The job hunt
My fourth-round interview is still scheduled for Thursday this week. So still, please wish me luck!
Travels
I haven’t been anywhere. I haven’t done anything. I’ve been in a funk. I feel much heavier than I was a month ago, but I don’t dare check.
Heydays
Well, I did go out once this week. I went out to Heyday’s opening day for 50% off breakfast! But it wasn’t open. I found out a few days later that the opening times on the website were wrong, so I wasted a trip out. Hah!
And double-hah, because I didn’t get a ticket to the launch party either. 1,000 people applied, but they’ve only got room for 100, so they sent out a second email with a link to give tickets to the first 50 folks who click, and I missed it.
Honestly, I’m more sad about all that than I think I have any reasonable right to be.
Making things
I mentioned last week that I’d started a reindeer cross stitch. I don’t know if it’s my bad mood, or if I just don’t like the pattern, but I’ve been avoiding it. It’s just not fun, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to abandon it.
…but I did get to go make cat biscuits with my almost-niece! I made a cosy cat and Alex made Cursed Cat Alastor.
Preparing for 2025
I got my 2025 planner! My first choice is always Rhodia, but I couldn’t spot any nice ones this year so I went for LEUCHTTURM1917. My first choice is always A6, but their A6 2025 planners aren’t out until the end of January so I went for B6+.
How big is B6+, you ask?
Name | mm |
---|---|
A4+ | 225 × 315 |
B5 | 178 × 254 |
A5 | 145 × 210 |
B6+ | 125 × 190 |
A6 | 90 × 150 |
A7 | 70 × 110 |
Perturbations
- I’ve lost my mojo. I don’t want to go anywhere or do anything, and I’m tired all the time. I’m worried a lot about the future.
The week ahead
- Fourth-round interview on Thursday!
