let some air into this room
In the time since I last updated, I have been ill with a cold, which sucked balls, obviously. I am getting better, but I have a lingering cough that's taking its sweet time fucking off.
I bought a portable wireless charger, since my phone can Do That (except I'd forgotten until now), and a customer had one when he came to pay at the till and I was like, "Oooh, I didn't know they made wireless ones!" I mean, I knew wireless chargers existed, I just didn't know there were portable ones. And now I do.
I also bought a heated airer, as I have wanted one for years, and made the mistake of looking at the sale on Dunelm's website. In fairness, I had gone on there to look at House Things (since that's what they sell, primarily), and I looked at none of the things I'd intended to, except paint. Which I did not buy, because I'd already decided on the airer. But it was 30% off, so I got it for just over fifty quid instead of almost eighty. And it will come in useful when the weather starts getting colder again (it was 27°C yesterday. DO NOT WANT. But also I mean like, a good twenty degrees cooler). And I am sure the cat will appreciate it because she likes being warm. I anticipate finding her sitting on it at some point.
I also had another doctor's appointment re: fibromyalgia, and I have been prescribed a slightly higher dosage of amitriptaline, and a review in six months' time. The doctor that I saw said at least twice that she was glad it was working for me, and I said, "So am I!" but also my internal mental monologue was like, "and thank fuck for that, because I know how annoying my body can be with medication."
And come the end of this month, I will have had this job for TWO YEARS! *throws confetti*
This is officially the longest I have had a (paid) job for, and I am very pleased with myself for being able to keep at it for this long.
I think that's everything for now - life is pretty much the same as usual, except I'm listening to more music than I am playing or watching other people play video games, which is great! I love music! But I don't have anything to say beyond that for now.
