- rocky road!
- my srs bsns book arrived
- making good progress with my postal admin
- not being rude to the post office employee who was utterly feckless and had to be guided through the entire transaction by me (Camden, let me know if you'd like the full rant via PM about trying to post your package!)
- finally cleared the last of my possessions out of my parents' house, having not really lived there for 12 years
- my mum thought my scones were good!
- arranging to have a house meeting and a wedding planning meeting on Saturday, so I'll be able to say the phrase "I've got back to back meetings all morning", which I think makes me sound important.
- Awaiting full confirmation, but I appear to have nailed the art of making cookies in the wretched gas oven

[Unbreakable.]

- getting to laugh about Jenna thinking she sounds important
- keeping up with correspondence (I think???)
- finally writing my lesbian poetry
- a certain actor's new hair color making my vagina collapse (I am sure everyone is thrilled about the increase in vagina related updates in the last week or so. you're welcome.)
- semi productive day
- wireless headphones making my life like a million times better

I have to say both of these things sound amazing!

Do you paint your nails often?

Things I'm grateful for:

- Friendship. Wouldn't be anywhere without it!
- Perseverance. Literally have crawled my way out of this week and haven't got a clue how.
- Disney. Tonight I'm gonna watch Toy Story because, why not?

Have you tried the Lio the Lion sweets from Aldi? They're like Percy Pigs from M&S but minus the beeswax =D

Also we legit need a groupchat for the RYL ve-gang so that we can exchange Top Tips.

We have very different ideas about what one would consider 'interesting'.
