Finally finished His Dark Materials (tv show), it was good but not great. It felt lacking in a lot of areas, and I often couldn’t tell if it was bad scripting or bad acting, the bigger names gave reliable performances but some of smaller ones really left a lot to be desired. Will say Simone Kirby (Mary Malone) has definitely been added to my list of actors to watch out for.

Anyway off to rewatch baby Ruth Wilson absolutely kill it as Jane Eyre in the 2006 adaptation as a palate cleanse.

Awake at stupid o’clock because someone left a window open and a gust of wind caused a door to slam. Not at all happy!!

Yeah, I’ve got to take them for seven days and not interact with anyone until I’ve scabbed over. Honestly, feel fine apart from an ear ache and the rash itself being annoying. Have been given a cert for next week as well, but might just WFH and save the leave for a time when deaths actually at the door.

It looks like I’ve got shingles (appt later to confirm since I’m developing the symptoms my specialist on Wednesday said to keep an eye out for)… What a pain in the fkn arse!

That’s going to be an embarrassing email to my new section since it’s contagious to those who’ve not had chickenpox.

Oh totally! Although it’s a bit easier to stomach at home though because you can get things done, which will come in handy when I go back to school next year.

My new job is a finished by midmorning/midday unless something trickles in sort of job, and the feeling is so weird. Like technically I’m done for the day, but now I have to sit there and click about my screen or make small talk with my neighbour. After my last job I’m totally not complaining, but damn!

My mother calls them “homeless bags”, and always has. Before things got good, I remember them coming out was a sign we’d been evicted or needed to find a new couch to surf. I also always remember the handles breaking if you made them to heavy.

Went to the doctors for my usual thing and mentioned a random rash that popped up on my face that’s giving me grief, and now I’m on shingles watch… Fingers crossed the antihistamines I’ve been instructed to take for the next few days confirm its just weird allergy symptoms I’ve never had before.
