• Long Covid Week — 120
• Above is how I've decided I'll note that my Long Covid is ongoing and a big (bad) part of my life, despite anything nice I might mention. The pandemic is ongoing.
• Thankful for UK Traitors and Severance for giving me things to schedule and fixate on.
• Not entirely satisfied with the end of UK Traitors this season but I still massively enjoy the show. My one reality tv fix unless The Repair Shop and Antiques Roadshow count.
• I'm getting a studio space! Sharing a very small flat (even when in love) plus upstairs neighbours that make too much noise has pushed neurodivergent-me to the limit of the limit that ill-me was already balancing on.
• I can’t believe I didn’t think about it earlier, options for safe spaces to breathe for hours—besides home—are almost nil.
• I’m looking forward to making a mess and making things just to make things and hopefully finding some peace and having nice walks to and fro.
• The UK doesn’t have as good of online pen shops as the US has in jetpens.com, this is frustrating. (And JetPens has terrible UK shipping, which I’m sure is the UK’s fault not theirs.)
• All of the sudden, after years of no issues, a new Pilot Hi-Tec-C .25 (the best) pen started to feather with highlighters. It’s driving me mad and so now I’m trying to test all the extra fine needle nose gel pens I can.
