Days without turning off site blockers: 11 I saw a pair of swans today. Almost missed them actually, they blended so well into the snowy field.
Days without turning off site blockers: 9 Finally well enough to get back to logging. Illness + no phone to self medicate + isolation = disaster. I realised that I am depressed & burnt out, so I went and got some (free) help.
I spent last night until daybreak whimpering about everything from the state of the world to the bruised part of my back from coughing (I'm sick) to how ugly I am. I told my family for the hundreth time that I'm not doing well. This...
Days without turning off site blockers: 5 Man (still) down! Nothing of note has happened, I've been letting my mind wander all day so here's a list of my favourite professors: PhD student who is either constantly sleep deprived or high...
Days without turning off site blockers: 4 Day 10 already! ... And I'm coming down with something. I don't know how bad it will be, but hopefully not bad enough that I won't be able to log. I've just been puttering along and listening to...

Days without turning off site blockers: 0 I'm in a slump. Today was the first 'official' day of my break and I spent most of it doing some lousy cleaning and crocheting (I finished one of my mitts!). I'm starting to think this is an...
Days without turning off site blockers: 2 Trying to get used to being bored. It is harder than it sounds! Someone gifted me some navy yarn (my favourite color), so I'm using to make mitts.
I hate going to church. My main forms of protest are oversleeping (works 80% of the time), taking absurdly long to do my makeup & hair and refusing to sing. I'm not a part of a "fire and brimstone" denomination. I don't even think I...
Days without turning off site blockers: 1 Spent some time moping about and doom scrolling at the end of the day, unfortunately. Should have just spaced out on the couch instead. Went to an art museum and saw this really great exhibit. It...
Days without turning off site blockers: 0 Yes, unfortunately I did turn off my site blocker (for the DUMBEST THING)! Been doing some creative free writing + finished Pluribus! The freewriting has mostly been word vomit on my notes app....
Days without turning off site blockers: 1 Slow day today. Moving work spots helped but wow, it was hard. Didn't feel much of a desire for 'fun tech time', other than listening to music on my MP3 player. Just holding out until reading...
