Did anyone else feel like this weekend was fast, I did so much and so little at the same time, how can that be???
1. It's JULES' birthday! Shoutout to the best flatmate who somehow, miraculously, managed to put up with me for five months when we were both not working and living through a global pandemic in lockdown.
2. I whipped this chocolate cake up today, I wish I could say I made it from scratch but I used a Betty Crocker box cake ha ha ha. Looks so good though! The icing is chocolate fudge!
3. Working in a cafe in the week. I think it's so crucial to get out of the flat sometimes when working from home (if you can!) Some places have super sucky WiFi though, so if you're settling down for the day somewhere find a spot with good internet.
4. Let's take a moment to talk about the AirPod Pros - in all seriousness the noise-cancelling setting brings my anxiety way, way, WAY down. I was working in a coffee shop the other day and I wasn't even playing any music, I just sat there with my AirPods in and I felt like I could properly collect my thoughts. As someone who struggles in busy social settings, this is amazing. Don't my piercings look cool here too!
5. Nuturious WFH lunch consisting of a half eaten caprese salad (I ate all the mozzarella), dairylea dunkers and a bottle of Curiosity Cola.
Other bits:
1. I have a reoccurring ganglion cyst (totally fine, none fatal) in my wrist that just hangs out there sometimes. I went to the doctors like, three years ago about it and he suggested draining the cyst. I had to hold my hand upright on the side of the desk while he produced the biggest needle I've ever seen in my life and proceeded to push it into the swelling on my wrist. I have never felt pain like that and he was, unfortunately, unable to extract any fluid. The procedure did alleviate some of the pressure from built up fluid but now the ganglion cyst has returned. She's back. That's it, that's the story.
2. I've started watching The Fall on Netflix which feels so bizarrely familiar, like I've seen it before?
Quote for the week: "Rowing harder doesn't help if the boat is headed in the wrong direction." - Organizational theorist Kenichi Ohmae on the difference between being efficient and being effective, which is from James Clear's 3-2-1 emails that I highly recommend subscribing to if you haven't already.
Until the next one!
