Stuff'n things
Mar. 5th, 2022 08:59 pm* started Ukrainian on Duolingo... the differences from my base knowledge of Russian from college are throwing me a little (de instead of gde for where, xto (khto) instead of shto, etc) but eh I'll survive. Not sure how long I'll be juggling three languages (Spanish, Yiddish, Ukrainian) but I'm starting to learn to not worry about that sort of thing.
* I'm trying to start doing a modified Sabbath ... not fully tech free, but establishing a Day Of Rest. If I could still write by hand easily I'd do journaling, but it doesn't feel the same doing electronically, especially since typing is also awkward and slow. But reading is a thing. Yarn stuff -- maybe slow knitting. Coloring, maybe. I know there are a million and a half ways to Do Sabbath so I'm investigating different things.
* I'm still loving the super short hair thing omg. It's been, what, three weeks? It's grown a lot (millimeters have more impact) but still short af.
* I really hate being tired all the time. Not sure how much is just "pandemic + war + racial justice + disability justice" burnout, how much is disability-adjacent stress plus chronic pain, and how much is some mysterious undiagnosed medical fuckery going on.
