I want to make a habit of journaling. And from listening to the Atomic Habits audiobook, I've learned that every action counts, no matter how small.

So here I am, journaling. This will be a very short entry.

I had a very uneventful day. I'm in the luteal phase of my menstrual cycle, which is almost always a period of fatigue and malaise. I've been feeling really down today. I couldn't bring myself to do my work. Tried to go for a walk around 5PM, but I turned around because it was 90 degrees and bright outside.

I'm feeling very achey and bloated. My shins are sore from yesterday's leg workout, and my two mosquito bites are swollen and itchy. Just another day in luteal.

Oh, and it's my ex's birthday. Unfortunately I'll never forget that.

Goodnight.
