anyway. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKC5Ic1pzjh/?igshid=1gn8w542mp5mu

It's been a very long, very difficult couple of days for me, for multiple reasons. Had to go to the dentist today. Nothing major, just a little polishing. The hygienist did an x-ray, and when the lead vest was removed, I felt the loss. I usually sleep with a weighted blanket, and this served as a replacement, to calm me, while I was in the chair. When I asked for it back, I told the hygienist it helped to calm me like my weighted blanket did. After she gave it back, I started crying yet again. Now that my visit is over, I'm in the waiting room, trying to not silently ugly cry. I'm not good today. Life events and people's actions have stolen my energy, pulled from me more tears in this one day than I think I've cried in the last 6 months put together, and all I want to do is curl up into a ball under said weighted blanket and sleep for a week. I hate days like this. I know we all have them. I know that if I wake up tomorrow, it can be different. But today is so hard. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKCtSkBJrzj/?igshid=6jp37at7f65t

I had forgotten how much I absolutely LOVE to knit!!! I go through periods of time when I just kind of don't do it everyday. Then I'll pick it back up again for a while. I'm back, baby! https://www.instagram.com/p/CKADpEwps1c/?igshid=vc7xtoefj8kn

having one of those executive function days where everything is too many steps

[crafty-butch]

by which i mean, like, here's how my brain parses the steps in making coffee

good day:

make coffee

regular day:

put water in coffee maker

put coffee in coffee maker

turn on coffee maker

bad day:

take pot from coffee maker

turn on sink

fill up coffee pot

turn off sink

pour water into coffee maker

put coffee pot in coffee maker

open cupboard

get coffee filter from cupboard

get coffee beans from cupboard

put filter in coffee pot

measure coffee

pour coffee into filter

close coffee maker

turn coffee maker on

anyway this is a "14 steps to make coffee" kind of day

[kieraelieson]

This is actually a really good way of explaining this

[ruffboi-mags]

and none of these lists include the process of POURING the coffee and adding anything you take it with, which on a regular day is a step and on a bad day can be like 8 or 10 steps on its own.

Son helped me finish a 100 piece puzzle on this new years day. Look at how big his hands are! :] He's really growing up. This is about the only size puzzle I can do right now. Doesn't take up too much space, and it's quick enough that our lovely mutt doesn't get a chance to steal parts and chew them to scraps. I supremely love puzzles, cats, and yarn, so it's perfect! I hope you all get a chance to do something today that brings calm and joy to your hearts. #fun #joyful #newyear2021 #togetheractivity #puzzle #yarn #cat https://www.instagram.com/p/CJhMEEgp1NS/?igshid=nwv4bmo2idqt

Every year we get a kit, and we exi each get 4 cookies to decorate with the supplied icing and candies. These are mine this year. Not so nice. But they'll taste good anyway. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJP9RftpDc8/?igshid=5xriw1cy0vps
