this might be a tricky one, because I don’t feel good today.

• Woke up at six o’clock this morning, got out of bed, stopped to get breakfast on the way to school, took meds, did some reading in the morning. I sat under a tree and looked up at the branches. It was peaceful and it felt good.
• The readings were well-written and accessible and I liked them
• Ran out of social energy abruptly in the middle of the day and felt much better just sitting alone in the shade, doodling in a notebook. Tight swirls of purple ink.
• Someone I don’t know well stood up for me when I wasn’t there in the room, because she correctly deduced that I wasn’t going to do that for myself. Found out about it later and guessed correctly about who it was. Told her thank you.
• An awkward but I think sincere apology from a professor turned into a meandering conversation about analytic philosophy. I more than held my own in that conversation. I don’t know if I’ve made a friend, but I think I may have found an interlocutor.
• This is a small thing, but today I remembered to eat. Twice.
• Everyone who forgives me for the typos in the emails that I only ever find once I’ve hit send
• At the end of the day, my cat is here. And the dog. My mom & dad, my little sister.

I hope it’s a good night.
