i think my screen-time will be back up a bit this week, as i've had a few days where i've scrolled more on instagram or tiktok because i was a bit more stressed out than usual. and today i spent a ton of time on my computer browsing pinterest, aggregating wedding inspo.
it's been surprisingly easy not to curse very much, though it's fascinating how quickly it comes back when i hear other people cursing, either with friends or in music or in a show. i don't really feel the difference when i'm not cursing, but all of a sudden when around it again, i'm like, woah, those are strong words! it feels like they've regained their power after years of dilution. which feels like a good thing!
oh, this isn't lent-related but just remembered (because i was thinking about how my fiancé and i sometimes disagree about what counts as a swear word): my fiancé taught me an english phrase recently that i had somehow never heard! he said, "well, that's all she wrote on the anti-histaminies!" and i fell befuddledly silent, trying to parse what in the world came out of his mouth.
apparently, "that's all she wrote" is a very common phrase! and in america, no less (sometimes when he says an english phrase i'm unaware of, like "washing up liquid," it's some weird british usage). then we were at an audrey hobert concert on my birthday (it was so fun!), one of her lyrics was "i guess that's all she wrote," and my fiancé immediately turned into the leo dicaprio pointing meme.
one more lent thing, we starting not eating meat on fridays! today we tried a new vegan indian place and it was gut und günstig.
