Most of my stuff except the towels are finally dry now! I got the brilliant idea of cranking up the heat (which, by the way, after they upgraded the heating system last week, our water doesn't get as hot now and I wouldn't be surprised if the heater doesn't go as high either. I was kind of cold this morning when I woke up even with the heat on a 4/5 but then again I hiked 8 miles in 90F weather a few days ago and it was like 50 and wet this morning) and turning on the ceiling fan to circulate the air some.

I also brought back with me some essential oils I had at home. I don't have a diffuser or anything but I've been putting a few drops in a bowl with boiling water and keeping it near me when I'm reading, journaling, eating, etc. and put a few drops of the lavender and peppermint on a tissue and put it in my pillow case when I go to bed. It helps. Especially considering my neighbor smokes pot and I don't really think the landlord cares too much despite it supposed to be a pro-recovery residence. I heard her going after my neighbor, like to a point she was almost crying, after maintenance checked out my fridge a while ago and reported smelling it, and then they were laughing after a bit like "haha, just kidding, just wanted to scare the newbie."

My mom is driving by town today and she's going to stop by on her way home tonight with my desk, chair, and curtains. Pretty excited to set that up. I love assembling furniture. I know a lot of people get frustrated (especially if they try to follow instructions that aren't clear), but I (don't follow directions and just go by the picture on the box or website and intuition) and think it's fun.

I went for a walk ridiculously early this morning just out of cabin fever (that I get from being inside for 10 hours straight apparently now that it's not subzero every week) and there were a lot of people playing pickleball at 6:30am. It was kinda shocking not gonna lie. Didn't know people got up that early to play pickleball on a Wednesday.
