Today has been so much better than the last few days, holy shit. Is it just a coincidence that my period has stopped? Maybe, maybe not! I slept in a little bit and that helped, too.

I feel, I suppose, a little guilty for all of the melodramatics over the last week. It really felt like my emotions and the way I was processing them was totally out of my control. All of my coping mechanisms just seemed to fail, too. Everything sort of broke all at once. I wish I could have managed it better.

Anyway, I just feel very glad to have made it through a very rough patch.

In other news, I’ve begun my first craft for the Halloween season! I used one of the bowls I got from Poundland and covered the outside with spray foam. The goal is to carve the foam down into a mushroom head shape, then I can attach it to a post and voila: mushroom! I learned that the spray foam needs to be applied in stages because it slides off too easily. The end result will no doubt look very different but the foam already looks cool enough on its own!

This evening I had dance practice and it went really well. We went over the sections again and cleaned up some of the choreo, then at the end we ran the whole routine twice. By the end of practice we all had stitches in our sides so it’s safe to say that we’re working hard. I’m glad I went and I’m excited to see all of the progress we’ve made already!

Right, that pretty much sums up my Wednesday. Feeling loads more calm and way less panicky. Onward.
