megpie71: "Well, when I was a little girl, I thought I'd like to become a scientist, so I became a scientist" (feminism)

I took up swimming about a month or so back. Every day, after work, I stop off at the local swimming pool, and do half an hour of laps (swimming and walking). It's very helpful and relaxing, and I'm getting stronger as I go (up to 200m swimming so far, currently as 1x 150m, 1x 50m).

We have sugar ants. I am less than impressed. I also don't have the time, brainpower, or patience to be dealing with this right now.

1) Toast with lime marmalade for breakfast.
2) Quiet days at home gaming.
3) Pleasant weather.

1) COVID-19 driving everyone crackers.
2) Idiots saying fanfiction will be responsible for the end of moral behaviour as we know it.
3) Endless popups from Avast trying to get me to buy their products - no means no, guys.
megpie71: a phone, ringing. (hard at work)

Got a new phone yesterday (Samsung A30). The folks at the shop that sold me the new one were rather surprised by my old one - "haven't seen one of those in a while" sort of stuff. Shifted all the contact details over, and now the new phone is the main phone, while the old one has decided it wanted to grow up to be a paperweight.

It may be that after a few weeks or months of doing this, I'll be able to go back to longer posts, maybe on weekends or something. But in the meantime, three sentences a day, every day, is a target I can reach and hit. So I'll stick with this for now.

Also hence this compromise. Three sentences is an easy amount to string together inside about five minutes at the beginning of the day. It doesn't say much, but I hope it says enough.

Or in other words, I can't write long blog posts any more. They're just too much work at either end of the day. Hence the long radio silence.

But I'm winding up with less free time than I previously had. Particularly since I've taken up going swimming on the way home from work as a way of dealing with stress. I end my days physically tired, and intellectually wrecked.

I started working in a permanent job back in January. I now work four days a week, and I've taken the year off from study as academic leave. The job is good, the money is nice, the people are wonderful, and so on.

Why am I doing this? Well, it's a long story. I'll tell it to you, three sentences at a time.

Storms for the last two days, as well as today. At least Aqualife is undercover. Means I don't get wet when I go swimming after work.

I'm going to be trying to do a bit more on Dreamwidth. So I'm going to try for a short post every day, maximum three sentences. This is today's.
