The Way of the Weekend
Jun. 26th, 2022 07:20 pm* Apparently my delicious almond croissant and rare actual coffee with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
naraht this morning was too much by way of stimulants for my poor CNS to cope with after a poor night's sleep, and I have spent the rest of today feeling decidedly up and down and sometimes sideways while tidying up the place before going away next weekend and having the surveyor come tomorrow. I want him to be able to look at the garage, not die from tripping over plant pots on his way in. But hey, at least it shows that my recent efforts to reduce carbohydrate intake during the day (breakfast and lunch) to see if it reduces energy fluctuations of long covid is worthwhile!
* I have a new dress! I found on Wednesday that not having bought any new work clothes since February 2020 I currently have no dresses between jersey casual, but OK for work, and silk for attending very fancy things, neither of which was really what I wanted for the Encaenia garden party. So I ordered one in the Boden sale on Thursday. It is excellent, except wrap in style, so will need a couple of buttons adding to make sure that it doesn't suddenly undo while I'm wearing it.
* My creative destiny at the moment is apparently to write all the She Who Became the Sun fix-it fic. I am now at various stages of three different ones. Naturally the one for which I have a title is not the one that is just about finished, which has not even the barest inkling of a title. I have also started sewing a dress again that I started in October, and may thus finish while there is still weather to wear it in.
* It seems that England are not doing terribly at cricket this summer, which is very nice. However it remains to be seen whether this change of form will continue next time they tour overseas. In the meantime, I'll take it.
