Early Days of December

I've had a rough week. My father ended up in the hospital (not with COVID thank god) and past the initial anxiety it's clear he's going to be okay but he's also going to be there a while, and it's going to continue to be a bit bumpy for at least the next couple of days.

☆ I distracted myself by binging all of Central Park and Emily in Paris. The former starts out shaky but gets really good as it finds its footing. The latter starts out bad and I think continues being bad, but you become used to how bad it is so at a certain point you just kind of let it wash over you. I'm currently halfway through The Queen's Gambit and it's clear why this show has been such a massive success, though I'm kind of surprised so many people were willing to give it a shot considering what could be a very dry subject matter. Speaking of dry, I'm enjoying the performances in The Crown but aside from some emotional moments in the second episode that really got me, I haven't been blown away by it. I'm only on the third episode though so I highly suspect that will change.

☆ I'm very behind on the anime I'm watching this season, and I want to catch up on some of it while exercising (I need to get rid of this holiday weight) but I haven't been in the mental headspace to really do that. I got a cavity filled today so that's definitely not happening tonight either. At least I'm current on Love Live! as I fall further into my addiction with the mobile game.

☆ Haven't written anything in a while. I usually get some inspiration around this time of year but with life stuff it's kind of zapped all my energy from me. Which is frustrating because I do have stuff I could finish off for the Buffyverse Bingo amnesty round but I don't know if I'll end up getting there.

☆ I signed back up for HelloFresh on a whim and I'm honestly glad I did, because I ended up cooking myself dinner again for the first time in weeks. I'm not sure I'll keep it for the first five weeks but it's nice not to have to go to the grocery store as often right now.

This made me laugh and also decide I'm never watching Emily in Paris, lol.

Aw, I'm sorry things have been rough. I'm not surprised rl has zapped the writing mojo - it does tend to do that. Very annoying, just when you could use it the most for an escape! I hope things are improve a bit soon. ♥
