Why does it take me three weeks to finish one post?

Hey sweetpeas! I continue to live, I continue to be tired. I've spent the last fortnight or so frantically trying to make my house look less like it's managed by wolves because jilliferium was coming to visit, and then visiting again a week later when my mum came by. Didn't quite succeed, but things are definitely unpacked, there is slightly more visible floor – or at least floor visible in different places – and there was enough space for guests! Ta-daaaaaaaaa.

Visits were fun! There was much capslock, fancy donuts, and jilliferium explaining Stardew Valley to me because I've never played it. Yes I know I'd love it! That's why I've not played it! It would eat my entire life. Caught up on family gossip, showed off the SECRET FLOWER BEDS... It was was very chill! Possibly I should have been more interesting, but honestly I was just happy to see my baby sister. ONE DAY I will be as cool and thoughtful as her. ONE. DAY.

Apart from that: I've been doing more crafting! Just finished making myself some more underwear and got the elastic sewn on beautifully for a change ... So obviously I realised that I made the elastic too loose and now I have to unpick it. orz On the plus side, I've also made my first attempt at patchwork and I think it's really cute. I'm using it as a cover for a doll chair, because I realised after I finished cutting and sewing the foam I was using the upholster the chair... That I should have made the patchwork first... And then sewn it to one big square of foam... It's fine! It looks cute! It was just not accomplished in the way I initially planned!

So yeah, I am okay! Basically living this ADHDinos comic – yes, the continuing adventures of "Area woman regains ability to do things, now has too many things to do" has issued another volume, I'm working on it. Work have officially rolled out their EDI work groups, and I've managed to blag my way into one of them? I'm the only non-manager on the Connection & Belonging team, somehow? So that's going to be fun if they keep with the plan of "we'll schedule the initial get-to-know-you meeting during the busiest week of exams! (◡‿◡)"

Most importantly, I've regained my ability to both read AND consume media that has redeeming qualities! I'm mainly using it to consume trash, but that's not a surprising development. Current rating scale:

• ACTUAL GOOD SHIT: One Cut of the Dead, Train to Busan, Truth and Measure by Roslyn Sinclair, An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon (I'm only halfway through though)


• THIS IS MY HOLE, IT WAS MADE FOR ME: Jennifer's Body, Kaleidoscope of Death, nu:carnival

Anyway, I hope that this apocalypse is treating you all gently, please be safe and be well! <3

Jennifer's Body is SO GOOD, I've always loved it, so happy its particular thing has been revisited by th wider culture.

Unkindness of Ghosts is great and made me feel many things! Have you finished it because I really liked the ending
