Not me trying hard not to cry my eyes out at the gym.

This book probably should’ve come with a warning…

It’s messy. But it’s a start.

You'll laugh, but I'm going to buy a beginners knitting kit with the money.

I listed 78 items yesterday for sale.

When I said I was decluttering, I wasn't kidding.

I listed them for next to nothing because I just want them all gone. I want more room and space to breathe. I want to be done with memories of how tiny I used to be. I want to let go of clothes that are actually just reminders of men I once knew. So they were listed cheap.

Even so, I didn't expect to have 22 items with offers on them already.

I can see this will be a good thing. I can. It's just going to sting a little at first...

That weird sense of accomplishment you feel when the dentist tells you that you have "great oral hygiene."

I shouldn't feel this proud and validated.

It happened again. I started the day just listing one or two items on eBay. The next thing I know it's 6pm and I've been through nearly my entire wardrobe doing a massive clear out. So many things listed.

I was tougher with myself this time. Stricter. There are items for sale that I don't want to part with, but hanging onto them makes no sense. Holding onto them like they're collectors items when I've had them for years and never worn them once is just silly. It was difficult all the same.

Other than a walk I did nothing else with my day. It was a full day activity of clearing clutter but it didn't give me the same sense of accomplishment that it usually does. Now I just feel a bit antsy about the ones I don't want to part with and impatient for the rest to sell. I have plans for the money. No new clothes though. That was the rule.

I don't even know why I'm sharing this beyond, I guess, that it shows I'm trying to move on from the past. Even the parts I don't want to move on from. But as it turns out, I'm just not very good at it.

Today was a day for wandering. Parks, gardens, water. And a mimosa on the water with the rest of the city.

It’s Friday! It’s croissant day!

I started this fitness program at the start of the year and one of the unexpected benefits is that I no longer eat takeaway or get food delivered. If I have a craving for a meal I cook it myself and I meal prep everything in advance so I never need to grab food. Being too lazy to cook is never an issue if the freezer is always full. So there’s no takeaway and no food delivery.

The exception to that rule is croissant Friday.

And I don’t understand it. I’m not even a big croissant eater. I’m not one of those people who are obsessed with trying every croissant in the city. I like them a normal amount. Except that every single Friday eating a croissant is the culinary highlight of my week. This one little act of purchasing a croissant from the bakery on the way to work brings so much joy to my week and only a small financial cost.

I don’t understand it either, but I’m here for it.
