Bullet points because I don't do coherent segues!

# I am not going to talk about how many hours I am working this week, suffice to say it's ridiculous. One shift was my own fault for taking it on, but the rest were not.

Maybe I'll whine about it next week.

# I was supposed to have counselling today, but I got a text from my counsellor very early on saying she was sorry, but she had to postpone our session because she wasn't feeling well. Which is fair! And also I'm relieved, because I didn't have anything specific to talk about, apart from telling her how my new meds are going. I'm hoping next time I speak to her, I will have a bigger update for her/something else to talk about, hopefully.

# I'm changing my mind about what I want to do with (some of) the walls in my house - I was originally going to wallpaper upstairs and paint downstairs, but now I think I might just paint the lot? Especially because I think the colour I picked for the hallway has been discontinued??? I have one can of it, but that won't be enough for all the walls that will need doing.

But it's annoying, because they've literally made this colour FOR YEARS, and now I choose it as the one I want, I can't get it anywhere!

(There is a similar colour by the same company, which hopefully is still in production, so I can get that, but I am currently very >:( at it all).

I don't know what I will do with the wallpaper I haven't used, though. (I did think about partially papering the front bedroom, but idk right now).

# Wyrdwood season 2 starts on Friday! I am very excite!! I won't get to watch it till at least Sunday evening, but I am excite all the same!
So. The other day at work, I was bemoaning the state of the local bus service. It has been horrendous for years, but at the end of last week, the road on one of the main routes collapsed, meaning the buses had to take a really out of the way detour to get to their destinations, meaning the schedule was even more screwed than usual.

Context is that I live in a valley system, which has one A road down the middle of it in all directions the valleys go. All other routes are over the hills/moorland, and add extra time to journeys because they are out of the way to access, and obviously not suitable for certain types of traffic.

Anyway, I happened to mention that I'd been wanting to buy a bike for literal years, and maybe this was my sign from the universe to do so. And the lass I was talking to said her sister had a bike she wanted to sell, did I want it?

Obviously, I said yes!

So they brought it to work for me last night for when I finished my shift, and the plan was for me to ride it home. Except...I haven't ridden a bike in sixteen years, so I was very wobbly, somewhat scared of the traffic on the road, and it really hurt my thighs. So I gave up approximately halfway home and wheeled it the rest of the way.

And now I have a bike sitting in my kitchen.

I just need to get used to it again before I start riding it to work and back (and also get appropriate equipment; I need a helmet, lights, and reflectors). And also find somewhere else in the house to store it.

But I have a bike! I am very !!!!! about it!
