I think Christmas wiped me out already 😅

I took my big camera for a walk today, feeling inspired. But I didn’t take any photos. Sometimes it’s just about Seeing and being in the moment, absorbing the wonder of nature and life, and not caring about making something from it. (Except I do care a lot. I often feel desperate to create, but unable.)

I quite liked Loki TV series. I hope it returns 📺

I’m so happy. I feel like I’ve just nailed this year’s Christmas presents (plus 1 birthday present) for family. And my work is done. I just have to wait for delivery and wrap them.

I put Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022) 🍿 on the TV, with the intention of having it on in the background whilst I do some tinkering on my computer.
I found it utterly enthralling and beautiful to watch. Such an immersive experience, and a gorgeous soundtrack. Wow!

The light outside is beautiful this morning. There are warm pastel tangerine colours on the horizon fading into pale cool lilac. I’m feeling very grateful to see it.

I’m spending some time in Lightroom today. The hardest part of editing photos I find, is being able to choose the best shots from a shoot. To try and be objective about a photo and separate the image from a happy memory is difficult. I still like to keep the “happy memory” shots, of course. But I like to know the difference.

I’m looking forward to slowing down for Christmas. Everything feels super hectic right now. It’s not that I do much with my time. It’s more like my mind is doing cartwheels right now. I’m either overwhelmed; depressed; or anxious. My usual self-care in such matters of the mind, isn’t really working. So I am learning to accept the way my mind is. The way I am. Looking after myself isn’t about fixing. It’s about caring.

I just emailed the support centre I attend because I really want them to continue the spiritual support group next year. I found it so beneficial to be in a safe space like that. I was really sad I couldn’t make it this week, especially because it was the last one.

I watched Rogue One (2016) again tonight with my son. We are both big fans and we agree this film is up there as one of the best Star Wars films. 🎬
It has a surprising emotional impact even after rewatching all these times✱.
So I think I need to rewatch Andor now..
✱ I’m guessing 8 times

I ventured into the village this morning for some supplies and treats for my family. I was expecting the usual shopping chaos but I must’ve timed it just right because it was quite quiet and chill. I even made it into the park for a little bit of fresh air, which was very nice.

I had a lovely day with my kids yesterday for Christmas. And I definitely ate too much.

Bugs in my code
I’m rounding out the year with a bug. Doesn’t seem like c19✱ but it does feel crappy and I’m sick of being sick
✱ I’ve had that 3 times. And this year was by far the worst, mainly because it led into 2+ months of long-c, which I am still recovering my strength and fitness from 2 months after that

On the plus side, I actually did some more art work today. It felt really good.

I’m keeping the Christmas spirit alive for myself as I give my body and mind a chance to rest and heal from this illness I’ve had last few days. (YUCK!)

I have been on a Harry Potter movie binge for the last week or so. I have to say I’m even more impressed than the last time I watched any of these films.
Such a cohesive and moving experience to watch them all back-to-back. I cried so much through the last three. Wonderful!
