I woke up early today to spend the whole day with my mom and now I'm just exhausted. I managed to find some rambutan fruit though so I'm really excited to wake up tomorrow and dig into it :) My apartment complex has a bar downstairs that got turned into a speakeasy for the weekend so it's super noisy and annoying haha.

The big things I really really want to do are too big at this point, and I've had a lot of trouble finding things between those and the edge of my safe zone. I don't want to be totally stuck, and I know pushing myself will help with that, but that's not quite the same as *wanting* to do a specific thing. This has caused me a lot of trouble....
