december = the end
Time for some personal updates:
- I've been away from and/or quiet on social media – trying to weather the birdsite influx to mastodon and all that came with it (lots of muting, unfollowing, filtering etc). Still feels a bit overwhelming, might need to prune more. Also my phone crapped out and I didn't re-install instagram on the new one (can't be bothered with finding/resetting passwords). Basically only still stuck on youtube.
- RIP to the no/low-buy part of my depth year. It's time for getting gifts, setting up next year's planning etc. It's whatever at this point. Despite opening the door to buying, I'm not immediately digging into the things I've brought in. They're in their little corner waiting for when the brain needs new stimulation.
- Following the ban lift I – of course – did get and open a new tarot deck. I spent a lovely day yesterday learning tarot-relevant astrology basics (more than I ever managed towards my Thoth studies before). Invigorating!
- Speaking of planning – I want to keep playing with what I note down and how I do it. Turns out just “being present” more doesn't fix my memory shit. I've been really happy with the ideas harvesting I've been doing (one type of bullet I use), now I'm thinking it might help for memory-keeping/sense of time, if I make use of my “good thing” and “event” bullets to maybe make little weekly/monthly reviews of what's been happening? One place where I can see everything at a glance, and how it relates to each other?
Anyway, maybe I'll be back if I figure out what exactly I want to focus on next year/if there's a specific plan I want to follow etc. For now it's back to sending international packages, where the postage costs more than the contents. Mmm, holiday spirit.
