didn't get the chance to do this since my sister phoned me and I helped her find some things on the 'net.- read 3-6 pages of 'the tale of genji', without losing track of it -
check - 6 pages readLet's see if I can actually do this:p
result of embroidery session:
(was my first time embroidering, so it's not perfect, but I'm trying to let go of perfection)
conclusion:
I had the best time ever and I was actually able to be productive.
Very happy, no bad thoughts.
I think what made it successful is that there was no one to nag me about failing school/cleaning my room/doing housework/stop being in my room all the time/ to go outside/ to take my vitamin pills etc. etc.
All of the things I did today made me happy. I've hardly felt this happy in the past 6-8 months, so I guess it's a good thing.
I can't count on it, but I'm hoping for a similar day tomorrow : )
