If there is a single complaint I have about my personal space downstairs, it’s that the morning light is strong through my window for the first half-ish of the day. I have a hairclip that I use to keep the blinds closed, but I often forget to resecure it before the next morning comes. I’ve now done so, so yanno, take… Read more »

I love having my broken-ass brain. I love that the first thing I think when seeing a box on the table is ‘ooh, I bet I can get that on my head’. Sassy, innit. It’s been an alright day, all told. I feel like I’m starting to turn my workload around, after not making any real headway last month. This… Read more »

My order of stamps arrived most promptly, and now my postbook is replete with postal goodness. I then took a moment to be pleased at this being my unexpected inheritance from my father-in-law; Mum gave it to me because she knew I could use up the stamps for my shop. She kept back some of the first and second class… Read more »

Z did us a lovely Sunday roast for this, the Sunday dinner. He doesn’t always do a roast, but I’m down for one most any day of the week. I like the staple pyramid of meat-potato-carrot (with bonus Yorkshire), and plenty of gravy. I was extra pleased with the portioning, as it felt like there was just a smidge more… Read more »

Had our monthly visit from the Covid testing folx. I successfully bled for the antibody test, though I’m grumpy at how slow my finger flow was. Ah well, I got it done, and just as he finished doing everyone elses’ test surveys. The only other thing of excitement is the new breadbox we ordered came in. Flat-packed, like so many… Read more »

Another session with the declutterer, another section of our house more useable. There’s still work to be done here in the small bedroom, but it’s most of the way there. We paired that with reorganising the upstairs cupboard where we keep our Christmas decorations and suitcases, and yeah. The main sticking point is that we had already fully filled her… Read more »

I’m super chuffed — I finally managed to hit level 38 in Pokémon Go; this means I can finally submit Pokéstops. Which means I can try my luck seeing if anything near my house might be interesting enough to be approved, ha ha. This is an old postal marker (or telephone marker, I think is the actual deal now), and… heh…. Read more »

It was a rather wet day today on the whole, and I had to go out in it. Grump? Mini-grump. It was Smaller’s parent/teacher meeting day, and while I honestly would prefer to not be out in person… well. This is one of those things that leaving the house is worthwhile. Kiddo is doing fine, a couple of small suggestions,… Read more »

I’d gone down the far end of the couch to annoy Poison with pets, so Z took some photos. There’s even a little video clip; we didn’t take any of Batman that I can recall, so we’re not going to make that mistake again. We, admittedly, attempt to film Poison with some frequency, because we very much want to get… Read more »

I’ve been a bit anxiety-spiky the last day or two — so rude. I’m also missing my best boy a lot right now. I know grief isn’t linear, and we literally just buried him last week, but still. Sometimes being a real girl and having real feelings gets old sometimes. That’s about it, really. Just feeling tired and generally existing…. Read more »
