I finished THREE books in one day!

Update on the "feeling better" thing: I still find myself wanting to cry and not knowing why, but I'm reading again! I read two more volumes of What Did You Eat Yesterday, and Drowned Country, the sequel to Silver in the Wood. Somehow I'm feeling a bit more grounded in myself, which isn't what I expected to happen after reading a story that's explicitly about being unmoored from yourself and time itself, but what can I say. (Henry Silver is an unrepentant little shit who never deals with any of the consequences of his actions, and I don't know what it says about me that I still like him.) What Did You Eat Yesterday is turning out to be more of a recipe book with a few pages of manga around it than I was expecting, but it's fine.

So... Yeah, I'm feeling better. I'm still in the process of reassembling my diary, so I don't have that as a throughline yet, but honestly being able to read again feels like fucking magic so I'll take it. The diary reassembly is going... Weirdly? It's hard to work out what I need when its main purpose is "Give me an indication that time is passing" and helping me to do things is secondary. Also, turns out that living in a time of global crisis exacerbates my problem with judging what I'll have the action points for, who knew? My current plan is making lists and trying to bodge together what is basically going to be two plans, one for if I have all of my action points and one for if I have none. Kinda like giving myself stretch goals for each day? Like, I'm going for "Here is the one (1) thing that I want to get done today, and if I do either of these other things before I fall into a video game hole I have done AMAZINGLY," so wish me luck overthrowing my productivity-appeased anxiety!
