thrillingdetectivetalesToday was a pretty good day, all things considered. I made a payment request to the unemployment service for the first time and it was easier than I expected it to be, which is a relief considering my leave time has officially run out and I will no longer be receiving a paycheck while on furlough unless it comes from the unemployment office. I played two games of D&D, walked the dogs three times, and received a trio of official NHL Coyotes face covers that Mom surprise ordered for me.
I've been thinking a lot about self-care recently, and about times in my life when I felt most confident and I'm committing to starting to run and box again, kicking off first thing in the morning. I splurged on some new makeup (eyeliner, mascara, lipstick) to round out the stuff I have at home and am also going to make an effort to put myself together at least a couple days a week so I don't feel like a potato sitting around in my pajamas all the time. Bought some new nail polish too, in the hopes that a few coats on my hands will keep me from stress-biting my nails so they can grow past the quick. Am currently working my way through various coats of "Crawfishin' for a Compliment" have bonus glittery toes thanks to a couple coats of "Strobe Light." Did a charcoal/menthol mud mask after I went out and picked everything up this evening (pre-ordered, with mask, minimal contact, and liberal application of Clorox wipes, don't worry) and followed it up with some rose tonic and my skin feels amaaaaazing.
I finished the series finale of Chuck the day before last and immediately started watching it over today because it's sweet and lovely and Zachary Levi is, as mentioned, a beautiful Bambi-eyed dork hottie. Have grand plans of dyeing my hair blonde tomorrow, which should be fun, and everything else continues to go well. Been writing a lot and having a delightful time of it, though the intermediate fiction class I signed up for was moved from June 1 to August 6, because they can't enough people to sign up for it. I poked through the catalogue to see if there was anything I'd like to switch it out for but I don't really want to take personal essay again so it looks like I'm just sticking it out for another few months.
I hope everyone else is doing well~
