23/30 days of self care

Today I continued working on the first set of documents I took pictures of at the archive, and believe it or not I am basically done with this first group of photos. I will conclude it tomorrow morning, and then start on the second set of pictures, which I feel like I could manage to be done with by the end of the week. I also heard from the professor, who asked me to have a meeting to discuss the first chapter of my thesis. So at the end of the week I'll have that, and it was perfect timing because I was already planning to take that day off to go out with my mom. I have been given some money to spend on books for my birthday so I cannot wait for it. Aside from this I did again quite a bit of reading, I have picked up House Of Leaves by M.Z. Danielewski again after almost a month of having it on hold. I think I've finally hit the pont of the book in which I am really interested to know how things will develop. I am more or less half way into it, and the more ambitious part of me would like to finish it by the end of the week. I am not sure if I can do it, but I surely can try. In the afternoon I have also practiced Irish on duolingo. Self care things I did today:

read first thing in the morning (and a lot during my study breaks)

took some time to draw (after such a long time I was really in the mood to do some drawing and I started a big illustration in my bullet journal for August)
