☁️ 23 june || 🛍️🚌

Preparation day for leaving overnight. Plan is to go to Tallinn to meet T and pick up some things, which means getting calming stuff for the cats. Also picked up my new residency card; 3 more years granted here! That's really nice to know I can stay here longterm with T if I want to. Tomorrow is tumultuous because T's flight got way delayed and they missed the next one, but it seems like they'll just arrive in the evening instead now, and that's not so bad. I'll take my laptop and get some work done, with the hopeful assumption that the cafes arent full.

Final push for cleaning before T gets here. Last of the laundry, sweeping, clearing the counter, etc. Got everything done quickly all considering, but I tend to do these things in one shot and I was so fatigued afterward. The blood pooling squicks me out when I become aware of it honestly. Otherwise, completed the lavender earrings! They came out really cute, and the length is perfect. And that completes my set of purple flower beaded jewelry! I also started on T's sapphic pair; omg it's so bright lol. Hopefully I get both pairs of those done by Pride.

More of a cleaning day, laundry and whatnot. Still have more laundry and sweeping, need to pick up calming stuff for the cats. The 24th is so soon! The sun no longer sets, so it's hard to mark how much time I spent on anything today. Also updated and reorganized my heds symptom tracker for L and pestered him again, so hopefully I get an answer soon. The earrings also continue; I'm not used to working with 11/0s anymore and usually weave with them, so threading them takes a bit more work. Still trying to decide on the next silyanka to make.

Today was better for crafting. I found a pattern for little lavender earrings that match the necklaces I made recently and started on them. Got two stems of them done so far! I'm also going to make sapphic versions for T and me. Did some Ukrainian grammar study, updated the genitives page. I always forget how much there is to its formation. And did a tarot spread, but the cards didn't like the spread I guess. Ended up resetting the reverse cards so the deck is refreshed for next time. Continuation of cleaning for when T gets here on the 24th.

Not much progress for crafting today. I looked through a lot of patterns, but I've been indecisive. I like a lot of floral patterns, but there's really only so much you can do with that unless you're also transforming it at some point (like the anarchist rose silyanka). So I've been looking through geometric silyanky, and some are really neat; I'm just not sure how to revise their colors exactly. Not much else today; my wrists and knees have been hurting more than usual, but at least it wasn't a headache day.

Purpose of this page is to start doing little daily journals again since I can't find my 5-year journal anymore lol. Finished off my woven purple flower silyanka today; I did the lace last night and then the clasps today. Considering how I want to approach matching earrings. Made the symptom tracker form + spreadsheet. Also thinking what else can be tracked on this site; Notion has been an inspiration for tarot spread tracking etc., but I want to do that over here instead. But I need to rebuild habits and maybe aesthetics will help.
