Paws, pins, and draws

Hi,

Well, we’re out of January and I guess that makes us a little closer to spring. Perhaps the luxury of some blue skies, rather than the grey, and a break from the rain would be nice.

Not much to report this week and perhaps – given the state of the world elsewhere – that’s a good thing.

Paws

In terms of the little things, the Orly treatment for my nails seems to be working well. Switching between the nourishing and the strengthener has meant they’re retaining their shine and a little bit of length. As I’ve said earlier, quite the luxury of affirmation.

It’s not until now that the penny has dropped around just how much I see my hands during the day. When you wash up, make a drink, type, clean up, etc. Ha, even when I’m buzzing the fuzz off my chops before work, with the ‘leccy razor.

Maybe the boon, if you will, is like that around pins; in that when they look right, it helps me feel right. Does anyone else get this?

I’m partly minded to shape them a little, but experience tells me: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it 😉

Draws

No, not the undie type….. although Snag’s new range of tights is looking particularly groovy. There’s some gothic ones with a black flame up from the ankles and down the thighs. Now, as cool as they look; I do not think I’d have an occasion to wear them. Instead, I shall just think ah, how fab, and move on 🙂

Where was I? Oh aye; draws. Yes with week two of work – which is still going well – I needed to switch up to a proper desk, rather than balancing a laptop on my knee. Now, as much as the sofa is quite comfy and I can sit with the hounds; DSE Assessment friendly, that’s not.

Oh, DSE as in Display Screen Equipment. It’s part of Health & Safety…. and before anyone says “it’s gone mad” 😉; I am of the mind that not being injured at work is a good thing. Call me woke but how nice not to be in pain after a day’s graft! 🙃

Luckily, Wee Man bought a small desk before he left home, so I’ve been using that on-and-off for some between jobs work & volunteering. Now I’ve got a proper job, there was need to tidy up the spare papers, pens, plethora of nail varnish bottles, and put away the number of dresses hung up here & there.

If there’s a point to this waffle, I’d say it’s one of those I’m glad I took the time vibes. Sure, the room is a little cooler, but I can move around more, fidget a bit, and I think the chair is better for my posture too. I did have to buy a wee gadget that lets me swap the display & keyboard between my PC and the work laptop. But, the sound and the web cam is better, so that’s a win.

Chams

The forum seems to have settled in from the update last time. I’ve been looking at a few tweaks to improve the software, but nothing is really catching my eye around this needs to be done. Again, if it ain’t broke 🙃

Diane’s been helping with drafting a ‘How To’ by coming up with a set of questions, so when I get a bit of time for a think, I’ll see what I can do about creating a Q&A from those. No rush, but nice to finish.

Good luck for the weekend and the days that follow! 🤗
