Birthdays

This week started with celebrating my partners Birthday! I'd booked in a nice restaurant for dinner together in Barangaroo that she had been to with friends in the past, but I'd never tried. The food & drinks were really yummy and we both really enjoyed it! I think if I went back I'd probably try the sushi since I saw some people order that around us, and it all looked SOOOOO good.

The rest of the work week was really chill - not too much happened! I did have a day or two at work where I was distracted looking into and working with Agents and other harnesses, it was actually really cool. Yapping w Samhain & the other ppl in the doll.systems discord was awesome & I absorbed so much info through yapping and lurking convos there.

I also started using lookaway at work to help with me literally rotting at my desk between 7:30am-5:00pm without moving, and it's actually be rlly good. The reminders to move & fix posture r not rlly intrusive, and it hasn't broken my flow so far. Defs worth the one time buy :3

My weekend was a lot busier though, I had another hangout for another friends birthday which was fun. I don't get to see this group of friends often so it was nice 2 go to the movies, have lunch and then vibe. We went to this cosy store in the city called Mirmade which was like a little artist alley store where local artists can have small shelves of their art. My gf and I both bought TADC¹ charms for our bags and our friends bought wayyy more stuff. I defs wanna go back when I've got more money².

Sunday was meant to be a bit more chill, but I went for brunch with my Mum and my Grandma. It ended up taking our entire day, since we went and browsed this antique store for like,, an hour. But it was really nice catching up and yapping w family. I defs want them to come visit us more, since we drive down to them more often than not & it was nice to shake it up :3c

I'm a day late to posting this (again) but it's because I got a haircut! (And work has been a bit busy). So it completely slipped my mind ;;; But at least I remembered!

I've started trying to take more daily/random notes using the Evergreen Notes system. It's been nice, and It's helped me get thoughts out of my brain, but I am worried about it just becoming another obsidian vault I leave to rot... It has helped me realise that I am a bit hard on myself wrt to getting things done & that I'm perfectly capable of doing things, as long as they're sized right and are on a cadence. I set wayyyy to high expectations for myself when it comes to finishing work or personal projects... But hoping to fix that!!
