Daemon with a halo. Heavy metal mod. Many other contradictions.

And, given how intense the past year was, it's all the more remarkable that I found time to help this out. I'm one of the listed researchers on a paper about making citizen science projects more ND-friendly: zenodo.org/records/1862...

Doing this let me put my diploma to good use as I studied.

I've been awake for 3.25 hours.

Yet I’m still late for a GP appointment just 5 mins walk away.

Don't know who made this. But we love you for making it ❤️

Made my way to Halifax for an appointment. The road outside seems to be carrying more traffic than the M62. 😬

If the chances are 50/50, then it's a 100% dead cert that I'll make the wrong choice.

*sigh*

My nerves are frayed, and my hyper-vigilance amplified to the point of insomnia due to spiders strutting around my flat in search of a shag.

Caught two in my bedroom last night, a female swiftly followed by a male. I'm hoping that's stopped my flat becoming a nursery for 70,000 offspring.

72 hours of self-inflicted self-pity (food poisoning) have ended.

Went for a walk and found myself a few feet away from one of the local herons. First time I’ve seen one on the towpath side of the canal.

Plain bagel. I’m going to risk it.

I don’t know where to start with all that’s hit me in the past year.

Burnout? Arthritis? Learning that I qualify for a PIP assessment? The endless ghosting from non-existent roles? 16-hr workdays?

I moved here for balance, not catastrophe. Dammit.

Can’t argue with this:

It's been a while, and I'd love to say that all is well. But it's not.

I'm in free-fall. Burnout has really done a number on me.

This is not the life I envisioned.

This feels like returning to a childhood home for a look around the old place. It's been so long since I've visited.

I hope everybody's well and that this place isn't turning into some new mutant variant of Twitter.

There's finally a cool breeze blowing through my flat. The heatwave is breaking.

I'm wondering why the Gov't chose the end of the heatwave to send out an alert. The thinking doesn't inspire confidence.

Banning disposable BBQs does.

Yikes! That burst the little moment of reverie I was enjoying with Maya Ongaku.

I really ought to get out for an early trot before the Sun melts everything.

Yesterday, I barely managed 3,000 steps. I have so much admin and bureaucracy to get through while I'm signed off for burnout.

The irony is not lost on me.

I've just returned from my first walk in a few weeks without aching bones or feeling absolutely wiped out.

I need all the little victories I can get right now.

I think their need is greater than they realise.

I've been signed off for at least another month.

I'm just about functional. Energy levels are severely depleted.

Scatterbrained at the best of times, my few coherent thoughts now get lost in a brain fog that's reminiscent of London's 'pea souper' from 1952.

Canva is an absolute crock of shit. It makes no sense, and it turns out I wasted time and money getting the Affinity apps.

I'm fuming. And off to render myself unconscious.

I've been following Fads for a while.

I like his worldview. He always makes well reasoned, well-evidenced arguments.

His latest video on the civil war between the tech bros is an absolute corker.

Even AI companies don't like AI anymore 😂

Finally, humane temperatures and cloud to keep the sun at bay. Or so I thought.

Had to pop into town. The clouds scarpered the moment I set off, leaving me at the mercy of our nearest star.

Went for a walk under the shade of the greenway earlier. Had a good thunk about my life.

The time to enact plan B is fast approaching.
