Stuff (big or small) you've got to look forward to over the next week or so

This thread is because (a) I’ve had Sunday dread all afternoon and evening and (b) @AQOS made things a bit bleaker (I do think you’re great though)

So here are some things I’m looking forward to over the next week:

  • riding my new bike is still fun;
  • might get to WFH at some point;
  • the evenings are getting ever so slightly lighter;
  • our house feels pretty cosy at the moment, like a cocoon against the winter;
  • my daughters are dying to play me at Mousetrap at every given opportunity which is quite sweet;
  • I don’t have to be superhuman in work, just to do the best I can.

Feel free to make your own list. Let’s get through these bleak January weeks together.

Decent list. Sometimes it’s important just to get the washing up done and to count that among the good things

My sunday dread is much worse when i have a massive stack of washing up to do, plus 3 different types of lunch to prepare (normaly including a soup or complex salad or something)

Supposedly my much-delayed Yodel delivery should be coming tomorrow, which would be nice. Other than that, just back into the standard swing of work, might start getting some rejections from some job applications I did this weekend but they will be important feedback for the next set!

Going to a networking thing tomorrow (I’m awkward as hell but it’ll be nice to socialise with people, I think. Hoping people I know will be there.)

Got some YouTube vids on my to watch list that I’ll enjoy watching during lunch breaks, and films I might try to watch on Friday too

My album is out on Friday and I’m looking forward to being able to say I have a new album out for I am a vain man
