Hello and happy Friday! I have fixed a cocktail and put my feet up and am ready to let the weekend begin.
The first week of return to office has been checked off the list, yay. The new office is actually really nice and I feel like I can find enough places to work that are quiet and tucked out of the way, but it’s still more than a little annoying to have to go in. I’m trying to keep in mind how much baby!engineer!topaz wanted to work in “the city“ and have a fancy office. I’d really like to have a private office rather than just a desk that I have to reserve every time I go in , but the rest of it is all there. And they feed us. I’m trying to focus on all the good things about this change.
I also can’t believe that we’ve gotten through January. I’m usually deep in the throes of hating the world at this point, but it’s been a pretty chill month. I’ve leaned hard into candles and twinkly lights and generally wrapping up in quilts and what not, and that seems to have done the trick, at least so far. (see above, re: cocktail in hand). Speaking of candles, I found the box of my stash, and have been running a candle spa the last few days. We’ve put new wicks in where necessary, and fixed up the tunneling issues and sorted them all by fragrance profile. I feel very accomplished .
At some point, I need to collect up all the random, wonderful fic recommendations I’ve been accumulating and share them out. I’m still not at the point of being able to write but once again fandom has provided so much wonderful distraction and the very least I can do is share them with you all. Maybe this weekend?
