omnia_mutantursometimes, i don't give myself very much credit. i only know how to look at the things i'm not doing, the weight i'm not losing, the lamp i'm not replacing, the floors i'm not mopping, the books i'm not reading.
but i did manage to teach myself how to cook, to an extent. i'm still bound to recipes, but i'm getting more adventurous, and light and i have managed to actual use up things like entire jars of spices or sesame oil or other things that used to simply languish in my cupboard, if they existed there at all.
and i've just discarded that as an accomplishment, and beat myself up about the next thing. and it's not that i'm demanding pats on the head or blowing my own horn, i'm just sort of starting to recognize the formula for permanent disappointment that i'm following.
oh, and you should admire my new icon.
i think i'll go make myself a sweet potato and hang laundry.
