Today I submitted my dissertation and am officially done with my course! (Unless of course I fail it )
Well (and this is, I believe, a game changer) if you wear your glasses slightly on top of your mask they don't steam up because the inside lenses don't get condensed. Not quite a game changer for people who don't wear glasses though I concede.
Oh super well done! That is massive! Did you get chance to celebrate?
Also, because I am nosy about such things, what was it on?
You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you wish to make.
Completed an assignment that 10 days ago felt beyond impossible. I thought I was going to have to restart the whole module over it.
Okay that is incredible. Little ol' Kiki here would have restarted the module so I get those feels and am proud of you for working through them. If Emma (and I retract your 2 until Luna posts here) is going to be a fantastic MH nurse (which she is) then you're going to be a fantastic psychological professional of the kind you choose to be.
P.S Apparently brackets are my new thing?

Today I finally took down my Christmas tree. Totally aware it's February, hence why I'm proud to have finally done it!
I also finally filed my nails which means I can give them a proper manicure this weekend. That's a self-care win right there.
Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world awaits in darkness for the light that is you.
Lovely stuff Steph!
Are you getting anything special done, gels, getting them coloured etc?

So I actually paint my nails myself, but haven't done it in like 7 months! I went for a peacock green base colour with an emerald green, sparkly top coat. I've just uploaded a photo in the picture board if you fancy a peak :)
Next challenge is to see how long they last, I have so much washing up it's unreal, but can't quite bring myself to do it just yet (not the worst thing...)

Ooooh, not had fancy nails for years (read painted/gels/acrylics, or in fact nails that were cut with nail scissors and not bitten/torn (non self harm way) off).
Thank you Kiran! I am pleased to say I passed the dissertation, and whilst I am not delighted with the mark, I am pretty proud of myself (I would insert a heart emoji here but I don’t know how to- yay crappy tech skillz)! Also, I do not wear glasses except for reading, but my ex step mother does and was very excited by this exciting tip/development re masks and glasses!
This week: Adulted fairly well. Did not quit job and have decided to deal with difficult colleague (the type of nurse your heart would sink at within five minutes of her being your assigned care coordinator), by ‘killing with kindness’. So I have offered to shadow her assessments and write them up, in exchange for ‘reflection’ time with her. Read: ‘She’s either got stuff going on or is a douche but I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt and trying to ease her stress levels by doing the assessment write up’. Benefit being I can also word it in a better way so any other readers are not biased by her AND we have reflection so a) I might learn and b) I can ask what ‘evidence’ she has for her conclusions .
Oh, and I got my final marks for other modules, not only dissertation, and whilst not confirmed, looks like I am going to finish with a first!
That's amazing Emma! Sounds like you are in fact doing an amazing job of adulting!
"I know you're sad, so I won't tell you to have a good day. Instead, I advise you to simply have a day.
Stay alive, feed yourself well, wear comfortable clothes, and don't give up on yourself just yet.
It'll get better. Until then, have a day."
