- Getting vaxxed tonight. Sure, it costs money now (it was free on the NHS before, but I stopped being eligible when they decided it was no longer a huge threat for people with asthma… and it wasn’t legal to sell the vaxx yet), but at least I can get vaxxed.
2.A fun event was brought back in FFXIV (a crossover with Fall Guys – it’s very silly). - Randomly picked up a book that proved to be perfect for my mood right now, and maybe include a useful insight for my exam too! (Sleeping Beauties by Andreas Wagner.)

- I feel better today post-vax after being pretty feverish yesterday.
- I’d kind of forgotten about one of the jumpers Lisa knitted me (out of sight, out of mind, unfortunately) but it was very cosy and helpful when I was super cold. It was made to my request (and modified from a different design so it’s also got a unique pattern), so it has thumbholes to come down over my hands and stay securely.
- In the mood to read some books that had been on my currently reading pile untouched for a bit. Sorry, books, but now’s your time!

- Fit in quite a bit of reading yesterday.
- Quite looking forward to today’s in-game plans in FFXIV. It’s something we do weekly and I’ve been getting better at it. I have an idea for further improvement today.
- The fix for something that’s awry with the help docs should be quick and easy, though I’m not going to do it today. (I probably shouldn’t have delved in on it today either, but shush, I was curious what was awry.)

- Galacticare, a spiritual successor to Theme Hospital by people who used to work for that game studio (also the people who made War for the Overworld), is a lot of fun and very soothing. (Two Point Hospital is also a game in the same space with the same criteria. They have some significant similarities, but also a lot of differences. I like both. And I like War for the Overworld. So overall, no surprises I’m happy.)
- I realised my first exam is actually on Monday, not a week on Monday, and to be honest, I feel fairly adequately prepared even so. Our new exam format doesn’t favour rote memorisation at all, and we have a reasonable time limit to complete the work in, so I feel pretty okay about it.
- Being able to help a friend with something.

I’ve been very quiet this week 'cause of exam time, but I thought I’d pop my head in:
- Lisa made me cheese twists to celebrate my first exam being over.
- Both my other exams are next week, so it’s nearly over for this year.
- The exam reports from previous years are really thorough for my nutrition & infection class. Bless those people.
