Got home to the most annoying of all the noises! The peeping smoke alarm! And it was not the alarm I thought it would be. No. It was the one riiiiight at the top of the stairs I am too short to reach 😭
Had to go make pitiful faces at Next Door. He got to be gallant, I got my battery changed. Win win

God, the news is just an unending cycle of shit these days, innit?
Like watching the pathetic twitching of a cockroach that hadn't realised it's dead yet.

Also!
That was tricky but fun. Probably would have been easier on a piece of felt; it doesn't lock together consistently so does try to slide away. You can tell it's not the *highest* quality but a fun way to whittle away an evening in front of the telly.

Bugger me, I have been SO GOOD this week. I have walked to/from work every day except for yesterday's torrential downpour, I have eschewed boredom snacking, and I have been drinking my damn water.
Dunno what's come over me.
(It's gonna come off the rails at the weekend, mind, you mark my words)

In the spirit of "You don't get what you want, you get a third option, bitch" I would laugh so hard if the people of Greenland unilaterally declared themselves Canadian.

Also! I have my Wednesday afternoon swim time back! Whoop whoop! Flexible working at dep't head's discretion, cause Mopsy told him about the physicist's budgie smugglers disturbing my Sunday and he couldn't stop laughing.

So since the merger the college now owns a farm for agri tec students, and as staff we can now buy meat packs when they send animals to slaughter. I'm gettin me some free roaming heritage pig sausages! Hoo yeah!

I dunno, is it not thematically appropriate that a ghastly TERF's mediocre prose be used to illustrate a ghastly mysoginist's indifferent role in a ghastly xenophobe's descent into authoritarianism?
I wouldn't want to pollute a GOOD book with association to any of these people.

Ah, shit, I think I'm a day late cancelling a magazine subscription I thought I had already cancelled but didn't actually check. Fuck's sake.🤦♀️

So anyway, it would have been a lovely Sunday swim of not for the sudden appearance of the Marxist Physicist from work in his teeeeeny tiiiiiny bright blue budgie smugglers and OH MY GOD I DID NOT NEED THAT IMAGE IN MY BRAIN.
(Nor do I ever want my flabby booty in HIS brain, thanks.)

Dear body, pack it in. You are NOT peckish. You had broccoli and mushrooms and pork and baked potato like an hour and a half ago. You are bored and overly used to December's snackapalooza.

Since I did groceries today and will probably go clean the bathroom in a minute, that means I can go swimming tomorrow! I have missed the swimmy swim. But work stole our wellbeing flextime cause dickheads were abusing the time off, so I can't do Wednesday afternoons any more :(

Did the grocery run a day early. It's cold but bright and sunny out there today and I know tomorrow is going to be WET so I won't want to do it then.
Spent too much money on fresh fish portions but I'm trying to make better choices than a default plate of beige.

Well, no snow day for me. Just rain. Though Mopsy is picking me up so I don't have to walk in this morning 🥰
However, everywhere else around here is snowed under so half our teachers are working online and I am guessing a fair few students will be absent too. 💁🏻♀️

Also some of our teachers are striking at the end of next week cause something-something not enough pay rise? I don't know. At least one is just using the strike to take a couple of unpaid days off cause they're having childcare problems. Like, dude, you could just... do that anyway?

Healthy bean soup for lunch was both tasty and filling but, whuff, my digestive system is registering its shock at eating something that isn't xmas spiced lard and sugar as a main meal for the first time in 2 weeks... 😅💨
