5 things for Saturday (again, oops) vol. 14

Apparently I’m not great with rules or deadlines, because here I am posting this on a Saturday afternoon. It’s not really much of a “5 things for Friday” when it’s on a Saturday, is it? Oops.

Walking in a listy wonderland

This week has all been about lists. Lists of things to do at work before the end of the week, lists of things to do around the house, lists of things I need to think about for our upcoming holidays. Things to research. 52 lists.

SO. MANY. LISTS.

I saw someone post a prompt for ChatGPT where they asked it, based on everything it knows about them, to give them a brutal reality check. It was hilarious and eye-opening, so I decided to try it on myself.…

I’m oh so tired…shhh….shhh

The title of this post was inspired by Björk’s It’s Oh So Quiet song, but in my own words.

You know how October only just started? Well, I looked at the calendar, and we are now booked in for something every weekend until the middle of November.

If you heard that sound, my inner social bar just saw what’s planned, crashed through the floor, and continued down a few levels.

Originally I had a weekend in October marked as “Do nothing day, book something in and Kel will kill you”, but guess who broke that? Yep, that’s right, this girl. But in my defence, it’s for my niece’s birthday, so I think that’s forgiveable.
It’s also our 10th wedding anniversary this year.

5 things for Friday (vol. 13)

It’s been a really uneventful week, and I felt like I was scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with something to write.

So I decided that this week I would share what I’ve been listening, watching, reading, and thinking about.

Listening

Working from home, I always have to have noise in the background. Enter Spotify.

(Side topic: I wish you could claim Spotify as a necessary WFH expense. But myyyy wouldn’t that piss off all the folks who hate the idea of working from home in the first place?)

Although I have a gigantic starred playlist, my mood varies a lot. Most of the time I start a radio based on a single song. Or a mate at work recommends something, I play it, get focused on work, and Spotify just keeps doing its thing after.…

5 things for Friday (vol. 12)

Last night, Friday night, I grabbed my laptop with the intention of writing this post. And instead, I put it back down, went to bed, and had a much-needed 8-hour sleep.

Let’s take a look at the randomness of this week.

I started making a shadowbox

I’ll write about this more in a 52 wrap-up, but this week I started making my shadowbox. I downloaded a design on Etsy and started cutting it out.

Unfortunately, my Cameo cutter didn’t cut all the way through on some more intricate cuts, so I’m tracing those with my craft knife.

But I started putting the layers together; here’s a sneak preview.

One watery eye

Does this ever happen to anyone else? I was working out this week on the bike, and only one eye started watering.…

5 Things for Friday (on a Saturday)

I missed publishing my post yesterday, mainly because it was such a hectic day that after work I ended up on the couch falling asleep on my husband’s lap. But I wanted to get this posted, so here we are.

No sinus surgery required

A few weeks ago I mentioned going to see my doc for a few things, one of them being my sinus. I was told when I was young I had a deviated septum, and as an adult sometimes breathing through my nose is tough. So we decided to get it checked out, especially since I tend to get sinus infections semi-regularly.

Well, it turns out that I don’t have a deviated septum, nor any polyps, or any other reason that I need surgery.…
