At last I have acquired prescription pills for my deficiency from the NHS. I look forward to becoming extremely energetic and filled with executive function ASAP!

I cut my left hand and the doctor says I have to wear my wedding ring on the right hand (or not at all) for a few weeks until it heals. IT'S WEIRD.

Huh. All this time I actually did Lack The Vitamin.

Appropriation and Mindbomb. (I had a long train journey.) Good! I would watch a K9 lawyer spinoff. Leela remains the best non robot here. #bigfinish

Hm, perhaps it is time for my once-per-decade return to the Discworld MUD. Maybe this time I won't even be a witch! (I'll probably be a witch.)

Me sitting through that whole episode. #DoctorWho

I'm so mad that there was no Rani Chandra mention >:( #doctorwho

My veg box place ran out of broccoli and replaced it with my enemy broad beans 😭 time to hide broad beans in all my food ig

I managed to donate blood for the first time in 3 years! I guess I'm finally eating enough iron. And now my pockets are full of free snacks (the nurse insisted).

It's 2025 and the best #Eurovision song is still 2007 semifinalist DJ Bobo with Vampires Are Alive

Other people at the pool are so nice. Yeah I'm fine I just don't know how to breathe and kick at the same time yet. Yeah I know I can just stand up if I need to. Please just ignore me and carry on.

Paying someone else to clean my oven was a great plan. Lbr I was never going to get to it!

Yesterday's hotel room came with a free weird pillow guy. Huh.

I don't want women to be legally defined. Any definition will be used to oppress and control us.

I went to the audiologist and the dental hygienist today. The inside of my head is so clean.

Even though I am a professional translator of Spanish I basically never speak it and I'm going to Spain next week, so I just took an online conversation class to check I can still say anything intelligible. I think I'll be okay, so long as tourism doesn't require me to use the subjunctive...

The Inquiry. Leela: where is my husband Any gallifreyan: you stupid savage, you can't handle the truth! Leela: what if I cut off your fingers This series is making me into a Leela fan. Let her stab some time lords! She deserves it! #bigfinish

Overall I enjoyed Analog (they fall in love, she doesn't own a mobile phone so they just meet at a cafe every Thursday; sometimes one of them doesn't show up) but afterwards I spent 15 whole minutes telling my husband all the scenes where they could have just called the cafe owner and left a message

I went to an earlier gym session than usual. I was the only one there, and there was free cake. Nice.

I can't believe The Tragedy of Macbeth made me feel sad, this is an outrage

There was an unexpected market in the square near our house today! We got honey, three kinds of cheese, some greetings cards and a huge portion of curry goat... Glad I went outside for once!

Gladiators is so fun this season. I hope they bring back Swingshot next time.

I learned that my gym trainer has a certificate in "programming improv", which is an amusing term but was probably useful when I showed up on Monday with mystery Achilles pain

finished two more shows this week somehow: 1) frieren - the first 17 episodes are very good and the remaining 9 episodes are pretty good 2) agatha all along - I liked it and I appreciated that it didn't matter that I remember basically nothing about wandavision other than "I liked it"

Also I finished Veilguard for the second time! This time I got to bang a necromancer in a coffin AND I got the secret ending, hooray.

I finished watching One Day: Wonderful Christmas Ado and ... I thought it sucked. Sorry Nino.

I left the house 6 times this week. Who even am I...?

Totally normal prize for winning a game on a variety show: a live crab.

Finally got my laptop fixed - the palmrest needed replacing and it took forever to source the part over Christmas. I was advised to try to buy from brands that have service centres in this country next time, but I would rather they just didn't break! At least I didn't have to buy a whole new one.

My scales say I've gained 2 kg in muscle mass since I started strength training. So I guess it's working?

Happy New Year! I spent NYE eating cheese and watching Sasuke (ninja warrior). We bought caviar for the cheese party but I was the only one who liked it, what a tragedy :9

Home sweet home. Time to start my third playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition (to be followed by my second playthrough of Veilguard).

Unexpectedly artistic pause.

I'm still catching up but I am really loving the Stiches in Time podcast (@whostitched.bsky.social); what my life needed right now was definitely a way to make rewatching all of Doctor Who take even longer 💙

It's solstice! Fancy some queer, magical midwinter hijinks for the [longest/shortest/not appreciably different length] night of the year? Try Sing For The Coming Of The Longest Night by me and the superlatively talented @singlecrow.bsky.social www.generalist.org.uk/iona/books-a...

I don't have to do any more of my job this year AND I don't have to do any more cooking this year. Sadly I still have to do laundry and go to the gym, why cruel world

Well, okay then. I also played the first three Dragon Age games and a bunch of Sims 4 off Steam, but I don't think that would change my stats too much actually.

Better than last year, but I hope to squeeze in a few more before 2025...

A woman at my work Christmas party looked at my necklace and said "oh well, we all have our own tastes" Yeah! And mine are great!! 🐙

We got new tree lights.

Good to know the emergency alert system does actually work on my phone now, I guess? Anyway, time to remain indoors.

I have this one on my wall!

honestly I usually skip the non-studio segments of Ninosan but this one on Edo period recipes was really interesting! also now I want daikon.

A thread to talk about my consumption of Doctor Who audios/books/etc. without constantly boring my husband... I'll try to keep it all threaded for easy muting;;

I just realised that the u in ukon (うこん 鬱金 turmeric) is depression

I started going to strength training recently and they keep extravagantly praising my squat form. Nice to discover a new talent(?)... if only I weren't terrible at deadlifts to compensate!

hello, it's a slow work day and now I'm here
