I've been through this (in an old job) and it's awful. Craig is a talented writer, video producer and from the times we've briefly chatted has been all around lovely. If anyone has anything out there for him please let him know!

Woke up with lots of energy, went to work. I was surrounded by loads of noise (sensory nightmare), lots of tasks/"hiccups" leaving me with more work for tomorrow. ....and I wonder why I'm so exhausted as soon as I get home. I need a nap but I know I won't sleep and I also have work to do tonight. 😔

After playing a preview of the game I URGE YOU to check out the demo. Wanderstop really is a delight and has made me question my own approach when it comes to ambition, stress and letting myself take things slow. Plus the Pluffins are my spirit animals.

Why can't everyday be like today?

I deserve a treato today right? I can get some work done, hang out with Buri, get my treato and then come back to do more work right? RIGHT? Asking for permission to perform self care and I need your help. 🤣

I had a busy morning, a relaxing afternoon and an unintentional late night getting engrossed with editing a video. Let's hope I'm not too knackered for work tomorrow.

Just some things from today. Matcha, robins bathing and crocus finally popping out to say hello. I guess it's almost Spring.

Obligatory promo of my new video. I'll likely laugh at this next month when the full game is released at how wrong I was about my theories. It was such a fun game and I'm so thankful for @ivyroadgames.bsky.social for sending me a preview code. <3 youtu.be/zhzUHiOT3Ec

Days of Nat 20s and a garden cat. I think these are good signs of time to come.

I'm making a 15 minute video on a game which hasn't been released yet but I already feel quite passionate about. Totally worth it.

I have too much fun with markers in DaVinci. It's nice to be back in the saddle (even with a horrific migraine)

I've saved so much using Gold Points and as a skint person I am genuinely gutted. 🥺 Most of my Switch library is digital because physical is so pricey (even though I'd prefer physical) and I've only get games on sale. Sad times! 😭

I could get used to not working on a Monday AND a Tuesday. I actually feel like I can settle into work tomorrow and relax today. Here's hoping for more freelance and less p/t minimum wage jobs please.

Hi world.

Time to enter wait mode and attempt to avoid the guilt of being late to work because of a house emergency. Now if I WFH then this wouldn't be so bad. 🫠

Expected to be a busy day at work today which means music/Stardew let's play in my ears, green tea and (hopefully) no distractions. I've jinxed myself now huh? 😅

Last night was the first time in actual years where I managed to sleep pretty quickly (and soundly) with only a little bit of anxiety and woke up generally calm. Is this what normal people feel like?

Oh sofa, we really should stop meeting like this. What would the bed think?

Yup.... The Stardew Valley addiction has resurfaced.

Get yourself a parent like mine. Andrew surprised me when I got home after a bad sleep and a stressful start to my work day. He cooked me HAGGIS. HAGGIS. All so I can put it on my pizza tonight. 🥺 He's a good man.

Good late morning world. Anyone else have some weird dreams last night? Not sure if it's because I slept on the sofa but let's say mine involved geeking out over DnD and explaining about Clerics and Druids to a newbie in a very small con. Just sounds like whenever I get the chance to talk about it!

Now for another night of overthinking, anxiety and leg pains for the first time ages. I wish this wasn't my nightly routine. 🙃 It's fine, that's what video games and let's plays are for. ☺️ Time for more Stardew.

After countless visits to the vet I've learned my cat Navi has an infection in her mouth. She's currently staying overnight at the hospital on a feeding tube, an IV and today they're doing a bone biopsy. I’m so sorry to ask this, but I’m financially hurting 💛 More details here ❤️‍🩹 gofund.me/d5af81e7

It's kinda nice having a good night's sleep followed by a lie in. No 7am wake up from Buri after only a couple of hours sleep. He can be a polite bot sometimes... Now to feed his majesty.

Hey hey cozy gamers, granny hobby lovers and those just wanting to live a slower pace of life! I'm looking to make more friends so please come and say hi!

Tonight is a night of resting, possibly playing a laid back game and ideally no phone... If you need me I'll be revisiting my 90s to 2000s mindset.

I'm spoilt for choice with music today. I noticed that Pokémon Legends has been added to the Nintendo Music App, I have my usual Animal Crossing also...or I could listen to Bee and Puppycat. Too many choices help!

Like many of my digital games, I've had Cat Quest on my Switch since I got my Switch and never even launched it. Today I started and completed it whilst still leaving some caves to complete (level 200?!). It was a delight filled with cat puns and silly humour. my first completed game of 2025.

I couldn't sleep tonight so I thought I'd have a wee dram of whisky to honour Rabbie Burns (Robert Burns). I had The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath in one hand (a book I have read COUNTLESS times since I was 15)...

I think I'm in my Run off to a cottage in the woods, living off the land, in touch with my roots whilst still having my nerdy stuff era. A girl can dream.

Did I update my LinkedIn (slightly) out of sheer desperation even though I'm not a fan of the platform? Yes...yes I did. 🙃 Will I check it for updates? ...highly unlikely.
