Ooh, that’s been on my shelves for a while, and I haven’t read it yet…

  1. CBT is… helping with the negative thoughts I’m having about my exam, though there are a lot of them.
  2. We’ve now unlocked the best dungeon in the whole of FFXIV.
  3. Taking silly screenshots with Lisa when we died side-by-side trying to help some newbies clear a particular duty. It’s nice that we’re having fun like that even when we do silly things and mess up. (We’re both healers here – Scholar and White Mage. With us both down, the whole party died. We wised up and stopped standing too close to each other so we couldn’t be one-shotted by the same attack, on the next run.)

  1. The time period we have between downloading our exams and having to turn in the finished work is quite generous so I can take a break playing a game and reading after stressing over part 1.

  3. I can see a little sliver of bright blue sky out of my office window.

  1. Exam is turned in, and I have the rest of today and tomorrow offfff.
  2. Slowly tidying up after the chaos of studying. Notes everywhere. Tempted to hand them to my neighbour to burn in his little incinerator! Will actually dump them in the recycling, of course.
  3. Peanut butter. I should never forget that I love peanut butter.

  3. Eye test and maybe new glasses tomorrow?

  1. Only £10 extra for the OCT scan that can check for any signs of the same eye disease my mum has, and catch it nice and early if I end up susceptible too. (All good so far!)
  2. Reading a fascinating book about the Epidemic Intelligence Service. (Beating Back the Devil, by Maryn McKenna.)
  3. New books, because my glasses were £100 cheaper than I’d budgeted for.

  1. Actually feeling pretty femme lately, and a pair of leggings arrived so I can indulge myself.
  2. Swanning around in pretty dresses on Final Fantasy XIV as well. :joy:
  3. Peanut butter ice cream from Ruby Violet. An ice cream subscription feels terribly decadent and I should probably cancel soon, but aaah I do love the ice cream.

  1. I have a new FC on FFXIV who are hopefully not going to be queerphobic, and right now we’re doing a lot of goofing around on Discord.
  2. Even though it’s quite warm, my favourite pair of jammies are still the perfect temperature to lounge around in, same as during the winter. It’s magic!

  1. Lisa’s ADHD assessment is done. Outcome unknown so far! Just glad we’ve got it done.
  2. I’ve now seen a photo of “my” stamp from Guernsey Post. (It has my name and a fake address invented by me, which has personal meaning, on the postcard shown in the stamp. It’s a really cute design and I’m really excited/honoured/touched by the Easter egg.)
  3. I finally managed to get the physical copy of the third book in a series I’m reading.
