I have posted this before but it was lost to my switcheroo , so in honour of the fact that they added Amsterdam to their reunion tour and I'm going to see them again on Friday night, I thought it'd be good to throw it back up again! I have been drawn in by videos from the current Five reunion tour and it has gotten me all nostalgic and shit, so I'm gonna write about it! I was 10 years-old when…
Today is the 19th anniversary of my relationship with my husband and I'm coincidentally having an incredibly emotional day that my ADHD medication can't seem to touch the sides on, so I figured I'd sit down and write about it. Because even though I'm not a sentimental or romantic person, it's nice to pay attention to all the good stuff you've got going on. We met on a dating site that existed long…
EDIT (27/05/2026): I should have added this days ago at this point, but I got caught up in other things! This game used gen AI to "refine the UI" and add some pretty unnecessary decorative artwork. Please be aware of this if you are interested in playing. On Wednesday last week, my husband sent me a link to a game he called "Moxie content" (he actually used my real nickname, but for consistency's…
I'd been struggling with the changed nature of my job for quite some time. Mostly since the original colleague I was hired to help and practically the entire Sales team left. My new colleague wasn't properly briefed on what I was hired to do, and even after a year of working together, he still didn't quite seem to understand what I could and couldn't do. Add to that a new Sales team working under…
My dog, Moose, started aggressively licking one of his back feet on Thursday. I checked it for any signs of irritation, but I couldn't see anything so I figured it was just a one off itch that would go away. But he continued to lick on Friday and by Saturday, the problem was obvious. The side of his toe bean was raw and the pad was starting to peel. I was worried that it was infected, so after…
As of today, I am no longer a WordPress user! It's crazy to think that almost two months ago, I decided I really needed to stop making excuses 1 and just learn something else to satisfy my desire for a CMS to manage my websites. I originally planned to PHP my own, seeing as I knew a few basics from my ~20 years of tinkering with WordPress, but ultimately ended up learning (very basic) Python which…
I thought I was going to have a bad day today. I had an awful broken sleep last night and assumed my ADHD medication wasn't going to work because of that. A consequence of my ADHD medication not working is task paralysis, which would be made worse by the fact that I have an appointment to take the dogs to the vet at 4pm this afternoon. This is something that happens to me frequently, so it wasn't…
I wrote about learning Python almost a month ago. That entry is now archived, but I thought I should give anyone who was interested in how that's going a little update. I tried a whole bunch of different tutorials to see if I could find something that fit my style of learning until I eventually landed on Coddy . It's a Duolingo-like coding app that guides you through everything, but also like…
I've been watching the Silo TV series recently with my husband who has read the books. He's been pretty good at keeping the spoilers to a minimum, but I'm the kind of person who likes to theorise out loud about things that may happen, so he's had to hold in a lot of stuff as I'm yapping about it. I've not been able to stop thinking about it outside of each episode we watch, and now I'm concerned…
As you may have noticed, I have archived all of the old posts from this blog. They're still available should you happen upon a link to them elsewhere 1 , but they're no longer directly available from this section because I've made the decision to take my penchant for negativity, remove it entirely from this website and give it its own space. I'm not doing this to embrace toxic positivity or…
