Older and louder, I guess!

Hey sweetpeas! I live! I am very tired in my emotions, so my ability to do things and talk to people has just... Stopped? But I live! It was my birthday last week, I am officially an even older fandom auntie than I was! I had to go to work in the morning, but Lex baked me a birthday cake and bought me a copy of Promare! A+++ afternoon and evening, got to nest and cuddle. (Theoretically my mum is going to drop off my presents from the family over half-term, but there's a really high chance that Greater Manchester is going to be locked down by then, so... Mum no?)

I saw a thing going around twitter positing that people aren't getting the deadline stress that motivates them through their ADHD anymore because the apocalypse, which makes sense! Definitely matches how I've been experiencing it! I haven't written much of anything since July, probably between the apocalypse and basically lighting my entire diary structure on fire, so I've cracked out the 600 page notebook as the obvious solution. If nothing else, it'll give me an idea of scale!

But yeah, nothing much has really been going on for me! I made a bunch of tiny bag-of-rice handwarmers for people at work because the heating is broken and we have to stand outside for at least half an hour each day, and we found out that the reason the plant room in the (multi-million pound) (award-winning) (toured by architects for ?reasons?) library floods the back offices is literally just that the drain is in the highest part of the room and the doors are in the lowest! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And someone apparently left the automated "mark books as missing after sixty days" process running during lockdown, so I've been going through those! There is something incredibly satisfying about waiving off £400+ replacement fees, okay, it's great. Halls of residence being locked down on campus because of covid exposure: less great.

Apart from that, I've been playing Legend of the Phoenix and Arknights and reading a lot of dubious Scum Villain fic because apparently eight different smut/kink/??? challenges are going on this month. Hope you're all okay! ♥
