Work weekend away was far more civilized than in previous years, in spite of being on a weekend when you'd think they'd go even crazier. Or I managed to avoid all the drama- either was it was AWESOME. I herded DUCKS and held a duck and pet pygmy goats and now I'm totally shattered. Worth it! #byme

Urge to quit job, live on cheap noodles, and just focus on writing grows stronger every day. I think this year I start booking time into my calendar every week just for writing. I need the structure. See also: chires and renovations. If I don't start scheduling it, nothing will happen!

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:
A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

Tree's up! Earliest we've put it up in... ever? Normally we're so busy it's a last minute situation, and we rarely get to do it as a team. We did the tree to Xmas music, and then watched the new Knives Out, wrapped presents, and have had the cuddliest evening! #byme

Husband Marc was on tv again. He's a cutie, but they only showed the dame on the 1st show- before his look was finalized. Bit of a disservice!
Show did a fantastic job making Warwick Castle look magical. I feel lucky <3
You'd never know the amount of drama that went on behind the scenes.

Had the most epic facetime with family members from three different states all at once. It was chaos and joy and helped make me feel a lot better about being all the way over here on Thanksgiving. I have really funny relatives and I love them loads!

I know working out is good for me, and it's only been a couple of weeks, but everything is ouchy, and my knees are more mad than ever. 😭
I'll keep going, it'll get better. Ugh.

Going through the stray cat "leave me alone" stage that I do sometimes, which is unfortunate because I made a whole bunch of plans before it happened. I've been extra quiet in general in the internet compared to my usual as a result.

I always take Halloween off of work, but this year all my plans - including seeing a friend visiting from overseas- have been cancelled because the flu shot has made moving around a nightmare. I'm gutted, & will never schedule it so stupidly again. Been in bed for days. Mental health suffering

NHS sent me the usual notice that it was time to get flu/covid jabs. Put it off a few weeks til I had time off from work. Bad idea. Requirements changes and I no longer qualify for covid. -_- absolutely crushed. I've had them from the start due to my heath issues, feel very abandoned.

Laddered these tights sometime between this photo and getting home, too. Didn't even notice til the car ride home, was having too much fun. Those wrestlers really are bloody brilliant. #byme
We've gone to every one of their Warwick shows, and a couple elsewhere, too. I absolutely adore them, they're a really wonderful bunch who deserve all good things. Always have the BEST time, and my voice suffers the next day for it. Worth it! #byme #FFW #wrestling

I forgot to call dentist again, but I DID talk to the pharmacist about some eczema that's been flaring up and athlete's foot, and got something for those, so taking it as a win.
I know you all follow me for more exciting health updates of an immunocompromised mess 🥴

I maaaay have cracked a tooth on a sugar lollypop. Because of COURSE I did. No real pain or increased temperature sensitivity, just a persistent deep weird feeling and a visible line in the enamel, so will call dentist tomorrow and see when I can get a last-of-the-day appointment. No big rush

Been trying not to look at socials much lately because I've not had the energy for how awful the world continues to be, so stuff got more complicated locally, instead. Ugh.
Just keep telling myself it could be worse, and keep truckin

Oh shoot, I haven't even begun to consider I might need a costume this year if I get to head to London to see my visiting friend at the end of the month!
(Price of lodging + trains might be prohibitive, but I am remaining optimistic)

It's cold. Trying to write and my hands are frozen. I give in. The heating is now on! It's been 11c for hours, and I've no doubt if I was bundled in bed I'd be fine, but if I want to sit up in the living room typing all night I'm going to need some warmth!

I'm pleased to report that lightning strikes the same place twice. Once again I engaged someone who replied critically to a comment of mine in reasonable discussion & it ended w/ them apologizing + wishing me well. Feels SO much better than just name-calling. There IS hope. We have to hang on! #byme

I have to remind myself sometimes I can't logic my health better. Yes, I was only sick a couple of weeks ago, & I was already burnt out not too long before that, & I'm so far behind in things I'm doing, & I already took multiple nights to literally sit + read in a dim room to heal. Still ill #byme
