soc_puppetHappy birthday to me~! (Well, for another twelve minutes in my time zone, anyway 😜)
Gifts include volumes 3 and 4 of The Adventure Zone graphic novels, an immersion blender, a set of pyjamas that I may only wear once but am willing to give a shot, and (last week) Pokémon Shining Pearl.
My finances are not quite where I'd like them to be, so I mostly avoided treating myself to anything big*, but I did pick up a couple of sew-or-not blanket kits from Joann's; my right knee has been giving me trouble, and when I mentioned it to Mom, she suggested that wearing warmer clothing might help. It has helped rather a lot, to my pleasant surprise, but wearing long underwear to work in a room full of ovens is... less than ideal, to put it mildly 😅 And spaces for employees to change are kinda... Well, there's the bathroom in the employee break room, but I'd have to walk through the employee break room to get to it, and otherwise there's the student locker rooms, which are for students, and I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be using either. So my most recent plan was "Use lap blankets on the drive to and from work", which is the period of time I'm most worried about on work days, but now I'm vaguely thinking about trying to turn at least one of the blankets into a sort of wrap-around skirt. Better coverage and no need to change! We'll see what I come up with.
* Edit: I'm not sure if I should take this back or not; I did treat myself to about eight audiobooks in Audible's Cyber Monday sale, but it only totaled $30, so does it count as "anything big"? And does it count as "for my birthday" if it was the day before? Hmm.
