• long time no weeknotes! how are you doing? i'm much better. thanks for asking, and returning to gaze upon these.
• one of my friends was joking about being included in these and i always find it funny that people notice or don't notice that the notes are going out. the notes must go through! i'm thrilled about that i think? i thought it was a “the pressure is getting worser”¹ situation but turns out i've been struggling for other reasons.
• i have actually been struggling to write these as unlike some people i don't want to just write about work (obviously) or too much, too directly about people in my personal life (less obvious i think?). and it's been a very people-y couple of weeks so didn't have much in my head for here? I'm trying to take more little notes during the week over on the notes blog, but it's hard going, and i need to incentivise myself more to actually do it. i love posting, i love writing, why am i not doing both more? it is a mystery.
• i am trying tidal and i do not like it, so i will probably swap back to spotify after the trial sadly. why does it not have a desktop app? I am doing a lot of boycotts anyway, and i'm looking forward to mood machine being released in the UK to see if it has more of a way forward plotted out. i no longer strive for perfect moral purity (it's a bit of my madness that still makes perfect sense to me, but i know logically is not compatible with life lol) but i do try to be curious about why i am or am not doing a thing that people around me think is important. can i articulate it to myself? can i revisit this decision? do the stakes feel high enough? this and other questions help a lot.
• i'm so excited that everyone is watching severance together, one of the few shows that grabbed me straight away. i'm still a bit confused why having a cool outie would help, but all the memes have shown me having a bad one would definitely be terrible. poor helly!
• i still think i probably shouldn't be using footnotes accessibility wise, but i can't see the details tags i put in on my posts so i assume something broke with those, i should investigate. i shall put it on the list.
• i've really been enjoying smash burgers, bean burgers, mushroom lasagna, and may chang and bog myrtle essential oil scented things.
• i'm slowly working on a piece about leaving social media, leave a comment, email me, i want thoughts!
• i really want to weight lift, but the world is conspiring against me, the nearest bougie gym has a three-month cancellation policy after the first month and i don't want to have to keep paying it if i'm not here, it costs too much! might have complained about that last time. the non-bougie gyms i will just not go to; i should probably do a recce of the absolute nearest but i think if it's busy i just won't do it.
• on the lookout for cute, flat foot pain friendly, cute, affordable. cute shoes lol. i have high hopes for a pair of vans i ordered and i hope the next size up fit nice!
• my quarterly goals are going rubbish if i was going off strict adherence lol. i also need to have another look at my bingo cards and list of hopes, but the year is going differently to how i anticipated so far.
• saw nosferatu, it was so good but everyone saying it's about her longing for him (positively) is a freak (derogatory). i am not a critic, “i am an appetite”, so take of that what you will.
• do you want a newsletter from me? let me know if so, i think i could do it now but i need validation.
• see you next week time! hope you're having a great week :)
