thoughts from a drama queen in an iso box: day six

 

hello world.

today has not been a day full of energy. therefore i have not had a lot of motivation to do much of anything interesting or useful. i am still rocking a bit of a cough and there is gunk still present in my head, but thankfully nothing new has presented itself.

in not having much oomph today, there also isn’t much of a preamble to the highlights of today. so today was monday july eleventh and whilst in iso i did/thought the following:

slept in until two o’clock pm. through trying to outrun multiple different nightmares that did not make me feel well rested and not needing to be anywhere in a hurry today – for obvious reasons… - i just kept rolling over and hitting snooze. that reminded me of early lockdown days in 2020 where i wasn’t employed at the time and could sleep in until early afternoon. it feels great in the moment, but also throws the entire vibe of the day off so that could have explained my general lack of oomph…

caught up with episodes of the latest marvel universe television show ms marvel. it has definitely gone under the radar since its premiere and was somewhat decisive online with the origin and specific nature of protagonist kamala khan’s ‘marvely’ powers, as well as the show’s tone and target demographics. i did not agree with most of that hub bub and was excited to see something young, new and culturally exciting with another interesting female lead, but lowkey also forgot that i had gotten behind in recent weeks. whilst i think it is a little bit lacklustre in terms of mythology and extra flair, there are still plenty of awesome one liners, complex fight scenes and important character development in terms of family, culture and identity which i always love to see in my television. i do think this series will end up being a better experience on a full binge once the whole season has dropped, but i am still intrigued to see where the series ends up!

kept on knitting. it has become a simple activity i can do somewhat mindlessly whilst watching youtube, or television, or listening to music, or basically anytime i feel like multi-tasking. it is also mindless enough that i can do it if the rest of me is lacking in oomph. a square or two a day makes me a happy gal folks!

kind of a boring day, but i waffled on none the less. will check in tomorrow for the last time to close these iso diaries.

love and a very delicious hungry jacks comfort food time,

emily xx
