It's been a lovely morning <3

It's not quite 9 am, and I always seem to begin my writings by stating the time, so here we are. 

Good morning! I am sitting in our new satin duvet cover, playing my new January playlist of ethereal pop from my cellphone, while Andrew still (sort of) naps, right next to me. Almost all of our animals are snuggled around him. I'm doing a face mask--its this Indian healing clay one: 

It's literally the best. It's the only thing that seems to actually do something, that I, a person with absolutely no proper knowledge of skincare, know of. 

So far in 2024, I've been creating with my new cricut, sleeping and eating well, listening to Taylor Swift, playing super Mario kart with Andrew, and working at my silly little job. I downloaded a countdown widget on my phone to remind me often of how soon my next vacation is (one month and sixteen days away!). I went to the eye doctor, I'm getting glasses in 3 weeks. I got off my anti-depressants, and am feeling quite a bit more like myself. 

I was feeling dull. Sometimes I liked the dull feeling, though. The way everything was just turned down, I didn't have to care about much at all. Things just kind of rolled off of me, but eventually I kind of missed just feeling things. So, I'm back again, in a way, but different. I'm feeling much better now. 

For breakfast this morning, I think I'll make huevos rancheros with fried red potatoes, because Andrew LOVES huevos rancheros, and I love potatoes! I'll make a simple chunky refried black beans, sizzle up some fried eggs (I like them over medium!), and heat some tortillas. I will serve it with crispy fried potatoes.

I will work on my EP, as I totally postponed my release date to February, and it's approaching sickeningly fast. Thankfully, I am making quick progress as the songs are all mostly done, just needing bits of mixing and mastering here and there. I am really looking forward to releasing it, as I don't think the sounds I created on this EP are anything that anyone is expecting. I am the sole producer for this EP, and it's truly been so much fun learning how to produce and create music for myself and others to hear. It's been my lifelong dream, as long as I can remember. 

Before I do any of this, though, I am going to have a few goblets of sugar free sweet tea!
