Weird day today. Trump is president of the US again - the next four years are going to be unbearable.
No TA again - looks like she's got flu/covid. Class were hard work today - chatty, not listening etc. Got me down a bit.

Went to church this morning then came home and worked all day. Only took breaks to eat, swap the loads of laundry over and watch Call the Midwife.
Paid off though - all lessons planned for the week and most of the evidence for our accreditation is collated.

More snow fell overnight which made for a slow commute to work.
Class are behind where they should be cos I've been off. Kids were excited to have me back though, so that's a bonus.
Tired. Been in bed since about 9 watching Call the Midwife & setting up my new iPad.

(4th Jan. Slightly late.. again. Oops!)
Helped Dad take down his outside Christmas decorations this morning. Went food shopping this afternoon.
Very cold day today. Snow started about 10pm. Hoping it sticks but that the roads are clear by Monday morning.

Last year, I came across a diary from 1964 in which my great auntie Alice chronicled her day in short entries, usually just 3 or 4 sentences.
Been toying with replicating the idea on social media & the new year seemed like the ideal time so I present... @ruthsdailytweet.bsky.social

Saw in the New Year with P, E, J and Dad. Slept late then we drove to the Lake District. Lucky enough to see the Northern Lights.

When you're accosted by a woman in the supermarket who asks what colour hair dye you use as she wants it, and then she looks really disappointed when you tell her it's just your natural colour... #WhatIsMyLife? 🤷🏼♀️ 😂

"Moana 2 is just a cash grab!"
Yes that's how businesses works, you make something you know people would pay money for.
Also, you know nothing of cashgrabs, I was there for Aladdin 2 The Return Of Jaffar.

Used to beg my parents for lights outside the house at #Christmas when I was a kid. Never got them. Now I'm an adult, Dad's going all out with the festiveness!!

Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.

Fanfiction doesn't require constructive criticism unless expressly asked for by the author, and if you're rating a fic out of 10 in the bookmark - DON'T. Fanfiction is written and posted for free, you're not a literary reviewer and AO3 isn't fucking goodreads. This is evergreen advice. Pass it on.
