    Finally did my laundry. Or at least as much of it as I could fit in the gym bag. I am awarding myself extra life points as I did so after a walking day at work and waddling up the road thanks to the period monster. And because I bribed myself with a KFC.

    Read a horrifically sad book this morning- I'm not sure what Jill Mansell was thinking but it was not a plot I could be sympathetic to really.

    Have not been home much this week and it shows. Air fryer is on the floor. Pong the Poang chair is buried under clothes. I am buried under hot water bottles and eating Doritos for breakfast. Adult life is delayed for another weekm

    You hereby earn the Laundry Badge - the rest can wait till you have less to contend with. But clean laundry is a definite victory and deserves KFC. Sorry about the book, though. Have you anything more positive to read?

    The books are piling up Cherry. I'm currently wading through Principles by ray dalio. Amongst others.

    Not much to report, scheming away.
