(no subject)
I had a job centre visit yesterday, where I was informed that I was earning enough money that I didn't need to be seen as regularly \o/
So for the time being, I don't need to have appointments there! (I say for the time being, because my work coach did say that if my wages go down for any reason, then I may be made an automatic appointment just to confirm what's going on).
I also bought myself two P!nk albums from the local RSPCA charity shop, since I've always liked what I've heard by her on the radio, and I've heard a lot of her on the radio recently for some reason.
Also also I am reading a book! An honest to god actual fiction book, and it is not feeling like a struggle to do so! It is the sequel to Shiver (aka a book about werewolves that I absolutely did not get on with) and it's going okay? Nothing much is happening, but that's par for the course with what I've read of Maggie Stiefvater's books. I feel like Cole is a proto-Ronan, since he gives me the same irritated feeling, but I think she likes writing characters like this? Or maybe Ronan is a proto-Cole, since technically the meat of the Raven Cycle was written first? Anyway, whatever, I don't like him. Though I wish Isabel was still an abrasive jerk, because when she was, she was the best thing about Shiver.
Aaaaanyway. I'm reading! I'm, like, halfway through the book! I may even read the other two books in the series, since I own them already!
And then, one day, I might actually get to rereading the Raven Cycle, and possibly All The Crooked Saints, but I still kind of side-eye that one a bit.
(I'm still mad we'rd not getting the story about about the girl gang car racers because holy heck I wanted that so badly! But alas, it was not to be. I did think about writing my own version but I know next to fuck all about cars and I'm still not writing anything anyway).
Heh.
On top of all of this, I bought almost all Lousie Rennison's series that starts with Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging, since we had them all at work. Except for book six, because I mean why donate a whole series to a charity shop, right. I can probably get it off ebay though, so no worries.
Oh yeah AND BEFORE I FORGET:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
honigfrosch sent me a box of Halloween things/snacks from Germany and it was amazing! I made a thread on Twitter, here, where you can see everything but the one item I forgot to take a pic of because that happens. Also I was giddy as heck. Sorry the pics are so dark, but the cat decided to help by sitting in my light (thanks, cat).
(I do not need to buy snacks for ages now, although in spite of this, I still bought a hazelnut Ritter bar and some Italian cookies when I did the shopping yesterday. I have already eaten the Kinder egg, and am most of the way through the hare gummies, which are really yummy).
