April 30th 2020 Today, shoutout to the six people who text me this morning to see if I’m doing okay. I know the last few blogs have been pretty whiny, but I didn’t mean to make anyone worry that I … Continue reading Password

Nonsense
April 29th 2020 Today I tried to go to sleep without writing anything but it didn’t work. Then I tried to write some jibberish nonsense but it made too much sense and gave too much away. So instead there’s this. Until tomorrow, I don’t know what to do. Jacn Continue reading Nonsense
Private
April 28th 2020 Today I’ve been thinking about making this blog private. Because, you see, I don’t really tell the truth on here any more. For every highly filtered, roughly edited story I do tell, there’s another that I just completely suppress. I don’t say exactly what I’m thinking. I drain my thoughts through a sieve and only allow myself to talk about the safe topics. I can’t talk about work like I’d want to because my boss reads this, and my boss’s boss reads this. And although I am overly honest with them about my personal life, I can’t … Continue reading Private
Contemplative
27th April 2020 Today idk man I’m just feeling contemplative. And it’s hard to describe. I think it came from watching this iPlayer series, Normal People, which is, like, good and stuff. Words. Description. Et cetera. And so it goes. … Continue reading Contemplative
Questionmaster
April 26th 2020 Today it was my turn to be question master at the Weekly Maths Boys Quiz Thing™. That trademark changes every week. It’s quite a soft trademark. I don’t think I’ll win any money from people infringing that … Continue reading Questionmaster
Balcony
April 25th 2020 Today it was an almost unfairly nice day outside. Far too nice a day to be stuck inside on lockdown. Warm enough that I considered spending £249 on one of those Dyson fans that no one really … Continue reading Balcony
Flatmate
April 24th 2020 Today I cooked a couple of steaks to celebrate my flatmate moving back in. About a month ago, around when lockdown started, he moved back to his parents’ house. At the time he was classified as high … Continue reading Flatmate
Toni
April 23rd 2020 Today I bought a pizza that was too big for me. It would have been too big for two people. It would have been too big for two people if they were also having it for breakfast … Continue reading Toni
Muscles
April 22nd 2020 Today I have the kind of muscle ache that reminds me that I’m doing something right. The muscles hurt because they’re not used to being used and all of a sudden they’re being put under all kinds of stress. And they’re mad at me, but they’re also glad for it. My muscles ache and my heart is pumping again. It’s not debilitating, or painful, it’s just a gentle reminder that they’re still there. Like, you’re suddenly once again aware that you can feel it because you haven’t for so long and you’d forgotten what it feels like. … Continue reading Muscles
Validated
April 21st 2020 Today I ran again. Do you remember when I ran? No? Me either, barely. It’s been a while. Off the top of my head I’ve ran twice since I got back from holiday in February. I ran … Continue reading Validated
