The correct thing to do.

Stuck up an alp

The magic of the Swiss medical system is that I already have access to the CT scans taken yesterday.
The disadvantage is that I have neither the skill or the experience to read these images.

I was so skeptical when I heard it but yeah. Truest thing.

Honestly one of the best pieces of information I’ve ever recieved is that CT contrast fluid makes you feel like you’re peeing yourself.

On the plus side my new local yarn shop is LOVELY.

On the downside, they’ll definitely be remembering me.

In my defence the alpaca was half price.

Also okay. And thank you!

Probably the patriarchy if I had to take a guess.

Good luck for today! I also had a medical thing today and I hope yours is as good/hopeful as mine was x

@wyrddrgn.pookiepower.org happy birthday!

Heading out for the last trip of the year. Last airport(s) of 2024 and they’re not even my favourites.

Saturday morning: up early, gym, researching durable power of attorney.
This is not how I imagined adulthood

Swiss ex-coworker is having Uni friends round for dinner and has asked me to move my copy of Sex After Fascism from the coffee table and we may be breaking up over this unreasonableness

Learning experience

Hamburg Airport. Consistently the worst place for assistance that I have to visit.
Almost a game now to see what kind of shit they’ll pull each time.

A quick straw poll of my coworkers indicates that I’m the only person (so far) who does not think that 4 blenders is ‘too many blenders’

RIGHT?!?

Nothing worse than getting something (however well meaning) that you don’t want. Honestly every year I live in fear of someone buying me a copy of Atomic Habits or similar

This way at least you know no one is going off-list ;)

Dreading the ‘die hard is a Christmas film’ discourse, not because I have an opinion either way but because it’s desperately boring

I’m tentatively hopeful for it… and cleaning very much sucks.

The pile of emails in my inbox, a Simone seminar tomorrow, dealing with the cleaning of my neglected apartment

Please note that these posts are meant both lovingly and with huge respect for his English skills, which are significantly better than mine in any other language than my mother tongue.

Swiss ex coworker is reading Mick Herron in English and sometimes needs clarification on a new term. We just went round and round with him asking what ‘John Tier’ meant.

Jaunteir. He meant jauntier.

Okay I can think of literally no one who would be excited about this but me but I’M GOING TO SEE K’S CHOICE IN FEBRUARY

I’m in the gym again.
Will there be a waffle?
Watch this space.

Good luck!

I have done 4 workouts in the last week on this silly boat and the cafe was out of waffles. Don’t come at me with the whole ‘fitness is its own benefit’ crap. I wanted a waffle.

I’m the furthest north I’ve ever been, feel like Amundsen.

Okay while I’m down with participating in Halloween, having 10 Swiss teenage boys arrive in fucking full face balaclavas isn’t ever going to be not intimidating
