a thread in which i track some of the things i do during my temporary layoff (thanks, covid-19) to remind myself that i have a life and that things i do are important even if they are small

— DAY 1: went for a walk with emma, cleaned my desk, and finally found a spot for my scotthope funko pops!

— DAY 2: worked on an upcoming fic a bit, stubbornly sat outside reading even though it was cold, drank hot chocolate, did some rp posts

— DAY 3: wrote a bunch. didn’t really do much of anything else. trying not to feel bad about that.
