A long-short day
Jan. 26th, 2024 10:36 pmToday would have been our niece's 36th birthday. Still takes me by surprise.
And so sad to hear Jurgen Klopp is moving on. He's been such a great leader for our great club.
You know those days when this morning feels like it happened a week ago but suddenly it's way past your bedtime and stuff - so MUCH stuff - has happened in between? I have a lot of those.
Today actually started with me sleeping through my alarm - or turning it off in my sleep, not sure which. But I guess I needed the sleep...? And since today was a WFH day AND mostly desk-based, it didn't matter too much. Got through some work and two loads of washing, feeding husband, son and myself at various points.
Then my chat buddy turned up an hour earlier than usual, which was nice because I had a meeting that lasted most of the afternoon and it gave me more time to chat with them before it started. The meeting was pretty productive but ChatGPT let me down again. It has a limit on the size of file you can give it and when you have a meeting that runs for 75 minutes with 4 people all talking a LOT (in the way I noted yesterday), you have a) too many words and b) almost no way of knowing how to chunk it up. Maybe it's because I'm using the free version? But there's no point upgrading because when we move to Windows 11 we'll get Copilot to play with, and that will be happening pretty soon. Anyway, by some miracle I remembered all (most?) of the actions and was able to check the transcript for bits I wasn't sure of, and got everything I remembered I needed to do boxed off before the end of my working day.
This evening, I wrapped grandson #2's presents and used up all the non-Christmas wrapping paper. I don't normally wrap presents - I've been using (and reusing!) gift bags and tissue paper for years. But the husband likes seeing small people rip things open, so we go with paper. But note to self - invest in some wrapping paper!
I did a bit more on my miniature tea shop. There's no real deadline on it but I do want to finish it! One of the items is a dresser with 6 shelves, none of which are straight or correctly spaced ROFL. I did my best but it is what it is. I'm now working out how to fit all the bags and tins of tea on it, when nothing can go where it's supposed to.
And we rounded the night off by watching the final of Traitors. It was sooo tense and... I can't say any more because SPOILERS but it was really good.
Right, time for bed. Night, DW!
