Driving down to Portsmouth for an Eid feast ✨

I have fully been bitten by the White Lotus bug. Aimee Lou Wood is really fantastic.

I'm watching Smack The Pony for the first time and cursing myself for waiting this long?? Absolute genius stuff here.

An unforeseen consequence of a random pay cut I got (again, love freelancing) means I probably can't afford to keep my hair bleaching/white hair regime. I'm thinking dark auburn might be nice to try, though.

Coming up to four years of being self-employed and... Cool. Contract would be lush. Can't lie.

Welp, skipping Switch 2 until some exclusive forces me to get one. £400 is a bit steep.

Give me your 'safe' predictions and your 'oh my god it'll never happen but oh gosh wouldn't it be great if it did' for the Direct Mine are 'Fire Emblem 4 Remake' and 'Pokemon Conquest 2'

My old polydrug paper getting a new journal citation is infinitely more satisfying than a review or an article getting a Wikipedia citation, but both are sweet

Such a nice day. London is perfect in smaller doses. I love video games. I love music. I love video game music.

I'm travelling for what is very easily going to be a very fun and nice day but it's also the first time I've travelled alone in almost a year so I'm like, full to the brim with anxiety lmao

I've made a really nice nectarine syrup but with no actual plans for what to use it in. My gut says a citrusy cinnamon roll-style thing.

I didn't see daylight today, but I actually feel really sprightly and... able? CFS is on a weird one.

I am in one of those weird places where despite all the reasons to be upset and stressed and annoyed, I'm actually at peace, happy, and sentimental. I'm putting some of it down to having a wonderful husband, and some of it down to some strong medication. Either way, it's nice to feel nice.

Spent a few hours digging into my old novel plans and drafts last night. I haven't worked on it for seven entire years. It's sad that the PhD and working totally stopped me doing what I enjoyed, but I'm going to make an effort to get back to it. I want to get these stories out of my brain.

I can't remember the last time I went 24 hours without feeling sick to my stomach with anxiety. Things aren't great at the moment, huh?

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma might just sway me into being more of an RF fan than SoS! I really loved my time with it, you can read my full preview here. www.thegamer.com/rune-factory...

I am really missing psychology at the moment. Deep in the "what if I hadn't quit" trenches. I need to find a way to bring it back into my life without it making me want to end it.

I got ID'd today.

People really expected the Outnumbered Christmas special to be just a fun extension of the original series huh I really appreciated the 'where are they now' of it all. The heavy storyline spoke to the family's growth as individuals and as a unit. I thought it was quite beautiful.

Weighed myself (bad) but found out I'm back in the ideal BMI zone (good) and I'm feeling a bit giddy

Everything has been shit and awful lately, haven't been able to feel joy about christmas or the wedding, work has been a misery, can't find joy in anything.. But my mother's operation today went well and it feels like a ten-ton weight has been lifted off my chest, and I cannot stop crying in relief
