Today I ate too much pasta.

I wasn’t feeling optimistic about today and I was incredibly exhausted and slow this morning but in the end I wasn’t late to work and then I managed to Potter through the work day. I could have been more productive, I had some spots where my brain was trying to hurt me but I had Bluejay’s book club stream, chats with my lovely folks, and great new music to listen to and it got me through. I met up with Emily and Bear outside my work once I was done, Bear walked us to the train station and it was really nice to get to see him even if only for a little bit. Emily and I made a little meal planner on the train for while she’s away and then we went and got those groceries from the shops on the way home and then Emily made ravioli and I ate way too much. I hate how reflux and bloating are things I have to deal with note that I didn’t have to think about before and that my limit for “too much food” is way lower than any of my senses will tell me about.

I basically then spent the rest of the evening fiddling with tech stuff while Emily packed for Berlin until we decided to cuddle on the couch to watch the latest Game Of Thrones before bed.

Tomorrow I’m working from home and Dave is coming over for coworking time which I’m looking forward to and then in the afternoon we’ll drop Emily to her dad’s place, ready to fly to Berlin!

Today I explored space on stream from the couch with my wife.

Work today was frustrating because my brain didn’t want to go but I made it through relatively unscathed, even managed to do a load of washing in the breaks. Once I was we popped around to the shops to get caffeine and vegetables and then back home in time to do my makeup and set up the lounge for streaming.

Emily and I Streamed No Man’s Sky for four hours and had an intense but really fun time and we had a fair few people joining in and chat was nice and active which was rad. Afterwards we watched an episode of Madoka and then chilled out to Scum And Villainy vods as I worked on channel art and schedule stuff for my twich and YouTube channels.

Tomorrow is Thursday which is my hump day that I always struggle with and in all likelihood I’ll be stuck in training for the duration of Bluejay’s bookclub stream which has been helping me deal with it for the last few weeks. I’m gonna make sure I focus on self care as much as possible while also trying to keep my productivity up to speed.

Today I struggled on my own.

I was in a super weird place this morning where I had lost my place in my sense of time but managed to make it to work in good time. The morning was all taken up by training that only got completely boring towards the end. After getting morning tea I started working while tuned in to Bluejay’s stream which was really nice even if I wasn’t as engaged in the work as I could be, after the stream ended and I started to spiral and ended up struggling a bunch for the rest of the work day and on the train home. When I got home though Emily was there and Dave hung around long enough for a cup of tea and I got hugs and I felt a lot better. Once Emily’s phone was charged we then got to jump into a group video chat party for Sarah’s birthday where we drank tea and watched all the video gifts she’d been sent and ate cake and it was lovely. Afterwards we climbed into bed and tried to watch Madoka but Emily fell asleep halfway though the first episode we started watching so we declared it sleepytime.

Tomorrow I’m getting up early to do character creation for an upcoming Ryuutama game and then working from home until it becomes tone for No Man’s Sky Couch Streaming times which I am very very super keen for.
