Hello, I have a mad busy day of work meetings, cleaning and packing as the house sitters arrive this evening and we leave for the airport tomorrow morning. I’m trying to take mini breaks between tasks to breathe but I’m feeling super stressed. I’ve just chewed a CBD gummy, hoping that will help.

Just gotta keep chugging through and ticking things off the list…

What’s your day looking like?

I have access to my projects!! It’s only taken most of the day and about 10 emails back and forth with the IT helpdesk. I’m too exhausted to open up a new project at this point in the day. Anyway, it’s all good. I’m celebrating by having a piece of cheese

@danny oh no I hate WCAs and PIP assessments, I hope it’s not stressful. Just bombard them with diagnoses!

Good morning, I really struggled to wake up and I was trapped in a horrible dream which has left me feeling awful. Tom helpful said “it’s just a dream” but my mind can’t believe that.

A funny day of different things ahead but I don’t feel enthusiastic about any of them. I’d rather go back to sleep and try to reset my brain but I have the IT guy ringing in an hour.

Wish I could just shed the horrible feelings.

How are you this morning?

Just seen a video of my baby grandsons (cousins, 4.5 months and 2.5 months) being held in the same lap and holding each other’s hands. Cuteness overload!

I stood up for ONE SECOND #mastocats #CatsOfMastodon

Good morning! Today is about trying to get my IT woes sorted on laptop 1 for my research officer job, while attending training for my PhD on laptop 2. Feels frustrating. The training should be really good, it’s on autoethnography, which is ethnographic research on and by the researcher themselves.

What will your day look like?

@danny Deffo! How’s you today?

Just got some nice feedback on my work from my PhD supervisor

What do you think would happen if I stood up in this train carriage and shouted, “Right! Which one of you is playing your music out loud?”

Not liking the people crowing about Angela Rayner’s departure. Why is one working class woman held to higher standards than the Tory and Reform fat cats who employ “wealth management” consultants to deliberately minimise the tax they pay? Some people’s schadenfreude is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
