September 29th 2020 Today I’m in desperate need of a new pair of running trainers. For the first time in my now 149-day streak of running 5k every day, my feet are starting to hurt. It’s a dull ache on … Continue reading Trainers

September 28th 2020 Today I feel weirdly more sure of myself. No idea where it’s come from. Not complaining, either. On one side, I feel more confident that I can make happen at work the projects that may once have overawed me. In work, and in life, I feel like I hold more conviction in my, well, convictions. I’ve kind of felt like a passenger for a little while, but now I think I’m just going to make my own decisions. Mad, that. It’s happened in like maybe the last 7 hours. I think I believe in myself. I believe … Continue reading Sure
September 27th 2020 Today, some media recommendations for you: First, watch “I’m Thinking Of Ending Things” on Netflix, but please promise me you won’t look up so much as a description of it if you do. I went in thinking it was a traditionally trashy romcom and oh boy was I wrong. When I was watching it, I actively disliked it, but I kind of couldn’t stop watching it. Nothing made any sense at first watch, and I was left incredibly confused and mostly disappointed by the film until I watched a review of it on YouTube that pointed out … Continue reading Recommendations
September 26th 2020 Today we headed to Sebz for tapas. It’s all you can eat, which usually means you sacrifice on quality in order to eat more. And, well, that’s basically what the case was. You could just keep asking … Continue reading Sebz
September 25th 2020 Today I had a real lightbulb moment, where I really broke a lightbulb for a moment. And then I broke it forever, too. Actually, it was broken forever after the first moment, but I just wanted that … Continue reading Lightbulb
September 24th 2020 Today I struggled to motivate myself to work from home. We’re on this ‘voluntary basis’ right now, and no one volunteered to go in today. And so because no one else was going in, I chose not to either. I didn’t want to be in the office alone. That’s almost worse than working from home. I think because I’ve been in the office basically every day for a month, I’d begun to readjust. But yesterday was the first day I’ve worked at home again in, well, yeah… almost a month. I just said that. Anyway. Transitioning from … Continue reading Readjust
September 23rd 2020 Today we’re back to ‘working from the office on a voluntary basis’ after BoJo’s latest guidance on preventing the spread of coronavirus. I was barely through the second two weeks of the new “two weeks on two weeks off” schedule at the office, and now we’re back to ‘on a voluntary basis for those who find it difficult to work from home’. I find it difficult on a personal level, so I’m going to continue to volunteer to go into the office until someone tells me that I can’t. Except for today when I involuntarily woke up … Continue reading Volunteer
September 22nd 2020 Today I turned twentyseven. Despite everything, twenty six was actually one of my best years. I moved into my own place, I went to New Zealand on the holiday of a lifetime, I got promoted, I moved into my own place when my flatmate moved out, and I fell in love. All in all, that’s a pretty successful year, no matter how any of that turns out. Really, 26 was good, even though for a full six months of it we weren’t allowed to leave the house. The news of the day is that we’re almost starting … Continue reading Twentyseven
September 21st 2020 Today I’m happy wth the new adaptation to my running regime. I’m still running 5k every day, but now I’m going to be doing maybe 3 of those runs a week with my boss. She’s looking to … Continue reading Regime
September 20th 2020 Today was a good day. Mum and Dad took me out for a birthday-ish brunch with my sister, her boyfriend, and my niece. Sophia is my other sister’s baby, and Genine wasn’t there, but I guess half … Continue reading Brunch
