little joys and little sorrows #3

some reflection/gratitude on the past month

Firstly, I must sincerely apologise for forgetting to post this week. I know you’re thinking, Candice I don’t even know your posting schedule chill out but I am upset ! I have been posting every Tuesday since November (except Christmas, ‘tis the season after all) and I don’t even have an excuse this week other than I just wasn’t with it. 

But I didn’t want to leave you hanging this week so here is an overdue little joys and little sorrows segment <3

---

little joys

• Going to an art exhibition on my own and having a wonderful time

• Planning more “artist dates” and taking myself out to do nice things like read in cafes and visit art galleries

• Having chill days at work because your manager is on holiday hehe

• Crafting with my mans

• Playing animal crossing again after like eight months and being obsessed all over again

• Oat milk tbh

• Baking banana bread (vegan + v yummy)

• Taking the day off for a hospital appointment but mainly for shopping in Oxford Street (I got a new jacket!)

• Noticing that working out has been working

• The new leaves on my monstera plant; they’re so perfect it’s like looking at art

• Deactivating my Instagram account and feeling nothing

• Being very close to coming off my immunosuppressant meds !!

little sorrows:

• I may have discovered a new allergy/intolerance—milk. But it made me try oat milk which I have become annoyingly obsessed with so that’s nice

• Can’t decide whether to leave my job or not because they’re obsessed with AI and taking jobs away from everyone

• Still haven’t finished another book this year but I'm trying not to be annoyed about it

• Part joy: I’m back on the steroid cream for my eczema (better than meds that make me feel sick every other day)

As always, if you have any little joys/sorrows of your own, please leave them in the comments as your little reflection of the month!

I WILL see you again on Tuesday :)
