Feeling a little Stir Crazy

So we’re masking it up for lunch. Perth has a three day lockdown that neatly smashed the poo out of my convention. I’m feeling pretty low about everything right now, though have had some very late and very drunken zoom parties this weekend.

I still can’t verbalise about this week

I know I’ve missed my Sunday morning chats, and that today’s not Sunday, but this last few weeks have been super crazy for so many unexpected reasons. You’ll notice in my breakfast photo that there’s signs of a good party. Or signs of deliberately over indulging because we’re all hurting. Weird how it can beContinue reading “I still can’t verbalise about this week”

Unfortunate Pivot

We have a family emergency and I’m still processing it. I’ve spent the last 24 hours holding it together but today I just feel tired and sad. For this blog, the most important note is that I have handed off the Swancon convenor mantle, and I’m super proud of how fast hand over has happened.Continue reading “Unfortunate Pivot”

Balancing Acts

I’m balancing so hard right now! I’m excited about Swancon being nine days away! I’m terrified that Swancon is only nine days away! My excited tension creeps into stress tension a little too easily. But I’m working hard to manage this, and even sought external help I had a remedial massage yesterday and oh manContinue reading “Balancing Acts”

The Countdown Has Really started Now

A lot of the advice at the moment is to be “real’ and ‘authentic’ on the internet which is both freeing and annoying at the same time. But hey, I slept badly last night, sneezing up a storm, and now I am stressed and worried about Swancon. is that real enough? Haha. Or do weContinue reading “The Countdown Has Really started Now”

Breakfast Companions

It’s been a big weekend, so I’ll be brief right now and expand more later .. But I though you might enjoy the sight of my breakfast companions. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Friday giggle

Change the first four letters of your first and second name to ‘fuck’. I’m now Fuckar Lee Fucker!! Hahahaha

Ethiopian for dinner

Kids are away, the parents will play… Yum! Can’t wait. I’m sitting around playing with colour because the wall behind me is a HUGE gorgeous print, and I was wondering about back drops for videos. To be honest I think today I’m just wearing to much colour to be able to judge my own background!Continue reading “Ethiopian for dinner”

I’m being good! Following instructions even!

My physio said I had to start building strength in the leg that went SPANG all that time ago. It feels normal now, so I kinda don’t wanna. But at the same time I need out to be reliable during Swancon. My convention is now 16 days away. I’m worried I’ve forgotten something important butContinue reading “I’m being good! Following instructions even!”

Excel-lent

I have been thinking about Excell a lot lately. (Spell checker insists it’s spelled that way. It looks wrong. I’m sure it’s Excel but… I argue a lot with my spell checker…) I kind of love using Excel, and it’s the one program I compare all other spreadsheets against. It’s just so handy! And youContinue reading “Excel-lent”
