leading to worlds you long to explore
I am now on holiday from work! I have no concrete plans, except sleeping a lot and maybe actually playing some danged video games! I've got some sort of cold (I am snotty and have a sore throat), and it's been that way since last week. At least now I can rest myself when I need to.
Work has not been a fun time lately. Last week, I covered two shifts for someone who was off ill, so ended up doing almost forty hours over six days. Come Sunday, I was pretty much dead on my feet and fed up of everything. This week just gone wasn't as bad, and nobody was off sick. Though had I been asked to do any cover, I would have straight up said no. But it wasn't an issue, so it was fine, thankfully.

Other stuff is bullet points?
# I bought some more Ohuhu markers, even though I haven't been drawing much lately. I bought the 48 set of pastel colours. Because I was feeling sad and I knew I wanted them anyway.
# I've just splurged on a set of gemstone beads from Hobbycraft. I was legitimately getting other things, and then I saw this set in similar items and I was like, you know what? I want that! I am sort of thinking about doing stuff with beads - not necessarily jewellery, although I was inspired by a customer at work who was wearing a bracelet made from rainbow coloured multifaceted beads. They were probably plastic, but the bracelet looked really nice, and it evidently caught my eye when I saw it. Though as I keep telling everyone who'll listen, I think I was a magpie in a past life because oh boy do I like my shiny shit.
# A while back I bought myself a foldaway walking stick, just in case I need it. I bought it after this incident when I left work and felt like all my joints had seized up. It is teal green and it looks amazing. I feel "guilty" about having it, but that is a whole bunch of internalised ableism (and also some ageism) that I need to work through.
# I can't remember if I have anything else to say, though no doubt I'll remember five more things after I've closed my computer down.
