Hope you feel better soon @alyaza!

Been off here for a bit as things got busy with work and choirs, but now things are starting to relax a bit ahead of Christmas which is good.

My niece was born at the end of November, was nice to meet her even if I'm not a baby fan (they're so warm though! Had no idea). Looking forward to her being out of nappies/able to talk so I can bond with her a bit.

Had the first Christmas concert of the season last week which went well, always in awe of the orchestra we play with, they're so talented that I forget I'm supposed to be singing. Have two carol concerts week after next which will be fun.

Seeing some comedy this weekend and next week which I'm looking forward to.

I felt so sorry for all the kids yesterday, trick or treating can't be fun when it's tipping down

Busy week for me so far and I am knackered. Been out and about with work which is nice but it's so tiring being sociable on a Monday, usually I work from home in my pyjamas. Finally got an answer regarding my salary, it's not going down in April after all. I think appealing to my director did it, for a manager she is pretty great.

Performing in a concert on the weekend as well as doing a choral workshop so I will be amazed if I can speak on Sunday. Going to a work conference up north(ish) next week which will be fun. Staying in a relatively posh hotel overnight and cannot wait.

It's been a long week. Quarterly reporting time so I haven't really stopped. It's been good though, very productive. I went to a show last night which was great fun, just what I needed.

Also finally found a form of fibre craft that I can do- loom knitting. Makes such a difference to not have to rely on hand eye coordination, turns out mine is worse than I thought! So looks like the baby hat will be ready for my niece after all.

I don't understand a lot about this conflict but surely there can be no justification for this. Those poor people

This is a great resource, thanks for sharing

Sertraline. It's helped hugely with depression and anxiety, though I think Covid helped with the latter as well. I struggle to feel anything much these days but it's much better than feeling low and anxious.

Aw poor Chuck! He looks so sorry for himself.

Glad you're feeling a bit better

Still ill, annoyingly. It's just a cough now but every time I go to choir I can't speak the day after. I know I need to rest my voice but I can't miss a rehearsal without not being allowed to perform at the concerts.

Speaking of, got an invite to potentially sing in Hiroshima as part of the 80th anniversary of the bombing in 2025. It costs a huge amount to travel there but may be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Not sure whether to go for it.

Otherwise I'm ok. Meeting at work last week went ok, they're going to try and get some clarity to me before Christmas.

Have you looked down the back of the sofa?
