only coming through in waves
1. So after a week and a half of being mostly gluten-free, all I can say is that I feel less bloated. Which is good! But also I've been making a conscious effort to reduce the amount of food I get for myself, since I am still in the mindframe of making food for two people at once. And I know if I eat too much food, that makes me bloated (although it's taken me this long to realise it).
Also I've had four migraines in this time, but they may be unrelated. That's partly what this is for.
I've also felt quite sluggish for the past week or so, but I think that's down to daylight savings rather than anything else, because that always messes me up.
I know it's too soon to expect anything, especially because I still do have some gluten containing foods in the house (mostly frozen, so it's not like I can even donate it to a food bank once I get a replacement).
2. I learnt Japanese four hole binding the other day, and it's super easy! (Like most book binding techniques I've learnt). I really like it for making short side bound A5 books.
3. It's The Return of the Mungus! (This is Outside Xtra's POV stream but there are THREE others from Outside Xbox, Dicebreaker, and Eurogamer, should you want to watch).
4. I realised yesterday that maybe I should have gone into a sciencey job because I like collecting data. I've been tracking the local temperature for nearly three years, my migraines for five, and various other bits and bobs for almost two. But then I remembered that science likely means maths, and I hate maths A LOT, so maybe not.
5. I gave up on Dark Souls II, probably to absolutely nobody's surprise.
6. I want to buy more fountain pens, because of course I do, but I am at least going to wait until I'm back in work again, so at least I can justify it because I'm earning money. I don't want to buy anything even as expensive as my Kaweco - I want a few more cheap ones, just to see what they're like.

I really relate to that! I love lists and data entry and organising stuff, but I've always been incredibly shit at maths. So I guess it's not about numbers, only about creating a structure, that appeals to me.
I am tempted to buy the Dark Souls games from Steam, but I want to wait until they're on sale. I'm fascinated by their Dark Fantasy aesthetics and lore, not sure I'd be any good at playing them.

I am no good at playing Dark Souls, if that makes you feel any better (it is, in part, why I gave up on II). I'm just not good at hack and slash, nor at being patient with attacking, although I'm like that in all kinds of games, not just DS.
