I'm so busy and tired but loving work and study. I need to say though, I'm not morally any better now than when I was unemployed and unable to work due to disability. I'm just lucky that my health has changed and I have been able to find sympathetic employers.

Really busy day tomorrow. Get daughter up and out to school. Lectures 9-3, SU job 3-7 (half hour zoom for other job), train to London at 8. Check in hotel at 11pm. Full day of work in London Wednesday then train home ready for lectures and work Thursday. Bloody knackered!

I need to focus. Literally just need to finish off an essay about stuff I'm interested in anyway, and I procrastinated so much that I'm back on bluesky.

Tomorrow, and every Wednesday after (apart from Christmas and New Year) I'm going to do two little online co-working sessions - one in the morning and one in the afternoon, 2.5 hours each. I'm suggesting £1 per session as a contribution to costs (and any left over goes in the brews budget)

Just ate some cheese on toast so fast that I got confused and started looking for the other slice. I had already eaten it.

Argh, my cd is skipping but one of my cats is sleeping on my knee so I can't get up to sort it out. This is an under rated benefit of streaming music!

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

Today has been a clingy day for my orange cat.
He's currently on my knee asleep, so at least he's not in my face.
He's cute though, so I'll let him off...

This is your reminder to get a library card. They have so many services and basically all of them are free.

The problem I have with to do lists is that I put too many things on them, get overwhelmed and give up.
I've started choosing five things at the beginning of the day, including basic stuff like eating. If I complete those I can choose another five, or I can just feel good about the five.

What are your goals for this week? Let's help each other!
Today's intentions:
1. Finish writing piece I was working on yesterday
2. Catch up on housing news
3. Housework (never ending!)
4. Meeting at school
5. Hang out with the kids and cats
That's just five things, easy, right?
I hope so!
