*Joy of missing out

Do not like the new Signal icon colour.

It wasn’t working and I switched it off and on again, and it worked.

Hit read all on my rss feeds today. Time to start again.

A small book about a boy whose parent who’s sick, with a fantasy turn. I will be thinking about this for a long time I think.

feeling stressed and overwhelmed,
despite nothing specifically happening today,
I guess it’s just it’s just the weight of everything.

I put them down, because out is better than in

• Saving the last episode of Ludwig and the new episode of Shrinking.
• I ‘think’ the new vpn is fine now. I might now know how I made it work, but I know that it works. Also, buying an access point that was entirely in Chinese wasn’t the best idea - but that works too.
• Going away for the night camping. I am glad because I want to spend time with the family but also sad, since it means I won’t get any time to myself this weekend.
• Something happened at school minutes after the final bell and which had to be dealt with and which will now roll over to Monday. It’s in my head.
• We had parents in to share the kids work and I was very stressed but it was lovely.
• Still failing to out exercise my diet but doing so with no regrets.

First G-Shock.

On a slightly related note. What wrist do you wear your watch? I’m right handed but always wear it on my right. Learning that’s unusual.

Some great stuff on this. There’s just something about Underworld’s Born Slippy that still makes me stop.

I either get it or I don’t, the four tries often ruins me.

Phew.

I’m not sure what it says about me that I love Shrinking, so so much.

In other news @robgreen.bsky.social MADE ME buy my first G-Shock… (GA-B2100MF). Definitely his fault. I am blameless.

Spending the morning looking at new ways to get a vpn running at home… It’ll definitely save me money but won’t save me time.

Catching up on Bake Off

It’s Friday, the day where I try to be present in my job as a Year 1 (Kindergarten) teacher instead of terrified of all the things I feel I should be doing or that I’m not doing well enough.

Up

Getting back into it with some back squats. 15-10-5 at 75-80-90kg. Last set felt pretty good, body had warmed up a bit, especially my knees.
