My brain is entirely at capacity. Please nobody ask me to think about any more things until further notice.

I saw some next level clouds at sunrise this morning (not for the first time) that were so unusual I thought I was seeing things. A smear in four parts, each had radial rainbow colours that reminded me of an oil slick. It drifted across the sky over the course of an hour that I was in a meeting, and I kept staring out of the window in awe.
I raved about it in the family group chat, because my sister knows science and sky things, and she identified them for me as nacreous clouds which are super rare!
I tried to take photos but they just came out white, which did little for the feeling I was hallucinating. They were very surreal.

I don't know if I'm spoiled by worker co-ops, or just basic EU workers' rights, but the idea of losing a job with zero notice is just.. mind boggling. How is that a thing? People have stuff to wrap up, hand over.. besides everything else obviously wrong with it.. I'm just confounded. Does not compute.

I let Tara lead the walk this morning and she took me directly to Chapter One Coffee in no uncertain terms. It was full, but she immediately charmed a stranger into letting us share the table, then found three more people who were willing to adopt her on the spot, and the staff gave her a special chewy treat.

It has been a long and full week, with too many notifications. I am feeling positive, but extremely tired.
Fortunately I have had this gremlin all week to keep me stocked up on snugs.

I neglected to top some plant pots in my flat with gravel recently, and had a bit of a fungus gnat population explosion last month. I was worried it was getting out of hand again, but the entire generation seem to have all expired overnight at the same time (and I have since covered all exposed soil, so hopefully they have not managed to lay more eggs) which is great for my wellbeing but they also all expired in the same place, so I now have a fungus gnat mass grave on my living room floor o.O

Celebrating the end of NaNoWriMo (and this extremely stressful week) by cleaning my desk.
I made it to 36,267 words, in spite of everything else going on this month, which is more than last year, and I haven't run out of steam for the story itself, so I'm happy all round.

I have so far managed one word sprint. I did not factor in the amount of time I would spend on novel-related wikiventures today.

I'm seeing a lot of mixing up ActivityPub with Mastodon/implementation details and I keep almost replying but managing not to. Deep breaths. I'm much happier when I keep my head down and stick to foraging mushrooms and sitting quietly on the beach.
I think it's mostly just the novelty that so many people are talking about ActivityPub at all tbh.

Good morning! The first day in November I have had no plans! So my plan for today is to alternate catch up on photo posts with NaNoWriMo word sprints. I started strong with two pages of plot outlining at 1am, and a page of story progression on the beach at sunrise.

Lots of people I know from not online and also not web standards world are starting to show up on mastodon which is really exciting but also quite strange?!

Starting to discover that one of the things I liked in particular about my mastodon feed(s) is that it wasn't full of the same people as twitter. But as I see people I follow on twitter moving over, I have to follow them via mastodon because I don't necessarily want to lose them, but don't have the headspace to sort things out properly right now.

I saw false chanterelles in the mushroom book last year and was like pffffttt they look nothing like chanterelles what idiot would fall for that. Yesterday I climbed up a steep bank and picked a load of... false chanterelles. Sigh. (I definitely did think they were a bit shifty at the time though.)
