Bit off

Today's just been a bit off.
Nothing profound, nothing noted,
Just... Off.

Not much energy to do the things I know I need to — Sitting and praying I'll do it all tomorrow and get it out of the way.

I'm trying to be gentle with my exhaustion rather than holding rest above my head like I usually do.

Today I'm feeding my mind, giving it everything it wants.

You want to play the brightly colored horse game? Okay, we can do that.
You want to draw and work on commissions? Okay, we'll do that too. Want to sit outside? Sure.

It doesn't heal the exhaustion, but it's something.

Maybe I need a warm bath. Something to wash off the tension. Then, maybe, a nap.

Not much good to eat around here at the moment. I've already eaten ramen today.
Days like these are such a slog for eating. Nothing sounds good, and there's not many options. I should have done some proper grocery shopping.

If nothing else I can have cereal. Tuna maybe. Just not in the mood for that, I'm afraid. No eggs left.

Thank god tomorrow is a short day.
