  1. An ibis standing on a gatepost like a statue.
  2. The Doom Patrol TV series! It has Alan Tudyk, whom I love in everything.
  3. This excellent and accurate character from Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights personality quiz, which tells me I am Frog Dragger.

  1. Wales beat England!
  2. Once more my wife put some money on it, and thus we feasted upon cookie dough as a treat.
  3. I got some cute brightly patterned trousers for loungewear. It’s like wearing PJs all day! So comfy. But also so much more cheery than denim; normally I live in jeans.

  1. Finally got everything sorted out for returning my treadmill.

  3. Feeling like I’m on track and on top of my backlogs.

  1. Chicken and noodle salad for dinner.

  1. My first session with my new therapist went fine; we will be trying something new, which is… interesting.
  2. Chocolate for breakfast, not the best idea but satisfying to the soul sometimes.
  3. Finished the biostatistics section of my course! I definitely do not understand it all, but I now have familiarity with the material! Onward to epidemiology, with great relief.

  2. I celebrated World Book Day by using a book voucher to buy a whole stack of books on topics ranging from Polynesian history to why learning Latin is fun to the Epidemic Intelligence Service. Seems on brand for me.
  3. Tomorrow is my day off and even though Simone isn’t able to cover it, everyone’s made it work.

  1. A good session at the gym today.
  2. Three young scrib turkeys in the park on my way home.
  3. My backpack. It has enough space for my laptop, clothes for two days, gym gear, and two large lunchboxes, and it has a waist strap for putting most of the weight on my hips. I love it to bits.

  1. YNAB makes it completely simple to save for things, even big things, and pay for them without a wince.
  2. On which note, replacement treadmill on Wednesday! A better model than the previous, I hope.
  3. Refunds for various things came in, giving me more money to play with than I’d thought.

  1. Creating a “done” list of things accomplished. I was feeling frustrated and depressed from a rough day of not having a clue what I was doing, but when I wrote down all the things I actually did successfully, it was a lot. I may need to add this to my daily routine. :slight_smile:
  2. This adorable poetry from twitter/PhilipLynchPhys:

Roses are red,
roses are blue
depending on their velocity
relative to you

  1. And this reply from twitter.com/Grallator:

Flowers are coming
They’re roses of blue
Their relativistic energy
Will pulverise you

  1. One of my email inboxes was really quiet this morning!
  2. I’ve been doing well with zeroing my personal inbox for a few days.
  3. I’m really enjoying reading Kindred by Rebecca Wragg Sykes: it’s about Neanderthals, so I am learning fascinating things like the fact they used tree resin to stick their lithic tools onto wooden shafts to create spears, and knew that if they only had pine resin to use they could make it as good as birch bark by mixing it with beeswax. That’s quite a bit of complexity, way more than I realised!
