Dispatches from Asteroid Hopkins

needs more stickers

Rehab started with one and a half hours of singles therapy, with the therapist i thought hasn't «got» me last week. I was afraid of the impact this session could have had, if its wheels came off. Talking with a fellow from my group about it, she suggested to go all in, open up and see what comes back. I liked the idea, and did take down a fee safety measures, and it worked. I handed over my heart, and got it back less burdened—at least for that moment.
Later in Occupational Therapy, i wasn't able to finish the Zaku Gunpla i assembled over the last couple of weeks, accepting this wasn't as big a blow as i assumed—at least at this point in time. I fell out of my rhythm when i painted a foot and smudged the piece. And my eyes are getting tired to the point of loosing focus in shorter and shorter intervals. Brought a few magnets along for another member to affix a piece of soapstone, that needs to be removable.

In the early evening, i started moving my photo calendar to a loose-leaf notebook. I wasn't sure about the size of the loose-leaf notebook being large enough to accommodate the high number of small prints; turns out, i was wrong. I should have been worried about how many the photo stickers i had left to move the collection i accumulated since the beginning of the year. Have to pick up at least two boxes to finish the new notebook and have enough for the future.
