Pamper Sessions

Everyone deserves a bit of pampering now and then. 

It’s all about finding those little moments of joy and relaxation in all the hubbub and chaos of daily life. How about you? What’s your go-to way to pamper yourself? Maybe a spa day, a favourite hobby, or just some quiet time hidden under the stair with your chocolate stash away from the partner and kids? 

Here are some I do:

☐ Paint my nails. Normal or Gel. I like gels as they last a touch longer being bashed by wheelchair spokes, rims and walls. I also put little designs on them like ghosties or pumpkins or flowers. And if I haven't bashed my nails too recently I have lovely long nails to doodle over. 

☐ Ask for help to take a shower. Like, sure, this probably might be simplified to just taking a long soak or hot shower for you. But hay. It can be sexy. Or Silly. In my case I feel sorry for my neighbouring room that has a thin wall between her head and my wash room. Because me and my partner sing horrendously to each other earwig songs or are in fits of giggles. Bodies are funny things and did you know you can use your boobs to blow big bubbles. We are mature adults, like, obviously. 

☐ Take a nap. Like an honest to god PLANNED nap. No oh I slept in. or shit I passed out. I mean saying, "at 3 o'clock today we are going to lie down for two hours. We deserve it and we can tackle the kitchen this afternoon."

☐ Do some crafts and leave the mess for future me to sort out. Tonight it's all about the relaxing bits and bobs.

☐ Treat myself to a chocolate bar square or two, or line... Ssssshhhh, you saw noffin. 

☐ Listen to my whiplash music playlists. Because who needs to stick to one genre.

☐ Read an absolutely terrible book, a Necronomicon or get through some of that Ao3 addiction my pen friends keep enabling. It's unfair they're good writers. (Do I know the source material? Often not, but that's not going to stop me supporting my friends) 

What would you add to the list?

What's your experience with Microsoft?

 As a Creative Writing Student, I have an interesting relationship with Microsoft products. Word and I have worked together since the age of Clippy. We work together so regularly that my computer weeps with joy when I open my projects. We spend hours together staring blankly at each other. Our trials and tribulations also extend to the unique differences in software versions. For instance, my computer, laptop, and the university's library all have different versions, which can cause some interesting formatting errors. I use Excel to track word count, story progression, and CYOA paths because English requires a lot of math. I know how to use Outlook even if we aren't on speaking terms, it knows what it did. It's so secure that it bricks your computer if you lose access to the e-mail. I use Publisher often to type-set projects and I get on well enough with PowerPoint to make niche presentations and Pitch Decks. I currently use Edge. OneNote seems interesting, but ...
