Honestly, my first answer was "nothing, I don't deserve something nice because I haven't been hitting my goals recently". Then I felt bad about that because being too hard on ourselves is counterproductive, so now I'll set aside some time to stretch tomorrow.

Stretching is amazing and underrated. Have a good sessh. π§ββοΈ
Trying to make a handful of new dessert recipes, ostensibly for my granddaughter's wedding this fall.
It's completely coincidental that they're all things I want to shove in my word hole.
This question is valuable, because it helped me crystallize some things in my head:
- I don't have the energy to make plans.
- I don't believe that I deserve something nice.
- The only nice things I dream about and have the strength to keep in mind from time to time (a female body and voice, immortality for me and my family, the eradication of racism, transphobia and macho culture) are unattainable.
I'm writing this down and bringing it to my doctor next time I see them.
Playing a ton of Stellaris.
Planting some trees with a community group beside a river.
Go for a walk in the sun with the dog.

Iβm going to the music night put on by the local public radio station at the local semi-pro soccer game. Itβs a double header and thereβs a bunch of concerts in between. I think itβs gonna be a lot of fun.
Hitting the gym, on both weekend days. It's questionable how nice it is, but I'm most definitely doing it for my own enjoyment and benefit.
Going to the Utrecht pride with my bf and friends :D
It's my birthday today so I'm having some friends over to grill and have a fire later
Happy birthday!
