strange days

I have all these browser tabs open with articles and recipes and music in them but I can’t seem to get a handle on reading/listening/copying/otherwise consuming the content and then closing the tabs.

I’ve been getting a massive amount of Stuff Done but when I’m not Working On Stuff I’m weirdly aimless and I don’t feel like I’m using that leisure time well. It’s not rewarding. Have I forgotten how to goof around enjoyably? Should I just Work On More Stuff?

I think maybe I’m just not yet used to not being so stressed and exhausted and unwell-feeling that anything beyond basic self-maintenance and going to work is impossible.

During today’s episode of Clean All The Things I found a “birthday card” (writing on the tag from a gift bag) from my 21st birthday, given to me by the person I’d been “not having a relationship” with for a goodly chunk of time until just before said birthday, and who I didn’t really get over until probably six years later. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it.
