Here’s a short timeout from my travel diaries to share a quick month’s rundown. I’ve said that my January was so busy that my old body couldn’t handle it anymore. I think I tore more muscle fiber than I thought. I’d been enduring shoulder pain for weeks now, so I spent my time recuperating by doing as few activities as I could. I did pack up things and clean up all the mess that I accumulated after being out for so long, but I tried to keep my actions limited because my shoulders were still recovering. Right now, the pain’s barely there anymore, though I try not to strain it, so no big movement, which is good for me because I love my hermit life after that exhausting (but fun!) first month.

I finally caught up with my winter anime. I barely started anything last January, so I’m so relieved to finally catch up to all my backlog! Of course I’m excited for spring (though I dread that adult thingy that I need to do, ah, to be an adult *sighs*) but yeah, there are so many good anime to look forward to (but that’s another post for another time).

February Favorites and Highlights!

• We spent Valentine’s Day with the family. We treated ourselves with some pasta for dinner, and I got me some vanilla ice cream because, why not?
• I have this huge blogging boost, and I have a few ideas (hopefully I get to see through them!). But yeah, it’s been awhile since I got excited like this!
• Slowly but surely, I’m working on that personal project; the details are still confidential!

March Agenda!

• Reorganize the bookshelf (I only bought 4 new manga from my Japan trip, which is so sad but understandable; we barely had time to do anything else, and we kind of messed up our itinerary, making our ~shopping day~ altogether cancelled. (Quite happy that I still managed to get them after quick stopover by the bookstore nearby!)
• Finish my Japan travel documentation (first post is up! shameless plugging) and of course the journal journey snapshots (speaking of which, I still haven’t updated my mini journal, so that’s another one to do!)
• Update my reading list, which is currently still empty (I do take note but haven’t updated both my notion and google sheet! I’m also thinking of merging them. I have done the previous years until 2018 in notion. I think that’s another one for my very long to-do list! *sweats*
• If you notice, I can’t use emoji for some reason; it’s broken…I’m not sure what happened, so I’m figuring it out so I can troubleshoot my blog in the coming days (but working on websites for a living really takes a toll on you, too, so I’m taking my sweet time!)
• Some adult thing—ugh, I hate doing this! I HATE IT! Do you also have this intense dread of something you need to do, although it will only last for minutes to an hour, yet it occupies your mind days upon days until the day comes? Because, same! But at the same time, I just want it over and done with!
• More organization, so many things that I need to unpack and work on!

I’m slowly figuring out how to incorporate monthly posts into the blog again; and despite my grievances about them being too detailed, I miss doing it! But I want it more precise, so this is an experiment, let’s see if I can iron this out by the next update!

Wishing you a happy March everyone! 🙂
