Ups and downs. Back at the gym but only doing 15lbs per arm. It's embarrassing and a bit boring because I'm not feeling that burn, but the important thing is that I'm moving and my tendon isn't hurting too much.

Not sure if I've gone into my issues with sleep deprivation, but since I moved my cat has been running around the house howling all night. I thought it was because my commute is longer and she wasn't getting enough playtime. I started trying to wear her out before bed every day, but she wasn't getting any better. I finally figured it out one day when I realized that she wouldn't chase a toy into my bedroom. I don't know why she was avoiding the room, but I tidied the floor and started leaving treats in there for her while I'm away. She's slowly started sleeping next to me again, and I feel much better.

I feel like I dropped the ball with one of my friends (?) though. I don't know if anyone remembers, but a few months back I took some space away from a toxic friend group, citing an OCD episode I was having at the time. I truly didn't intend to ghost them but since then I've realized that I let one particular guy who used to be my bestie push me around and make me feel insane.

He messaged me a few days ago and I got a big anxiety spike and never opened it. I think with everything we've been through together he deserves honesty, I just couldn't make myself talk to him. The worst part is I'm sure he just sent me a goofy meme or something.

So basically things are improving, but my weaknesses are still glaring.
