7:26pm: Yes, I went back to the gym this evening although I only did the recumbent bike and my stretches, just to ease back into it :OP I'm feeling much better though, hooray! Although my nose is still snifflely, I think that might just be from the cold weather. I tell you, it's chillier than normal this year. I'm watching the news right now - the weather is on - and apparently it was warmer than usual today, but then I didn't go out during lunch because it's school holidays at the moment and that always makes the Mall a bit of a madhouse. I'm also trying to finish the Terry Pratchett book I've been reading, I was going quite well, but unfortunately, I forgot to bring the book home last Monday, and then I didn't go to work for the rest of the week... then I forgot it again yesterday! But I have it now and I'm getting to the end so I should get to reading that.
I do need to hang up my masks though, I just washed them - yeah I still wear masks, I've kind of got used to it, and despite having just had a cold I think it's been helpful in reducing general illness. Knock on wood I think this is the first cold I've had this year? But yeah fingers and toes crossed I haven't jinxed it :OP
Apart from this not much else to report - a familiar lament of mine, however, I must make sure to contact my friends to see if anyone wants to go see Inside Out 2 - did I mention this before? LOL I can't remember and I'm too lazy to go look now. I'm not sure what to do if no-one wants to come, I guess I could ask Mum? Although that's kind of lame, LOL. One of her friends - the one I went up to Cairns with did offer to come, but I dunno.
Hmmm...did I have something else to say? Nah, I should probably try and do some McFly July fics, since the more time I wait the more I have to catch up on! Although I do want to play Cities Skylines, I restarted my Hill Valley, for no particular reason, except maybe to make it look a bit better, the one I was working on before now has sprawled out and has rather tall buildings and just generally not looking quite right.
I'm also making quite a lot of progress with my Pusheen ice skating cross stitch, I'm still trying to decide if I should cross stitch in the snow, I suppose I should, but it kinda seems like a waste because it's not like you can see the white thread unless you're looking really closely. But...we shall see!
I suppose I should stop writing about this stuff and start doing it, LOL.
Before that - catching up on the...

2. What are your three favorite items of clothing?
1. My emerald green coat - the lining which is polka dot fabric is fraying alas - but I still love wearing it :O)
2. My Pusheen yellow jumper (sweater), it has a sort of...embossed image of Pusheen baking on it, it's super cute!

Ooo tough one this...the first three that come to mind:
The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend (I have to pick a specific one from the series)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie
4. What are three things you'd grab if you had to evacuate your house quickly?
My glasses (I need them to see!)
My laptop
Whatever Pusheen merch I could get my hands on (alas I no longer have a pet fish, so I don't have to worry about that)
5. What are your three favorite songs or musical works?
Grease the movie
Summer Sunshine by the Corrs
Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush
Oh yeah, I just remembered what I was going to write about, I had to go on the desk for three hours today! Fortunately, not in a row, as a Collections Assistant this is quite unusual, although I was away all last week and a lot of fellow staff are on leave. I did survive though! Partly because a colleague offered to switch a shift so I didn't have to stand for two hours straight. Also the person who does the roster was kind enough to take me off the shift I had tomorrow, which is also Inter Library Loan day, so huzzah!
Ta-ta for now!
