1) My car is fixed!
2) I had to drop my car off at the garage this morning then walk into work. It's about a 20 minute walk. I listened to a podcast on the way and it was a really lovely time. Walking back to collect it this afternoon, it was raining, but that was actually kinda fun, not gonna lie
3) After I was the dishes then pull the plug out to let the water drain, *usually* this little whirlpool forms and I like to watch it. My favourite part of washing dishes lol. -
I’m going to try and get myself out for a walk today. Feels like recently my world is shrinking down to being at work, being at home, and going to supermarket - but only after work when I know it’s going to be quiet. I’m sure there’s a wonderful world out there but it feels overwhelming.
I have my weekend, maybe just a walk on my own might help, potentially with a podcast to take my mind from where it probably wants to go.

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts, I’ve had a bad cold among other things that had me feeling really miserable. However
1) my cold is nearly gone! I got a proper nights sleep and feel reasonably well today
2) I worked from home today. Got the important jobs done while I had that extra bit of quiet and being able to think
3) I don’t need to be anywhere or do anything for the next couple of days. I can stay in bed, read, drink coffee, take my time as much as I want because there’s nowhere I need to be

1) Some more nice heavy rain today. Still waiting on some thunder and lightning though!
2) Made chilli, then portioned it out and put it all in the freezer for easy meals over the next couple of weeks
3) Got some Kraken black cherry and vanilla today and it is LOVELY -
I forgot to post this yesterday evening so this for yesterday really:
1) making coffee in my aeropress
2) I got **all** the washing done
3) Bought Cities: Skylines and played for a couple of hours and had fun. It was in the Stram sale so I feel that even if I don’t pick it up again I’ve had had fun and won’t feel guilty about wasting my money -
Been fancying playing #CitiesSkylines for a little while. Launched a rocket in Factorio so thought I'd take a break, and I've been looking for something similar but different.
Turns out it's in the Steam Summer Sale right now - yay!
I install it, run it, it immediately crashes. Try the usual stuff, verify game files, restart laptop, still crashes.
Google a bit, and find this oddly specific fix: uninstall Citrix Workspace. Flippin' heck I actually still have that installed on my laptop from when we started working from home in 2020. Uninstalled that, Cities: Skylines runs!
I've never seen such a specific answer like that to a problem and have it actually be the exact thing that fixes it for me. I'm going to have to have a cup of tea and sit down

So, from today I won't be wasting time on Reddit on my phone anymore. That's good I guess?
I already had it stripped right down to just a few little subreddits that I liked to visit, and I think I managed to find somewhere either here on Mastodon or on Discord that will do the same thing.
Haven't found anywhere that likes to talk about more minimalist bullet journaling yet though. I'm sure there'll be somewhere!
