The current war in the Middle East is nothing if not surreal. Like, this is the thing that I was told my entire life should be prevented at all costs, and yet. Here we are. Will this start World War III, or will it end up being a damp squib of a war that Trump will claim to have ended?... Read more »
Maaan, did I fall off the wagon here, ha ha. Life has just been… existing. It’s not been bad by any stretch, just… my version of busy, I guess. So, things of interest. I finally got my eyebrow pierced after putting it off for, uh… nearly 30 years? I kept waffling about what side I wanted it on, but eldest... Read more »
I have been doing the generic existing thing; there’s not been a lot spare past that. I had a spell of unexpected bad back pain, which, rude. And then just a higher grade of exhaustion which again, rude. But eh, I’m still alive. That’s always good, ha ha. I’m still doing the things I like, and I’ve got some crafting... Read more »
So uh. I was sitting here earlier, and all of a sudden it felt like someone had turned the gravity up to 11. Like, everything suddenly felt super heavy and like… what the actual? I’m still not sure how to parse it, like… was it pain, or what. I thought about taking pain meds, but I’m not convinced it would... Read more »
I woke up this morning feeling really weak and exhausted, which, rude. Like, with chronic fatigue that’s the baseline, but this was worse than normal. Still, I’ve managed to get a few bits done today, so. Not the fun thing we had on the books, or the out-of-house chore, but hopefully we’ll manage both of those in the next two... Read more »
So yeah, life continued in the Slightly Too Much™ vein for a bit, but now. But now Bank holiday tomorrow, and then we’re booked off work the rest of the week while the kids are in school. So it’ll be nice to have some *proper* quiet around, hee hee. And at least amongst that slightly too much, I got a... Read more »
So yeah, had the video call with my MP. I would have called it mainly good, had I not seen what he’d posted on his Facebook wall later that evening. ¬¬ I didn’t see it until this afternoon, just after I’d sent him a follow-up email with links that I’d intended to give at the meeting yesterday. Between those two... Read more »
Z and I had a wedding reception to attend yesterday, which — we were happy to go, if only for a little bit. It’s fair to say we’re both kind of lump-like today, because leaving the house for a couple of hours is Too Much™® for either of us. But yeah, it was really nice to see a lot of... Read more »
I am doing Entirely Too Much™® this week. First it was emailing the Prime Minister, which wasn’t too bad. Then I got it in my head yesterday that I should book in a video call with my Member of Parliament, so that’s booked for Monday. I’ve even done a wee bit of article herding and added a few notes, though... Read more »
I’m feeling weirdly antsy right now, and I couldn’t tell you why. I guess it wouldn’t be as weird if I could, heh. It almost feels like I’ve forgotten to do something, though I can’t think of anything that I’d forgotten. Which… well, y’all see the circular logic there, ha ha. I’m sure it’ll be fine in a bit, whatever... Read more »
