Grumpy Sunday.

Didn't get enough sleep last night (3 hours between 10 pm and 1 am and a couple of hours between 6 - 9 am) and I am feeling the effects of it. My mood's really easily aggravated and I get testy and moody about the dumbest shit. Doesn't help that my gf is feeling the effects of her Saturday work day and doesn't have much energy or patience for my mood swings, so the apartment is a kinda tense place to be right now.

This happens sometimes and it's okay, I know it'll pass, it's just frustrating and I just wanna feel better, enjoy the beautiful weather (will be going for a walk with a friend later today, so that's good) and write. But my mood means that I'm also extremely self-critical about my writing and it took me an hour writing 120 words earlier, because I kept changing things and deleting and starting from scratch. I hate that kind of mini writer's block, it's the worst feeling, tbh.

I am counting on getting some poems churned out next week instead. Maybe tonight, if the walk helps me cheer up somewhat.

I'm cooking tonight. We were supposed to have this dish yesterday, but I didn't have the energy to make it, so we had Chinese take-away instead and saved the ingredients for today. It's ribeyes (they were on offer) with... I don't know what they could be called in English, but the Danish term translates to "smashed potatoes" and it's basically boiled potatoes (with peels) gently crushed beneath the bottom of a glass and brushed with olive oil (a lot of it), seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme (I use fresh bc we have it right now, but it can be dried) and then in the oven for some time, until they're crispy around the edges, but moist and soft inside. It's delicious. I could eat them like candy, really.

So, I'm looking forward to that! Nice food always makes me feel really happy.

Even if cooking stresses me out like nothing else. Minus family dinners and such, maybe, haha.

Will also be looking into getting

fanficfeedback up and running next week. I'm so glad a couple of you have already shown interest! I'll be using it myself while working on this project of mine, definitely.

And probably every Fannish Fifty 2023 entry after that, LOL.
