🎮 Messing around with Island Tune makers for Animal Crossing and made this. Can’t wait to hear Isabelle sing it all out of tune and everything! Hollow Knight Theme

After a crummy two days (actually ringing in sick to work which I never do!) I think #3goodThings are required
1) the support I’ve asked for at work seems to have been heard. Fingers crossed I get it
2) ginger beer
3) I treated myself this evening by making steak, curly fries, mushrooms and peas for myself for tea

Finished reading: This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar 📚 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Technically a re-read, but the first time I read this I wasn’t doing well mental health-wise, and I could only remember a tiny bit it, so in a way this was also a first read?
I really wanted to like it, I remember the escalating letters, and the cool time-traveling and descriptions of these different battles and eras the two characters through, but something didn’t quite stick for me. I am wondering if it’s the writing style? I mean, it’s lovely, very poetic, but maybe it came across as just too clever for me? At times I’m not sure I quite followed what was going on, and I know for a fact that I’ve missed inferences and things in amongst all of the poetic writing.
Still a cool story though, it’s quite short too which, for me, probably worked in it’s favour, getting the story across before I felt bogged down by the language. And I liked the twist a lot, probably not the most surprising twist ever written but it wrapped the whole story up nicely

First post!
I’ve been on Mastodon (@jaymy@universeodon.com) for a little while, but checking out here. I like the idea of less scrolling through a timeline and more focus on me writing some rubbish.
Also looking forward to checking out the bookshelves thing, I’m pretty hopeless at it but I like reading and I like writing down my thoughts about what I’ve read

And leading on from that mopey last post, #3GoodThings!
1) The people I work with are actually really supportive
2) Peace and quiet
3) Things are actually *done* at the moment. So I might feel really tired but it'd be fine to let things slide for a little bit -
I need to stop coming home from work feeling *exhausted*. I know I’m probably not looking after myself when I’m there, starting early, staying late, no breaks, working through lunch, forgetting to even eat half of the food I take in sometimes. I wish I could remind myself to step away from it all for a while (post it’s and reminders don’t work). Some days I’m not too bad at this, other days I’ll be almost literally sat in my chair for 10 hours. I get home feeling miserable as a result, don’t rest enough and I just bring myself a little bit further down every day as the week goes on

Happy with 3 though, did NOT feel confident about that last guess -
It’s Friday, I’ve got three days off and I’m having a takeaway
What else do you need really!
-
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
