Reading, writing, glittering, sighing. That’s me.
Books read so far this year: 2.5 (one I had started last year). Think I need to calm down 🤣

In a video I just watched someone owned a cat spotter notebook, and upon seeing it I instantly felt that it’s the sort of thing @perilmild.bsky.social should own.

Had a bizarre dream where I went to work and just … lost half the day. Like, it was suddenly 15:09 and I had no idea what had happened, and I hadn’t done what needed to be done for others. So that’s today’s fear.

Brother bought me Vantage (board game) for Christmas. After a lot of “understanding the rulebook” we failed our first mission, taking away mostly that the rulebook is a chaotic mess and hard to follow. The game seems fine but the rulebook is shocking.

Saw a greater spotter woodpecker in the garden this morning; we’ve seen her before but assumed it was a one off but now seeing her again makes us think she must live locally. Definitely female; makes me hope she might have little ones in the future!

Somehow the manager of my manager knows my name. I blame my (wonderful normally) previous colleague for this; I am not sure being known in person (rather than via email only, which is how I’d previously thought the boss had known me) is ever a good thing.😩

Somehow I have ended up with 5 advent calendars (3 chocolate, one biscuit and one paper) this year. I’m not sure how this has happened, but I won’t complain 🤣

I think there should be a ban on radio shows discussing spoilers for shows from the night before. Some people get in late & can’t watch & then get woken up at 6am with someone spoiling the traitors for them while they’re half asleep? Not on.

Prime has warned me that it’s removing Daria soon (3 days) so I’m now binge watching s1 to make sure I get to enjoy this before it goes; reliving my teenage years.

I regret choosing to learn about power pivots. I keep rereading this one section and my brain just refuses to follow it.

I have been officially informed that the Black Forest hot chocolate has returned to Costa, and it has reminded me I have a lot of lovely hot chocolate to try from @perilmild.bsky.social - apologies that I’ve not done so already, I feel they got put away after Xmas. But now is the season for them!

When my dad passed, I briefly got really into Hanjie, only to then immediately become frustrated with it and fall back out of love with it because it is super hard. But we found the books from that time today and I thought I’d try again. The update from this? I still find it incredibly hard. 🤣

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness: (technically this is three but Rick and vyvyan alone are hard to get gifs of)

Bought some Barbie patterns from Etsy (older patterns) and mistakenly believed “factory folded” implied uncut, that’s on me. But man I wish people would say if they have cut the patterns out. I dislike cut patterns. I like my patterns all on one sheet and then I trace them out.

Apparently my reaction to ongoing stress is to go into Etsy and find uncut Barbie clothes patterns that I don’t have and purchase them at one am. I’m not sorry; but I’m pretty sure I should actually make some of these patterns instead of just buying them…

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

This is a relief but I’m sure this won’t result in any new Barbie pattern packs in the future. I wish they’d reprint some of their older ones - this indicates they’ve bought all the historical patterns and those would be included! Barbie is still very big atm since the movie; jump on that chance!
Good news for sewists: the paper pattern company feared lost to bankruptcy has been saved as an independent company.

Currently going through some stuff relating to my car that is a constant tug on my PTSD. In the words of the feeling, I thought it was over but it’s not.
Yeah, even quoting that song didn’t lift my spirits about it, which is a sign I’m just so over it atm.

Frustrated that despite pre ordering @lucyjanewood.bsky.social’s new novel, Amazon can’t manage to deliver it on the day of release. I’m so disappointed.

Managed to follow these absolutely awful instruction images to create a “beauty bag” from Aldi. There are no instructions other than these photo images, clearly from a video that it does not reference anywhere. Feel proud it’s done but man, instructions should have words?!

I love my neighbours dog, but I do not love when they go away and leave her behind and she cries all night like a fucking banshee so I can’t get any sleep. A week of this may kill me. Fucking take your pets on holiday with you.
