I'm back (again) - Recap

[alterkrmn]

It's been a weird almost-month. The kid got chicken pox and had a terrible time, but he's fine now, fortunately. But I was also very stressed and I think I got more tired than I thought I was (like usual, I never feel the real impact of my exhaustion until I try to do stuff and I can't). The only place I have been constantly posting my daily struggles and silly thoughts is fedi. 

I am almost done reading Global Examination. I want to know how it ends, but at the same time I don't feel ready to let You Huo and Qin Jiu go. I like them a lot and maybe it's because it's my first time reading this kind of novel? I don't know but after a rocky start because of the translation, now I'm very fond of this story.

Regarding shows, after finishing The Sign and being obsessed with it to the point of dreaming about it and waking up in the middle of the night to write down the ideas, I started rewatching it for writing fic purposes, because I am still obsessed. It just has so many gaps and a finale unsatisfaying enough (but not to the point of making me hate it) that make it perfect for fic...

Then I finished watching Unknown. I liked it and it made me curious about the novel (Dage, by Priest) because every time I watch something adapted from a novel or a comic, I like to know the source material and, in this case, I want to know if the novel explores some aspects in a deeper way. I found there's a fan translation but the wway of getting it is asking the translator via email and I don't know them, so it gives me a bit of anxiety to do that.

After that, I watched the mexican series Nadie nos va a extrañar and even wrote a post about it. It's one of those shows I watch and think they're just fine, nothing extraordinary, but days after watching it, I keep thinking about it and realize maybe I liked it a bit more than I initially thought.

After that, I kinda stopped rewatching The Sign, not because I got bored, but because I've been tired. I think it's because my mom stopped helping making food for me and the kid and now I have to cook. I love cooking but it's very time and energy consuming. Sometimes I just want to eat instant noodles and empanadas, tortas or memelas, but I have to provide the kid with healthy food so... yeah. And making food is definitely cheaper than buying it. I use so many spoons, though.

But my brain gets bored easily and I tried watching Love is a poison, but it turns out Netflix Mx only has the first five episodes and I don't know when the rest will be available and looking for places to watch stuff outside the official platforms requires me to open my laptop, something I haven't done in a while either, until now. So I just started watching Kidnap, but then got a bit distracted and haven't watched the rest. But at least now it's finished and can watch it without having to wait for the episodes to be available, but I don't know if I'm in the mood for that show right now. I have to try and see.

And just last night I watched the first episode of the Thai drama The Heartkillers, starring Khaotung Thanawat and First Kanaphan. I decided to give it a try because I watched the music video, shared by someone on fedi, and I thought it looked fun. It was fun, but it's gonna be a once a week thing, which I think it's fine for my brain right now. The thing is that it's probable my brain will get bored at some point and I will want to watch something while I wait until next Wednesday.

I've missed a lot of things here, but I'm back. Kinda. Hopefully. I will try.

Well isn't this just a Mood.
Why is it so difficult to identify when we're doing a lot? And why does it always feel like it's not enough?
It's noot a fun mood :(

Glad to see you here. 💜
Thank you! ❤️‍
