Apr. 17th, 2025 07:43 amSOme time yesterday afternoon I decided that my "just do the damn thing" chore would be to take a shower. Brains are so weird and it is often extremely difficult to convince myself to take one. Did I need 4 hours to do it? I sure did not, but the mental energy required was about the equivalent.
Somewhere (probably Tumblr) I read that a lot of neurotypical people think of a task like that as "take a shower" and don't include the non-tasks like getting the towel and the things the cats otherwise knock over out of the cabinet* and laying down the mat and -- on and on. To them that's all part of the task, but for neurospicy people (and/or spoonies) that's often 18 different tasks and doing all of them is a LOT.
*NGL yesterday's shower was a water-only scrub down with the loofah bc I forgot the shower gel in the cabinet. I was not about to get out and find it. M and I are travelling next week, I will soap-y shower before we go.
Anyway, I got right in the car and went to get the Amazon package yay hooray, and then took the shower when I got home. And when my hair was still wet, I chopped a lot of it off. It was feeling far too long so. Off it comes mwahahaha. I really need to text the hair person I saw last time.
Post-shower was dinner (heated a can of soup, v yummy) and then I taped together the slip pattern, unpicked one seam on the silk skirt K gave me, and fought with Calcifer (literally) to cut it out. I wonder if my neighbours hear me yelling AAAAHHHHH!!! when she attacks me and wonder what the hell is going on down here.
Since I was all freshly clean and made a point to shave my legs, I am wearing my new Charm pieces today, the Honor Roll top and Millicent skirt. Y'all, I feel so pretty <3 I even put on a proper bra for the first time in literally years (it is the only bra I have ever had that properly sits on my body the way all the bra guides say it should -- the middle part touches my sternum and I think that's why I stopped wearing it, one day it was touching me TOO MUCH; however I have SO MUCH empty space in the top of the cup) and it is giving me good info about how this top fits. I made a D/DD but i think I'll need to go to the F/G if I keep wearing this bra. Pictures later, I just feel so good. Nyahahaha.
LOOOONG WEEKEND and then a few days before VACACIONES. Tomorrow my friends are having games, Saturday is mine, and Sunday is a BBQ, weather permitting. I really need to get cat food bc the current bag is nearly empty, and that thread so I can start that other project. Knitting for the out-of-house events bc no knife-footed helpers, sewing on Saturday. And I should take an hour or two to work on the pockets for N. That should fill me up pretty good :)
Need to get an oil change before we head out on the trip too, it's been 2 years and maybe 1k kilometers over the recommended mileage since the last one.
