Ramadan Day 12

[probablynotnicknelson]

Had a strong start today working on a photography project followed by getting very little else done. Really struggled today to adapt to the need to get things done pre 2 PM so that I wouldn't have to juggle feeling hungry, dwindling energy levels, and doing work. Alas. I'll have to try again tomorrow. Unsurprisingly my rep voted in favor of continuing to withhold UNRWA funding so that got added to my call lineup. Had to express my disgust (though never surprise at this freaking point) and warn my senators not to follow suit. Still dealing with interpersonal tension that I now have a better grasp on how to approach but am very afraid to attempt approaching.

Have been thinking about this poem today that my friend sent me overnight. It really landed especially with what I'm feeling this week. Hoping that with some time and care I'll start feeling akin to this again.
