Found out that one of the leaders of a youth group I was in passed away very suddenly and at a young age. I hadn't spoken to them in a couple of years but they were a lovely person who impacted many members of the community. Incredibly shocked.

Had my first "how's it all going" from a friend hearing about the breakup on the grapevine. I dunno, its going.

I survived work.

I’m going to do my Duolingo and have some soup, and then I’m going to bed

If anyone wants to venture outside and look WSW you'll see da Moon with Antares very close and just above it. 🌙 ⭐

I think I've underestimated how much my mood and mental health are impacted by the seasons. It's not that I've felt particularly bad this winter, but that I've started feeling a lot better since Spring has sprung. Sitting outside in the warm sun eating lunch today was like a revelation

Just installed the recomp versions of Banjo Kazooie and Majora's Mask on the girlfriend's steamdeck. Another benefit of actual computers.

A conversation came up at work about handhelds were someone asked, "what's the difference between a steamdeck and a switch?" And it took all of my might to not go on a rant about platforms and OSs

Spent a bit of time on some Definitely Not Priority projects because they're fun and a good portfolio for Other Stuff. I'm looking forward to finishing these off

I would very much like a nap

First post on FB feed is friend's suicide.

Fuck today.

Boss is trying the "hide behind not answering emails" schtick.

Jokes on him, I'm genX. I CAN AND WILL USE A PHONE TO MAKE A CALL

My husband brought in a fan he had purchased for me. I rip in only to find a piece missing. Back to the shop he goes. I'm praying this new one is good because I think he's gonna break.

Man with a fan 🙏

Update: There is no more in stock. I will need to wait 5 days for one to be delivered.

(apologies for double posting)

Dad does have the cursed book Demon Shield! I shall obtain it soon, and commence my re-read and essay writing

Eventually I will upload a video essay to YT, just so it isn't living rent free in the heads of myself and Dad only mwahahahha

Tried to do some bold design for my nails, and middle and ring nails looks like an English moor threw up on them 🤦‍♀️

I found the style of jeans a couple of years ago. Stretch waist, no button/zip (can't stand things tight on my tummy because of a bunch of ready), nice width of leg, short length....I have them in light dark and black (and a couple of the skinny version ). Other than a pair of trackies and one pair of linen fancy pants they are all I wear. And I have just about worn them out.

They are discontinued. I cant get them anywhere. I'm tired boss. I know this is a small thing but I deliberately keep some things simple because I don't have the spoons and it really helps to feel like I look vaguely ok when I feel like crap. 😭😭

So I haven't seen an xmas beetle for a while down here.

Unfortunately this one isn't with us anymore (just found it on the lawn) but surprised to see it:

Didn't realise their little smile from the front.
