Two underappreciated things when working from home. Using up leftovers, and giving the face a little break from makeup.

Were you looking for these @darach.bsky.social ?
Someone was talking about these Kilkenny caterpillars but not sure if I'm remembering correctly.
We are wondering what butterfly or moth will come from them.

I very rarely pre-order books, but I am beyond excited to have received this on publication day!
Hope the kids will understand my "do not disturb" look.

€95 for 1st dose of chicken pox vaccine!! For babies born since October it's included in childhood vaccine schedule. For those of us footing the bill ourselves, employers should be very grateful. Currently tearing through my older kid's childcare. Lucky not to be struck with 2 weeks home with it.

People always joke/console "you can enjoy a hot cup of coffee", when you finish maternity leave. The coffee is good but 10 or 15 minutes of uninterrupted reading is the best.

Back at work, round 2. Is it easier this time or am I more battle hardened to multiple night wakes and bed hopping? Sleep deprived, dehydrated, over-caffeinated. Trashing Mr's immaculate WFH space. Spending far.too.much on coffee and food having been on unpaid leave for far.too.long
