I wanted to go to bed early and I said, "because I'm a lazy girl", but it didn't feel right to say that, even as a joke. So I corrected myself, and said, "actually I'm a tired girl who's been worn down by life."

So anyway, just a reminder: be kind in your self talk

I'm with my parents on vacation. I was moving clothes from washer to the dryer and realized I had left a tissue in a pocket so everything was covered with little bits of paper debris. As I was shaking them out, I said out loud, "that was not clever, Val." From the other room, my mom said, "please don't be hard on yourself, Val."

@dillyd sleep well, tired girl. You are very right in your (second) thinking.

@dillyd
BUT WHAT IF I REALLY AM THE WORST???

@dillyd That’s good advice. Be kind to yourself and get some sleep. Take the time to do something you enjoy doing tomorrow.

@dillyd I'm about to keel over so I'll definitely be turning in early. Toast.

I hope you get a good sleep!

My grandmother taught me early by example just to say "I'm gonna have a lie down, there's food in the fridge." Have a good lie down.

@dillyd @grrrr_shark also, and this is a common mistake, consciousness has diminishing returns.

@dillyd

I hope it was a good rest, with a few cute dreams, and some nice sensory soothing, and sparkles.

@dillyd I wrote here last week that I was rebelliously going to bed at 10pm although there was still work to do ;D

@dillyd Hate when that happens. Many, many washes later my black polypropylene long johns still have little white flecks embedded.

@dillyd Oh, forgetting a tissue in a pocket before putting the clothing in a washing machine. Never fun.

Your mom's comment is so sweet, though. 🥰

@dillyd Sorry, that went into the wrong place! I was going to say, I call that the ceremonial laundry tissue.
