Topic: Chatting

In a stroke of genius, I've realised that I can just plug in my laptops cooling mat to my phone charger, and use it like a normal fan. Desperate times call for desperate measures, because it's roughly eighteen degrees outside and I'm still sleeping with a hot water bottle because every muscle from my jaw to the bottom of my ribcage is protesting their existence.

On a better note - despite the usual stress which summer adds to everything, I've been making a little more of an effort to keep up with my friends :3. I've really fallen behind this year on like, basic social interaction and communication, but now I'm attempting to check in every day, even if it's only for a short conversation. Short steps. Reacclimating to the whole "feeling safe for others to be around" thing. And I've missed everyone! It's genuinely such a relief to remind myself it isn't always this difficult, that I do very much enjoy having company. The woes of being an extrovert.

It is going to go uphill from here.
