   👑 Got crown replacement prep done at the dentist yesterday, didn't need anaesthetic, and my flare earplugs worked a treat for reducing my stress about drilling noises.

   📖 Found a good use for the Stray Kids diary that I got with the Seasons Greetings 2025 pack: I've started actually using it as a diary, writing about my day, in Korean. Just a few sentences each day.

   ❄️ Got some more picture frames from IKEA, ahaha my gallery wall cannot be stopped

     @TheOtherDibbler I got the Korean diary idea from this video: https://youtu.be/QqTEJ51FWtQ

     You could probably apply a lot of the same ideas to learning Japanese. Except you'd have to add in time for learning to read kanji (much more time-consuming than learning hangul), which would probably have to bump something else out.

     Earplugs to reduce stress from dentist tool sounds. Why did I never think of that? I use them for shopping and other loud environments, but hadn't ever considered the dentist. Brilliant. I'll keep that one in mind.

     Oooh, another good idea. I'm trying to re-learn Japanese after having learned some in high school and then forgotten most of it, but I am very bad at self-motiviating to do things, even when I want to do them. Keeping a regular diary of just a few sentences a day sounds like a great way to keep up with language practice, and drill common words and grammar into my head.

     I love your gallery wall. 🤩
