Mentally all over the place at the moment. So just glad to have done it after spending 30minutes not starting.

So cool 😎

Lays continue to knock it out of the park!
I enjoyed the first episode of Monster Factory on Apple TV+, a documentary about a professional wrestling school in the US. 📺
This was a brief highlight but I feel dead inside and being told that there’s just over a week left isn’t cutting it anymore.
Finally got around to ordering photos for my photo a day album.

So late to this but, obviously, love it.
Two more episodes of Silo… Still curious about the first Sheriff! 📺
New Craigh Mod pop-up newsletter coming Friday! Always enjoyable.
I don’t have the shirts of any real teams but I now have one of a fictional team!
Ep 6 of Silo on TV+! Ooooooooooo 😯
In the meantime I’ve started reading this by the same author and really enjoying this as well. First of Bartimaeus Triology. Currently reading: The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud 📚
Enjoying these a lot. Though, reminded me that I’m annoyed that Netflix cancelled it. Anyway, the school library doesn’t have the third, so I’ve bought a copy so that they do.
Finished reading: Lockwood & Co: The Whispering Skull by Jonathan Stroud 📚
Doing a little retail therapy and buying an AFC Richmond shirt.
DJ Spoony - Flowers (Live on the Graham Norton Show) ft. Sugababes - YouTube
Classic UK Garage hits such a specific, moment-in-time memory for me. Of being 18, finishing school and going to university. Have been enjoying Dj Spoony’s Garage Classical album a lot.
But then, in order to make use of the thing, you must also pay a second price. This is the effort and initiative required to gain its benefits, and it can be much higher than the first price.
Got a decent ab workout today… Laughed my way to it.
Keep trying to broaden the music I listen too. In that spirit, I’ve been listening to some of Apple Music’s radio stations. Recently have been enjoying Elton John’s Rocket Hour and Tala Radio.
Paint and calluses.
Took my wedding ring off this morning to put some hand cream on and forgot to put it back on. I normally only take it off to exercise. Keep rubbing my finger and noticing it’s not there. Feels strange.
I don’t want to say burned out, but I’ve been struggling lately. The words floating around to explain it are that I’ve stopped breathing and that I haven’t realised it. I couldn’t get it into a haiku and I’ve not given myself the time to try and put it down. Which has been the problem. As a primary (elementary) teacher, work is “emotionally engaging” and I’ve been finding that too much. Our last term is long, too long, and at the moment it feels neverending. My mind is everywhere but here. It’s in the UK, in the future, seeing my parents for the first time in 3 and a half years. And it’s in the past, the last school year, worrying about choices I’ve made at work - that I’ve done enough, or not enough.
So, yes, new plan. I will do the things I know I should. I’ve been sticking with exercise but am going to add some reading, writing and meditation to it too. In addition to less screen time and more regular bedtimes.
I want to be able to enjoy these last 4 weeks and not just tolerate them as a means to an end.
Wandered down to McDonalds to give Lyra a bit of a lie in.
Still no more Nugget Tetris machine’s unfortunately.
