I haven’t been able to sleep very easily lately. I’m not sure why… I think maybe there’s something stressing me out, but I can’t figure out what it is.
I’ve been drinking fennel tea and the like, taking warm baths, and making myself into a burrito under the blankets but nothing seems to work. My bedroom door moves as if someone is pulling at it frequently during the night, and maybe that’s making me anxious? I don’t know.
Thanksgiving was pretty lazy, I guess. I sat around and played with my parents’ cats and finished marking student work, which probably depressed me more than it should. Note to self: be more detached when marking assignments next time.
Mum and I went out and about, and she stopped for me so I could take this photo:
I saw this beaded clutch at the natural living place mum went to to change her something or other appointment, and it reminded me of some of the beadwork I saw in Tanzania. I quite like it, but it’s too small for practicable use, and I don’t go out as much as I used to. Also I don’t have a spare $23 kicking around to spend on something frivolous.
We also went grocery shopping to buy stuff for Thanksgiving lunch. We chomped on macarons as well. I regret not getting a macaron cookbook I saw in Los Angeles called I love Macarons. I really want to go back to Nadège and eat all the macarons.
For Thanksgiving lunch, I invited my old school chum Megan over, and it was really nice to see her. We hopefully will hang out more often, since I’m thinking about moving back to mum and dad’s in January to save money. My childhood friend Emma, and her mum Karen also came which was lovely – though mum and Karen hang out all the time.
I returned back to my messy apartment. I have been cleaning it and I think it’s now moderately presentable. I’m having a clothing swap on Sunday, so I hope that my guests will be happy with it.
I also have been working in my library office which is pretty rad. It’s got a comfy chair and a window. And shelves. It’s way nicer than my office space in the department.
In any case, I’ve got to get back to work.
