Happy International Women's Day! There's still a lot of work to be done, so let's get cracking. (and for the men: yes, there is. Google it, don't force a woman to do it for you. And maybe care about it any other day that is not today.)

I love how British crime shows are so sustainable that they even recycle their plots. Move to another era, do a little gender flipping, a tweak here and there. And we're good to go.

I should go downstairs and join the land of the living. But it's so nice and quiet up here. Signed; an introvert with a partner who's home 24/7

I need a day of peace and quiet. Where can I get one?

Using the charger of my laptop to warm up my stroopwafels, because my coffee cup is too wide. That's how we roll....

A team meeting, bonus shift, thirteen hours of sleep, and a complete family dinner (all 12 of us) later... Hi, I'm still alive.

I'm just a girl, checking her phone, hoping tonight's team meeting will be cancelled...

Came off the nightshift this morning and have a teams meeting in a few minutes. Because in nursing, the fun never really stops....

What's the going rate for a 'you need to come home immediately' call these days? Asking for a friend.

As someone who's been using non-AI text-to-speech I have to say that the AI narration of audiobooks sounds awful. I get that it's a cheap and convenient method to make books accessible, but please, only if there aren't any other options, okay?

So.... after careful deliberation I have come to the conclusion that I don't understand Curling. I just don't. It's boring. Also why are we not getting any icehockey?

Past-me loaded and started the washer. Now current-me has to hang the laundry. I hate past-me.

The biggest monsters have the best masks. And no, you don't owe anyone conversation or dialogue.

Well that was a night if ever we jad one. *crash lands on the couch*

I would blindly trust this organisation to have the very best intentions towards fat people and their health. Not....

When a patient, who usually avoids doctors like the plague due to medical trauma, comes in asking for help in managing their depression, maybe refrain from suggesting weight loss surgery?

One of the worst things about depression is arriving in a future you never planned for. Because you never thought you'd make it this far. #DontWorry #ImOkay

I’m not against GLP-1s when it comes to treating conditions. I’m against the framing of fatness as a condition that needs to be treated. We don’t have proof that fatness *causes* health issues. we DO have evidence that fat people get poorer quality CARE bc of WEIGHT STIGMA.

This morning I will not fall asleep on the couch. I will go to bed and sleep there. I will not fall asleep on the couch. I will not.... zzzzzzzzzzz

These naps before bed are getting pretty serious. Anyway, showered and ready for Sleep Part 2.

I once was a six year old who sported a white apron and cap. My goal in life was to become a nurse and stand by people. Foolish, naive girl...

Not one person telling me not to worry, has ever made my life easier. Usually it just means 'I don't want to deal with this right now, so I'll leave you the mess when I walk away'. Not ever has it meant 'I'll take care of it' and shit getting handled.

I need to shower, but somehow I can't get myself to. Help?

Dear writers and editors: Underneath her clothes she was naked? Seriously? How did that pass inspection?

There should be a special hell for those who use 'Reply to all' instead of 'Reply'.

When it's dark when you wake up, so you think you have to get up for work soon. Then remember it's night and the first day of your scheduled week off... Bliss! Good night, world, I'm going in for seconds.

Having to do this shit again, instead of quietly reading my book. Need to find someone to take me on as their princess... (Yes. I know I hold a lot of privilege by having a steady job/income etc. Just let me enjoy my depression in peace, okay?)

New Year's Eve and I'll be working the nightshift. Not sure I'll be able to hear any of our clients, but hey, at least I get to click myself into oblivion in an attempt to.

Hierbij alvast jullie reminder dat je van overgebleven (wat dus betekent dat je er meer koopt/bakt dan je opeet!) oliebollen, de beste wentelteefjes bakt. In plakken snijden, daarna als normaal je boterhammen behandelen.

Consider all your posts today <3-ed. Too lazy to do it manually.

On standby for tonight's night shift. Let the wait begin...

Santa gave me a nice new duvet with a fancy, fluffy cover. Just as the weather was turning cold. As if she knew I needed them. ;-)

Christmas Eve and not a decoration in sight. Guess this is what happens when I ask someone else take care of the decorations.

I need to shower before bed, but it's too cold. So I'll nap on the couch first. (hashtag NightshiftMath)

Wonder if the co-workers who work Christmas would be pissed at me, if I told them we have absolutely NOTHING planned for both days. Okay, we may order out for Chinese food.... (not planning on telling them, just curious)

If you keep treating people like dirt, suppress and antagonise them at every turn, you shouldn't be surprised if, every once in a while, they strike back. Or they grow resentful of you, and refuse to abide by 'the rules'.

Update on Christmas cheer (told Unit2 that after 25yrs of doing the decorating myself, he's in charge this year) Not got any requests on getting big or little tree, or decorations from the attic. No string lights anywhere yet. I think I can safely say it's not going to happen this year.

Doing a first walk-through of my #NaNoWriMo project. It's amazing how many typos you catch with text-to-speech.

I was up far earlier than usual and now I feel all jet-lagged. (nice to get a few hrs of daylight, though)

My need to be informed is constantly in conflict with my need to stay sane.

If they say it behind my back, then I don't need or want to know. Clearly it's not meant for me.

I hate peopling... Having said that, 'only' four more nights to go.

I need someone to take my phone away and force me to lay down to sleep. Can't seem to surrender.

Self publishing is wonderful. It gives writers chances they otherwise wouldn't have. But by all that I hold dear, please get your book properly edited. I've DNF-ed too many books due to bad editing.

Happy meteorological winter to those who celebrate. ❄️🧣🥶

And TIme! Remember you can download your winner's certificate and other swag at NaNo2.org/validator . Thanks for spending your #NaNoWriMo with me. Like the Terminator, I'll be back.

Thanks to all my @nano2wordsprints.bsky.social buddies, I made it! Unexpectedly an overachiever this year.

3 jaar geleden kreeg ik, dankzij een collega van mijn partner die wel vond dat hij kon gaan werken, COVID. Ik had op dat moment al een bijholte ontsteking. Nu, drie jaar later, nog steeds constant moe, geen conditie, inspanningsintolerantie. #NietHersteld

Back to work the day after tomorrow. I'm not ready yet. Found it very peaceful to not be exhausted and in sensory overload all the time. Can I make money being a recluse? I'd be very good at it.

Unexpectedly home alone. Whatever shall I do @nano2wordsprints.bsky.social ?
