I've spent five hours today writing an essay on community work from a Marxist perspective with a Star Trek quote as my baseline and it is turning out very nice and more coherent than I expected (considering the baseline sources that I am forced to use in it). I love it that I've been able to build it around this quote and kind of stay true to myself while doing it.
And now I'm just sitting here feeling very spent but happy about being able use a materialist perspective in a lib uni. I might be able to do what I have set myself to do in the long term if I can keep this up.
The weather also feels properly wintery today and it's just cozy being inside wearing wool socks and drinking tea. I am wearing my kufiya on my shoulders and it just feels so warm and cozy while the outside world is freezing more and more.
A friend also had a health scare late last night that turned out ok.
And I have great food ready to eat so I don't have to cook today.
Plus, my partner cleaned our home today too so there is no dust and everything looks tidy. No dishes, which is nice.
And I got my myself a new tart pan so I can make us a parisian flan later this week as a treat. I've really been on my baking bs again this autumn and it has been great for all involved. I have several treats lined up that I want to make. We typically eat them with tea after our hiking adventures with friends so I can share what I've done. It gives me so much joy.
