Drifty
Being off work has been a good opportunity to just let my system flail around, and this week I let it do that. Sleeping a little later or earlier, having a lot of feelings, wanting to read or cook or sew, whatever, I've just been letting it happen. When I drift, I wind up doing some phone-scrolling but also things like mending/altering a small stack of clothes, and finding an old list of music recommendations and trying them out. You know, the not-terribly-high-value things that productivity experts always tell you not to bother with, but that still feel kind of good to have done. I still feel more inclined toward that sort of finishing-up thing than like starting new things, which I expect might change sometime but hasn't yet.
I feel physically pretty good now that last week's lady-bit issue is resolved, my mammogram came back fine and my eye exam did too. Should be done with medical stuff for a while, except oh wait, I need a flu shot and ye olde covid vaccine booster (scheduled for a week from Friday, now that everyone in MA over 18 is eligible). Sigh. All this and I'm pretty healthy... I guess I did stack up all my appointments on purpose.
For what it's worth I'm noticing a lot of gains in flexibility, now that I'm taking backbend classes again and not spending a lot of time in my desk chair. I've touched new records just this last week on my right splits and on my backbend (touching my head to both feet), both of which might be from happier hip flexors but also from reduced stress.
Thanksgiving is happening over at Helios's place (where this week I carried some bookshelves around and fixed a door, and my metamour stole my slippers by accident). We kinda feel we've swung as domestic as we want to, and plan to get away for more adventurous dates soon, but in the meantime I get cozy holidays and shan't complain a bit. I've been looking at pie crust ideas. Grocery shopping tomorrow morning, I think.
Nala died a year ago today, so that's a thing too. I wish she could have met my squirrel. I wish she could have lived forever in general.

So glad to read that you're healthy! Seriously. There's so much disease going around, and I almost can't take it anymore.
Yay for flexibility!
