human things + finished zine

i think i'm experiencing some level of burnout, so i'm trying to treat myself like a human and do a bit less "output" this weekend. 
often I gain energy by doing my creative projects in the evening, but on the weekends it can feel a little overwhelming working on the creative projects while also trying to, you know, do laundry, and be a good partner, and go to the gym and all that human stuff. 

today we went to target and got some things we've been needing around the house. i really dislike shopping for new things (i enjoy thrifting) but going to big box stores or shopping online is a dread of mine. anyway, we got cutting boards, a clothing organizer (which i then assembled and put a bunch of clothes on), a laundry basket, a lemon juicer, and ice cube trays (which i then squeezed 3 ice cube trays worth of lemons). 

so i'm pretty pleased with all the chore-based stuff i did today.
i was supposed to do some chore-based, human-upkeep things yesterday since i took a day off to do that kind of "self-care" stuff. but instead i only ticked 2 things off my list: trim bangs, trim nails. and then i don't even know what i did. just rotted i guess. 

that's not even true. I finished my Fern FM January 2026 zine!!! 


but i felt pretty sad, so at the time this didn't feel like an accomplishment but a deferral of responsibility

today i'm feeling pretty happy about my balance of being a human and being myself. 

watched the exhibition gala of ice skating for the Olympics tonight. 

i liked two additional songs by 1tbsp - Dolly Destructiva and Limosina. These both have cherry chola, who i've not listened to before.
