I seem to be mostly over the friend break-up thing and slowly coming out of the depressive episode. Related? I dunno, maybe. I still don't have a plan of attack for deactivating the abandonment and judgments triggers that she hit me in.
In other news, I have now discovered the magnificent face Sage makes when I boop his whiskers. So grumpy! So cute!!
I signed up for a monthly perfume subscription service, and we will see if it is worth it in the coming months, or if I will just cancel it by Yule. I want to buy more perfume-making supplies, but that costs money that I don't have until the 1st. And, I mean, I recognize that that is an arbitrary limit that I put on myself. I got paid on Friday, and could just take the money and put it in my separate account. But like, then I will get sloppy and do it all the time, and I need to have a good handle on my spending habits or my money anxiety will eat me alive. I only seem to come with two settings about finances, and they are "rigid control" and "panic". Ugh. Brains are dumb. I need a cortical stack hard-drive that can be debugged. I want to make lots of Yule presents, but I have once again left it until too late to start with a lot of big projects unless I just do a bunch of small things. I might just make crochet snowflakes for the blood family. But I want to make a bunch of perfumes that remind me of different friends to give them.
If you live in North America and want a 2ml perfume sample, comment or message me with your top three favorite smells? I want to practice getting my creative mojo on before I go into full-on Christmas Crazies.
Lots of thinky going on today, thanks to having taken a sudafed for a headache I woke up with. Like for instance! Are your values what lead you to your purpose, or is it the reverse of that? I know those two are supposed to align somehow, but I'm wondering which directions the causal relationships are supposed to flow, here. Also: is my "do good things and be good at them" value just a people-pleasing reaction to lifelong criticisms from Mom and other neurotypical people that I have just internalized? And how would I even be able to tell? What would I do about it, if it is?
