1. I am writing this quickly, before my brain wakes up and tells me not to.

2. As you may have guessed, the relapse that is currently ongoing is still, currently, ongoing. I can get through about 3-4 hours okay, then have to lie down and cry for a while.

3. I have managed to power through 3 Rivers of London books in that time. I'm about to start The Hanging Tree again, because I have no brain for anything new.

4. It's thesis binding week, so my colleague and I are getting really good at this now. I'm fully expecting panics tomorrow morning, as the deadline is at noon.

5. I've been following the F1 testing as closely as I can without getting obsessed.
5a) Force India have by far the strongest Twitter game, followed closely by Mercedes. It's honestly my favourite thing about F1, watching them trade gifs back and forth.
5b) I follow lots of teams on Instagram, and because it's International Women's Day, lots have been putting up pictures and messages. But all week, in lots of the garage pictures, Mercedes have chosen to put up images that include their women engineers. It's a small thing, but Mercedes have huge clout, so I'm hoping others will follow where they lead.

I'm going to miss seeing my favourite doggo tonight, because I need to go home and lie down more than I need just about anything right now. This is Not Okay. Also Not Okay is my brain insisting that because I haven't yet responded to EVERY POST ON MY READING PAGE, I'm not allowed to write. So I'm going to press 'post' quickly and try to find something non-energetic to do for the afternoon, between students, shelving and structural engineers.

*waves* I see you, folks. I'm just still working on the conversational thing...

This is an excellent coupon!

<3 This is a most excellent coupon, thank you <3

It's a good point, too. I don't expect everyone to comment when I post, so it's a very odd double standard!

Thanks!

I see you too. Don't ever feel like you have to reply to everything I post!

Hang in there, I hope things get easier soon.

[jadesfire]

Thanks! I absolutely don't expect people to reply when I post, and yet I've been cross at myself for not staying on top of things. I think it's easier to be hard on yourself, usually :/

Thank you <3

Let yourself off the hook from time to time, yes? We all do what we can do and our can-do is always in flux.

I've only read the first Rivers of London book and I loved it, but it took forever to get through (I've become a ridiculously slow reader and I hate that about myself) :( I'm afraid I'd have to read it again to re-familiarize with everything if I were to read on. So I don't. :(((

[jadesfire]

I am very good at letting others off the hook, not so much myself. I'm working on it ;)

I think if I didn't have audiobooks, I'd never read anything. My attention span and energy levels just aren't up to it. I can't manage anything new at the moment, but these are old friends, and it's nice to spend some time with them.

I'm sorry about the relapse. Take care of yourself!

[jadesfire]

Thanks! I'm trying to!
