Personal Log
I just completed unpacking. What a beautiful game, I loved it! A heartwarming story to make me feel warm and fuzzy
1006 hours in Fortnite. Just on PS5. On PS4 it was about 400 when I switched console.
Seems like a lot but it probably isn’t. I’ve been playing since OG season 3. 🎮
I’m pleased to have got round to writing a new arty letter for my Fresh blog. It’s scheduled to send by email in a few hours..
Email Subscribers
This is just a heads-up for email subscribers of the aeryn.me blog. Or people who are attempting to subscribe but are maybe having difficulties.
I’m not sure how many people are affected. And I’m surprised people are actually subscribing by email at all. I had been thinking of disabling it.
There seems to be some issue on the back end with Micro.blog (the host of this blog). They have been updating their email service recently, and apparently a couple of issues have cropped up.
This has led to me receiving regular error messages in my own inbox that seem to be related to potential subscribers having problems signing up.
I just want to let you know, Micro.blog are working on the issue and hopefully it will be resolved soon. So maybe you could try again in a few days.
Thanks for your patience. And apologies for any confusion that’s occured.
Anxiety is pretty intense today. It’s kicking my ass. I came into the park: watching the trees and just breathing this air is helping a lot. I love windy days like this. It’s only 12C and it feels so good to be outside.
I ran out of coffee so I ordered Starbucks delivery for breakfast treats. And it came in less than 10 minutes!
Oh gosh! I love Lower Decks. But it needs to never end youtu.be/iDiXthMIA… 🖖
Had a good day. I took a couple of walks through the park and went to textiles group with tea and biscuits after. For dinner, I poached some eggs which turned out perfectly, and had them with some salmon and a bagel. Yum!
My iPad makes such a good second screen for my MacBook. It’s a better screen for photo editing. In Lightroom I can display images in full screen. But I found that this setup is not compatible with the Magnet app (for window positioning). Exiting Magnet whilst in LR fixes a lot of weirdness.
I think I’ll give the new Reeder app a go. I have been struggling to manage the blogs I follow on Micro.blog. I tried switching a bunch of them to RSS. But that didn’t work out and I’ve been switching them back again. I don’t want to give too much of my time and energy to consuming so I’m not sure what the solution is. Filtering things that are meaningful and helpful to me is a challenge. Maybe this could help 🤷♀️
We are having mild, sunny, and windy weather here. It’s lovely! I just had a frothy coffee sitting on my doorstep. ☕️
I’ve been using AirPods Pro for a couple of months now and I was immediately impressed.
This morning I’m listening to Songs from the Big Chair, and I’ve never heard it sound as good as this. I’m hearing detail I’ve never heard before. It’s amazing!
Updating categories on aeryn.me - RSS feed updates
Just a heads up for anyone following this blog by RSS. I’m updating and changing, deleting, and re-organising categories on this blog. Which will affect Category RSS feeds. These may break. I’ve already put in some redirects but maybe I missed, or messed some up. Or will do, as this will be ongoing for a little while.
The only feed that is definitely safe is the main site feed, here:
Recently
I went to music group today and I’m really glad I went because I nearly didn’t. It picked me up and it was nice to be around creative people. I sung and played tambourine. A good scrambled egg on toast was had in the cafe, and another chapter of the wheel of time.
Sunday I took a little walk, here’s a snap I took on my phone
I feel weird about being away and now being back home again. Finding myself feeling very tipsy-turvy.
I began reorganising my living space but ran out of steam half way. So I’m living in a weird state of tiptoeing my way round things I should probably sort out asap.
I decided I can’t handle the side effects of these particular meds so I’m going to contact the doc to see about changing them. Or maybe just going med free again. I’m not sure what to do about it tbh.
I like reading and writing longer posts. So I’m thinking about doing that a bit more.
The end. And I lived happily ever after.
I’m home recovering from a few days away visiting family. I love being with them, but I’m really a homebody that gets tired quickly in social situations, no matter how welcoming.
