Had a nice evening out in Cambridge watching @mattgreencomedy.com - go see him if you live near one of the places he's visiting on the rest of his tour, and you like lefty woke clever comedians (which clearly you do or you wouldn't be following me lol)

My water bottle leaked (I failed to secure the lid of my water bottle adequately) and so all my stuff got wet and it meant I couldn't get any work done on this train because I was dealing with wet stuff, and to add insult to injury I forgot to bring my knitting with me so I can't knit to de-stress

Please enjoy this photograph of all the sock yarn I've bought since I said I had too much sock yarn and should knit some of it up before buying any more

Went to the dentist this morning. I, along with every other person in the world, don't floss often enough. But at least now I don't have to think about how terrible a person that makes me, at least for the next six months.

Autistic woman celebrates rare burst of energy by running herself into the ground again

Done quite a lot of experimental knitting stuff lately - I can now load pictures from my laptop to my Brother Electronic machine, which opens up many possibilities for exciting picture knitting. Today though I just fancied something routine so I finished off a pair of stripey socks.

Ok so we're in a pub for lunch. Important context: the pub is called "The Swan". Someone at the next table ordered the Swan Burger... They were asked "chicken or beef?" and I'm so disappointed they didn't say "no, swan!"

Hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday except for the person who designed the little Gaviscon container where the lid is exactly the right size for a Gaviscon tablet to get stuck in it so you can't get it out without breaking the tablet up

Spent a good chunk of this evening trying to fix a broken knitting machine gadget, with the help of my beloved. It's not fixed, but I have some ideas to try, and we both had fun. We're both a lot more mellow when working on projects than we used to be. We both still get frustrated but more calmly.

I find it really hard to tell the difference between existential dread and being a bit dehydrated, so I have a new routine of when I wake up in a cold sweat feeling a sense of doom, I drink some water.
When the demons come, I'll be the first to die, distracted by my water bottle. I'm ok with that.

It doesn't matter how fervently I believe before a game that a point is a good result away from home, when the point is because we conceded in the 98th minute after having to play with 10 men because of an unjust second yellow, I'm going to feel let down :( #sportsball

I just came up with a really great drag name that I'm never going to use so it's up for grabs for whoever wants it: Jaffacakes McFlurry.
In other news, who can guess where I am for lunch today?

OK but why do we just blithely accept that l and I look the same? Why aren't we insisting on fonts that make them Iook clearly different to each other?

I don't know who needs to hear this today but in super hot humid weather it's ok if you don't feel like eating normal meals at normal times. But it's still important to eat, and to stay hydrated! Which is why I'm making stir fry at half past nine in the evening...

How's everyone doing today? Are we all hydrated? I've just got myself a pint of peach squash with half a dozen ice cubes in, to replenish the several gallons of moisture I've sweated out in the last hour or so.

Really really super tired today. Might just be a reaction to giving blood on Friday I guess? But apparently it's too early to go to bed so I guess I'll have to force myself to stay awake a bit longer

It's Ely Pride today. Went along for a bit (but as always, being in a busy environment is unsustainable for longer than a couple of hours).
It's nice to spend time in a space where being queer is the norm

When I hear alarms they often remind me of songs. Today I'm giving blood, and periodically there's a jingle of three notes that sounds like it's from the theme to Mission: Impossible. My mission is to have sufficiently good iron levels that they let me give blood and I get a biscuit.

I am finally reading "Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal", by virtue of the fact that the audiobook became available at the library, and so I can read it with my ears while I'm knitting.
So glad to hear @robinince.bsky.social speaking in Ely this evening - I skipped therapy this week and this turned out to be a useful substitute. Looking forward to reading the rest of "Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal" over the next few weeks, and to learn more about myself in the process!
