These days I am:
· Drawing, drawing, drawing.
· Working on my daily diaries: https://www.ericafustero.com/project/daily-drawings
· Looking for client work.
· Selecting photographs for a zine.

It would be nice to stop feeling guilty for e v e r y t h i n g I do.
I guess my daily entries are just as moody and gloomy as my weekly entries because I'm not feeling so cheerful these days. Highlight of the week: reading on the seafront.

Two days in a row sleeping 9 hours: Success. I guess it's time to start using the alarm clock again.

Finally managed to make a selection of photos from the last few weeks in Berlin that I am happy with. I also printed some, which I'm picking up this week. It's been too long since I've seen my photographs in paper and I'm excited. https://www.ericafustero.com/project/berlin-spring-2024

Wondering which thoughts are chemically induced and which are my own.

I don't think these weekly entries are working. I come here on Sunday all moody and gloomy and make it feel like my week was the worst (which is not always the case). The fact that I usually feel down on Sundays is not fair for the rest of the week.

Week 15, 2024
· I spend the week anticipating next week, which means I didn't enjoy myself so much.
· I didn't want to leave but here I am, back home, tired, sad, alone and surrounded by dirty laundry.
Week 14, 2024
· I took too many photos and although I deleted many, I captured some I really like.
· Trying to befriend a crow.
· Cherry blossoms and allergies.
· Every day I ask myself: Is this going anywhere? I am doing it right?
Week 13, 2024
· I'm responsible for feeding two wood pigeons (now named Hilda and Franz).
· I spend half of my days feeling like I'm not doing enough but on Thursday I manage to finish what I intended to do for the week and my mood improves.
· Do you have a favorite cafe in Berlin? I need more places with good coffee where I don't feel like I have to leave the moment I finish my slightly overpriced drink.
· I finish a new sketchbook. / I start a new sketchbook.
· On Sunday I walk, take pictures and smell not roses, but some other flowers. Unfortunately I don't eat ice cream because there is a long line, but I will take revenge.
Week 12, 2024
· I remember that listening to music usually feels good, so I do that.
· I don't have the same luck with reading and watching movies. Maybe next week.
· I really enjoy drawing on paper but scanning and cleaning the originals, not so much.
· Traveling planning takes most of my mental energy.
· Writing these words from Berlin. It's cold, windy and rainy but I missed being here.
Week 11, 2024
· Felt bad about all sorts of things I said / didn't say, did / didn't do.
· Felt good being aware that some of the things I felt bad about are just in my head. Then felt bad about that.
· Failed to make any substantial progress on any of my on-going projects.
· Made some poor eating choices.
· Being surrounded by people with whom I share some of the same silly worries makes me feel less sad, but it makes me sad that they are also going through this.
· Saturday became National Coffee Shop Tour day.
· Where did my week go?
Week 10, 2024
· Felt anxious about anxiety.
· Paid money to be told things I know I should do but fail to put into practice.
· Made a new friend :)
· Work-wise it was a fairly productive week.
· I read a lot and watched a few movies, most of which I liked.
· Saturday started quite explosively.
· Sunday ended up hurting, but in a good way.
