Slowing growing my origami zodiac animals collection, year by year. We ate dumplings, new year cake which is essentially fried sugar and pancakes because the church used to tax butter or something. Celebration fusion.

I spent about a week doing DIY about three months ago and crashed so badly for months that I had to leave the project unfinished. I just started back in on it a little bit today - about two hours but broken up over the afternoon. Fingers crossed that I haven’t triggered another crash.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I don’t want to post spoilers, but I have a strong feeling that everyone is going to end up alone at the end of this show. And that everyone needs therapy really badly.

Well, the good news is a manager I do get on with and actually respects me is going to try and get me moved to her team, but I don’t know how long that’s going take. Still light at the end of the tunnel that eases my anxiety over this. She is also chronically ill so she really gets it.
Something I wrote quickly in a teams thread has been massively misinterpreted by my manager and blown out of all proportion. She got HR involved because I corrected her on my work anniversary at the organisation. So ridiculous. I think I know what year I started! I’m so tired.

My partner just suggested we watch heated rivalry, so we just binged through the whole six episodes in a day (I’ve seen it. She hadn’t). Her main point of disbelief was Scott & Kip relationship developed at lesbian speed and needed more time jumps. She also wanted more hockey games.

January blues. I’m so house bound at the moment and I’m going a bit nuts. It’s like lockdown but you don’t have enough energy for a nice mental health walk. MECFS sucks. And my partner is going away for the best part of 2 weeks for work soon. Not looking forward to that.

My partner & I have quite different taste in TV but we were finally able to agree on watching ‘When life gives you tangerines’ over the Christmas break. Oh my God, what an amazing piece of storytelling. Kicked repeatedly in the feels but also laughed. Lovely to Beyond Evil alumni Choi Dae-Hoon too.

‘Besotted’

I’ll take it.
Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR word for 2026.

Let's. Go.

The only year in review that I care about is my 2025 StoryGraph wrap up.

I’m properly sick for the first time since my initial illness that triggered MECFS in 2022. I’ve been good at avoiding sick people, crowds & indoor gatherings but saw my niblings earlier in the week & I think that probably did it. Headache, sore throat, muscle aches. Worried about a relapse. #mecfs

Small irritation, but on Viki, they’ve translated a character as ‘Miss’ Shang when she is clearly being addressed as Boss/Owner Shang. She’s worked hard for this business - give her the title! Feels misogynistic. #legendofZangHai

Started #legendofZangHai . Already impressed with the quality and Xiao Zhan hasn’t even shown up yet. kid actors are great and voiced by actual children (bar is low for cdramas in that one).The cinematography is excellent. That first episode goes hard though - what am I letting myself in for?

Finally finished #bloodriver last week. Not to post spoilers but I was surprised both of them made it to the end alive. I was convinced one of them would end up dying for the other.

So grateful to the community that sustains PLRC’s pathbreaking work on Long Covid and related conditions like ME/CFS. Living with an illness that has zero FDA-approved treatments, the first-class research PLRC leads is such a source of hope to me.

Gifts are doubled through the end of the year!

But anyway. It’s #burnoutsyndrome time so at least there’s that.

Having a couple of days where everything just feels too much. I’m very tired and my bullshit tolerance is incredibly low.
