- January: depression impending displacement, can't do shit but apartment hunt like it's my 9-5, radicalized by being displaced by developers who only want to flip apartments for profit, working on my personal site was the key to my sanity
- February: found a place to move to but the S T R E S S of packing ugh, work tried to overwork me, had my first in-public panic attack :)
- March: the S T R E S S of moving ugh, Baby's more comfortable in the new apartment than I am
- April: an extended stay of PMS triggering depression, learning the area and having mixed feelings on it, missing my larger, cheaper, former apartment + my neighbors & neighborhood, also PS: the apartment I just moved into got sold lmao stay tuned
- May: a much more stable and successful month, tho there were some days I felt like I was going insane. I finally managed to retrieve some items from freecycle! I got Baby some cat food that she loves, and a cat stair set (that she ignores smh). I also got around to some very overdue unpacking, started my credit journey, got Baby a check up in preparation for her spay, and had copious amounts of sushi...Because one thing about me, ima spoil myself after having to Adult™. I'm beginning to appreciate my space; It's a small studio, but at least I have rooms and the design is cute. I'm also appreciating the convenience of the bus in my area connecting me to a lot of places I need to go. It could be so much worse, so I'm grateful it's not.
- June: instead of going to New York, I decided to be responsible and keep my ass home and pay the optometrist and my cat's vet for our health. The money was moneying away...and she got an infection after surgery, so that added extra stress onto what I was hoping to be a stress-free staycation for me. Anyway, she's great now, and I'm glad I got us situated.
- July: an unexpected depressive episode hit RIGHT AFTER I got a depression re-diagnosis and was telling them that I didn't feel depressed. Funny how that works. First half of the month was productive tho as I was outside, going to the gym, etc. Felt fantastic. Life, hormones, chemistry, etc. often has other plans.
- August: Mama's got a new job 😎
