What Act of Self-Care Did You Do Today?

[artymon I\/]

Again, this isn't really "self care" but I bought some junk food to snack on today at work. I'm glad I did as I'd've been vury cranky without the sustenance.

I picked up some more pain killers so hopefully I will be able to manage my stress migraines a bit better. I made myself feel pretty by gluing some new nails on. I picked some lavender colour ones and they are super cute

I took off from work early, even though I could have (and probably should have) stayed on an extra hour or two and beefed my hours up. Because sometimes your personal time is more valuable than your work time.

(Well, okay, personal time should always be more valuable than just living to work but alas the Bill Man doesn't see it that way )

I did a couple of new things today to increase my career knowledge and ability. It felt really good and I really enjoyed it. It's increased my confidence and really made me feel like I can contribute to my department

I went on a bike ride today. I don't go often, but it was refreshing and a nice change of pace.

I had a nice lie-in this morning, had a lovely cup of tea for my breakfast and just chilled out all morning. It was lovely

I had a stress headache, so I tried out a bit of acupressure. Didn't think it would work, but it actually did help quite a bit

I did some horse racing with my family, it's fun bonding

^Like actual racing on a horse??? Or monetary betting?

Uh...beyond the standards, I want to attempt to create butterbeer and plan to go shopping for the ingredients today.

Reminds me, I should brush up on the eggplant parm recipe....

^Oh man, I remember attempting that butterbeer monstrosity....did not turn out anywhere near as awesome as I'd hoped.

Well, I skived off work to enjoy time at home. I probably could've done it and been fine....and considering what a bust the gym session was today, it might've been beneficial in that respect....but honestly, it's just the mental aspect too.

I also indulged and bought a few Lego sets!!!
