Happy New Year?

I've been working over the past five days, and today is the first day I'm not, hence the ability to actually sling together some sort of post. So obvs I am late to the party on wishing everyone happy new year.

I had an okay Xmas, it went nicely and there was no drama, which is always good! It was also one of the few days I didn't have whopping migraine over about a week (one was so bad I couldn't even look at my phone/TV without feeling violently nauseous, which was delightful).

Then I worked five days in a row, and I got to experience some people being awful! Because retail! Nobody was outright threatening or anything like that, but there was one woman who described the process of trying to get a refund as the worst experience she'd ever had, just because she wasn't getting her own way (and she was a tight-fisted so and so to begin with). Several people were annoyed we didn't have certain things in, and I was like, "It has been Xmas and New Year! There have been NO DELIVERIES!" and they were all just kind of like, "And??" which irritated me because I tend to (or try to) take that sort of thing into account when going places at this time of year!

ANYWAY.

I'm working one day in the next eleven and holy fuck am I glad about that.

I don't really have any resolutions for 2024. I hope it's better than 2023, which was a mixed year for me, to be honest.

I'm still continuing on my textile adventures - I'm going to have a go at 2D needle felting this year! I thought I wasn't interested in it/thought I may easily hurt myself (since it uses stabby needles), but ye olde weasel brain has other ideas. I'm just getting a little starter kit, and see how I go!

And that's really it for now! I'm going to post this and debate what to have for dinner.
