Habit Tracking: Week 05 (January 25 - January 31)

Finally, the perfect week to use this fantastic sticker. This is one Alex got for me. "It is what it is, and it's pretty terrible" indeed.

This week was pretty much solely dedicated to recovering. Or... it would have been, if I hadn't had to go to such lengths to get so much nonsense paperwork signed. Those frustrations pretty much overshadowed everything else, and made it harder to really do anything else, including things like sleep. It's been dealt with as much as possible at this point. I was annoyed at how far behind I felt on everything. As much as the stress kept me from sleeping well, I feel like I did sleep a lot. Healing seemed to be moving the right direction, and food all sat reasonably well. Pain stayed manageable. Started trying to walk more, as advised.

Goals for the week:

• I did finally get the medical paperwork signed (thank you so much to the nurse I saw)
• I did start reading We're Here, a queer-themed anthology
• I started to work on my January reviews
• I visited Taylor on Saturday
• I finished the leave application
• We went and got crickets

Tracked habits:

• Work - 0/7
• Household Maintenance - 7/7
• Physical Activity - 3/7
• Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 0/7 (the bit I colored in on the tracker was an oops)
• Non-fiction Writing - 1/7 - over 500 words
• Meta Work - 1/7
• Personal Writing - 1/7
• Other Creative Things - 1/7
• Reading - 7/7 - I mostly read We're Here, and Taylor and I started Gideon the Ninth
• Attention to Media - Sunday watched news and protest coverage; Monday more protest coverage and I watched music videos for a while; Tuesday more protests, then some video game reviews/essays; Wednesday, Thursday, Friday had random youtube in the background; Saturday I watched Sinners with my mom and Taylor, and later more news coverage.
• Video Games - 0/7
• Social Interaction - 5/7
