in 30-ish days, ive blogged a total of 9 times!! which is the most i've blogged in a very long time.
this little 'lets see how much i can blog in a month' has been great, and i think i'm going to keep it up. my life isnt nearly as interesting as i think my teenage years were, but i'm okay with that.

it's been really cold in the mornings when i've been getting the train to work, especially the walk to the train station. autumn is upon us!
i'm feeling good but my back is sore, maybe it's time for a hot water bottle. ah the joys of being in your late 20s huhh.

does anybody know how to upload custom emojis to cbox? also btw i have a cbox! go comment x

i'm going to listen to some music, chat with friends and get some editing done for a different project. have a great evening!

i'm feeling more positive today. i've cleaned the kitchen, put in a load of laundry, taken out the foodbin and scooped the litter tray. and swept! and added a post to my instagram @00bloglayouts, so you should check that out

i finished reading eleanor oliphant is completely fine by gail honeyman last night. i loved it, it was very touching. boyfriend has very kindly set up his kindle for me so i can read even more books that the library don't have in stock or are missing. but remember to support your library as much as you can even going into the building, having a look around, and saying thank you to the librarians helps so much. you could take your laptop in and do some work there (if they have the facilities for you to do so).

i think i'll bakesome banana bread today and top up the bird feeders outside. and then once it's baked, i'll take a slice with me outside with a book (next reading material is 'my year of rest and relaxation' by ottessa moshfegh) and read whilst listening to the birds having a feast. have a lovely day!

my hands are so cold maybe i shuold make some tea first...

6:08pm

blanket and tea acquired.

last few days have been okay, although i've been slacking off on pretty much everything. gotta remind myself that it's okay to chill out sometimes.

8:23pm

i'm not too sure what to blog about. it's a three day weekend and i'm going to try and reach the bottom of my to do list for hobbies and odd bits and pieces. like cleaning the bathroom, painting, a few website projects, etc.
i'm gonna cut this short and carry on tidying my kitchen

i uploaded some smilies to pair with my blogs hopefully everything will be significantly cuter from now on.

i'm feeling kinda lazy today. ear infections suck so much, i can barely hear anything. i'm gonna take it slow and not push myself, although i feel guilty for not being productive. why is it that capitalism has made me feel that every waking moment of my life has to be spent doing something? i read a brilliant book a while ago, "how to do nothing" by jenny odell that has made me feel much better about doing nothing in the sense that i concentrate on what makes me feel better. i don't have to hustle 24/7, i don't have to be ahead of the times. i can step back. step back wisely. it's a very good read, i highly recommend it!

new page idea... books i've read in 2022. it's gotta be nearing 50...

finally uploaded the new layout! i missed the creative process doing all the coding and colour matching and playing around with different compositions with code. i'm not sure if it's too much though with the two bottom and top layouts. i might change that down the line but for now, enjoy the first new layout since 2020!

i had a kind of crappy day yesterday. i had reason to believe some friends have a group chat without me, but i'm really trying to not let it get to me. i'm like, is this just my brain tricking myself? or is it real? either way, it's a group chat. nothing is going to blow up if there is a separate chat. and nothing will blow up if there isn't. still hurts and is still disappointing, but honestly as far as i'm aware, i've done nothing wrong and nothing to deserve being silently 'ousted'. i'm a 28 year old woman with bigger fucks to give.

i've been knocking some to dos out the way today, so i'm gonna crack on with getting some more done. peace

i can believe it is september. yes, can
i love autumn. i like summer don't get me wrong but i hate feeling hot and sweaty i was made for bundling up in layers, hot drinks and blankets.
i've been taking a lot of naps recently which sounds like the best time ever but actually i think i've been wasting a lot of time in the naps. i'm gonna try to reduce my napping to one nap a day which is less than an hour. i don't wanna mess up my body clock too much.

was kinda frustrated yesterday, we had a gas engineer scheduled to visit our place at 8:30am. i thought, okay cool - they'll come, do their checks, and i can be in work for 10am. no biggie. butttt he didn't show up til 10:50!!! which meant i would get into work at 12:30 at the earliest, and at that point it wasn't worth coming in due to the rush being over. so i had to miss an entire days work for that. my boss must hate me
hopefully next week will be a solid work week mon-fri!
