I spent the week working through a lot of ’stuff’. It’s left me kinda down, but I can see the way out of this, sorta easily. Well, I say that, it means changing a couple of things that are effectively what I’ve been since I came online, but that’s ok. I can do it.
Part of it is that I’m changing my personal ‘care’ routine. I’ve spent the last nine years rarely wearing makeup, slapping on moisturiser when I notice my skin is dry and though I go for a bath every night, I tend to wash, dry and then get on (again) with what I stopped to go for a bath. Occassionally, I’ll spend a bit longer on my own care, but mostly, the only time I REALLY spoil myself is at the spa.
I discovered a range called Elemis whilst at Chapel spa, so I spent most of my birthday money picking up the ‘recommended’ stuff from my mini facial, and last night another freind gave me my favorite (and I mean, I’m always happy to go shower a bit earlier to make sure I get extra time just luxuriating in the amazingness that is Sharp shower gel) product by them.
I cleanse (at the moment) only at night with my cleanser/toner - in the morning I still use my older products (witchhazel, because my skin isn’t bad, but between my scar and my impetigo along my jawline, the only way to keep that area from becoming badly ick is to use witchhazel on it) and then put moisturiser and SPF (between 15 and 30) on afterwards.
It’s ‘deeper’ than that though. Monday and Friday are now client work days. Tuesday and Wednesday, my writing - Thursday, blogging and coding.
I do whatever takes my fancy, with all spare space automatically going towards writing. I’m deliberatly scheduling the weeks that we don’t roleplay as art/craft/knitting time, so if a game is suddenly cancelled, or we’re not running/when I’m playing in the game rather than running, I can knit. Might not seem all that important, but I do my best thinking while knitting 
Saturday, Sunday, Thursday and Friday evening are time for me to either write, roleplay online, or both.
I think it’s a schedule that should work.
