What Did You Do For You Today???

[BlackbirdSinging]

My mom put a show on about a young woman who had been a victim of human trafficking and had been sexually abused during the human trafficking. The show was going to detail her experiences. Usually I try to tune my ears out and not listen when shows like that are on. But, even the other day no matter how much I tried to not listen I heard. And it triggered a suppressed memory. So, tonight when my mom put the show on I said I was going to head to my room for the night. I said listening to things like that is too hard for me and isn't good for me. She paused the show and offered to put something else on. I said no that's ok. I think that might have been the first time that I can remember that I ever did that. I did that for myself today. I practiced self care and I asserted myself for myself.

I treated myself with a dessert.

After I left the hospital this morning, I drove to the drive through car wash and got the full treatment for £5, then dried off all the door edges when I got home, It was too cold to do the whole car?

Just as well, as it rained a few hours later! So the car got a treat instead of me. Lol

I had therapy. It was a tough session. I worked hard. When I left I was hungry and I was craving chicken mcnuggets. I talked myself into getting them out of getting them and then back into getting them. I haven't had them for a long time. I sat at our dining room table reading Harry Potter and eating chicken mcnuggets and a small order of french fries. And you know what? I'm glad I did. Now I'm going to make a cup of hot tea and maybe read a little more and let my brain rest and work on my session in the background since that seems to be how it goes sometimes.

Went on a long run alone - only with my music. That was relaxing.

I played catch-up on some self-care stuff today:

Dry brushed my skin before I bathed and used my favorite oils and such.

Made herbal sun tea with red clover, sarsaparilla, raspberry leaves, and stinging nettle.

Visited the chiro.

Met with the T.

Visited my favorite online spaces.

Ate a giant garden salad topped with a scoop of chickpea curry salad and a drizzle of papaya poppy seed dressing.

Made some chickpea blondies with dairy-free chocolate chips (holy taste buds, batman!!!! they're made with what?!!?!!)

And will eventually end it by treating myself to some much appreciated belly laughs with the new episodes of Grace and Frankie on netflix.

Came home from work and went straight to bed. Too much adulting for one day.
