Tested positive for COVID this morning. Luckily seems to be pretty mild but I have a full calendar this week so the timing is terrible :(

I'm on my third day of a zoo internship and it is amazing but also exhausting and really, really gross.

So excited to play the new Hollow Knight game. Perfect timing for my train trip to Poland.

When your eggs need their own seat on the tram. Never mind everyone standing up, the eggs are more important!

I actually think there's no temperature at which my cat won't attach himself to me like a fuzzy limpet.

It's 28 degrees in my apartment. Blinds down all day, windows shut. I don't know what else I can do. I'm going to drown in my own sweat. Can't wait for that 36 degree day next week 🙃

It's my favourite time of year, Eurovision time! One of these Swiss hosts is absolutely unhinged, I love it. Faves so far: Sweden, Iceland and Estonia.

Got verbally abused by some tosser whilst trying to get on a train today. Called me a bitch and a whore and raised his hand at me. Why? Because when he shoved in front of me at the train door, my sneaker connected with his boot.

Had an eye exam recently and she suspected a blocked tear duct and referred me to an opthalmologist. Dutifully made appointment with opth. Went today, no one had any fucking clue why I was there, despite the referral, and I've been sent away with useless drops for dry eye. Amazing.

Just had to do an impromptu job interview in German. Went well enough for them to suggest a Probetag!

I left Twitter today. Hopefully more of the accounts I followed there move over to here but I'm not hanging around there any longer.

Took a garbage bag and gloves on my morning walk and cleaned my local "mountain" (more of a small hill) of fireworks trash.

I like to wear a mask when I go to the doctor because I don't want anything the other patients might have. Today the receptionist told me I didn't have to wear one and I could take it off. I was like, no thanks, I prefer to wear one, and the look she gave me!

My least favourite doctor here in Leipzig got a new receptionist and she's actually nice! She let me speak in German slowly and I was able to get what I needed. Sadly a rare experience here.

Can't escape German Christmas markets even in Japan - but the commemorative cup is nicer than Leipzig's this year at least!
