Good morning everyone, hope you are well. Got my coffee!

Today is the Helsinki Pride march and afterparty here in Finland. 🏳️‍🌈

I'm not able to make the march, as I don't do well in big crowds. Have to watch out for my back, too.

I can, however, follow the march live from TV, as our national broadcasting company will be streaming it live. 🎥

So happy Saturday, and and happy Pride. We are all important and valid just as we are. ☕ 💙

I was out yesterday, without too much pain in my back.

Got some writing done, went to the library, and read half of the new book I borrowed. Today some more writing is in the plans. ✍️

Calling my Dr again, as the pain is resurfacing. Hoping for a referral to a specialist to figure out if there is a structural problem in my back causing all of this.

Muscle relaxants and painkillers. I'm hoping this will take the worst pain away.

Woken up in the middle of the night with some sharp pains down my neck. Guess it's a trip to the Dr's today.

Good morning! ☕

How are you today?

I had a week full of ups and downs, but was able to pull myself together towards the end of the week. I guess.

Need to catch up on Path of Exile, as my friends are way ahead of me. Didn't have the it in me to play in the evenings for the whole week.

Writing needs to happen as well, but I have my holiday coming up in less than two weeks, which is when I've scheduled most of my writing work.

Good morning! How are you today?

The new Path of Exile game league came out on Friday, and I've been busy playing that. Otherwise I have struggled a bit with my self esteem, but took it out on drafting a story which I'm planning to submit to a writing competition later this year.

Now I have a huge mug of coffee, and going to start up Path of Exile one more time. ☕

What are you up to?

Hi all, hope you are well ☕

I had a real tough week, mainly because of the heatwave we experienced here in the north. I'm not good with high temperatures, so I could barely sleep and concentrate the whole week. Now things are a bit better, I could sleep and finally pick up on my reading list.

Now I'm enjoying my Sunday morning coffee, and going to pick up my next book (Lautturi by Jenna Kostet).

How are you this week?

Stardew Valley has an opt-in multiplayer beta. *continues to buy Stardew Valley for all friends and family* #gaming

More watercolour happened today as well, after a slow day of sitting out on the balcony and sucking in the rare spring sunlight.

Really happy to be back with an open mind and a decent tray of watercolours again. Had quite a few years in between now and the previous time I felt comfortable working with watercolours.

It's a great feeling when colours and lines work well on paper.

Hi everyone, I hope you are well.

I'm making some progress on my second short story, set in the same world as my first draft. Got a vague idea what's going to happen there.

I also noticed that Godspeed You! Black Emperor is perfect background music for this. It fits this slightly sad and dystopian scifi a bit too well. #amwriting

Good morning! Hope you are well. I have some fresh coffee. ☕

I bought a new 24 colour aquarelle pan set yesterday. Trying to get back into the beautiful world of watercolour. It's been too long. 🖌

For the #infosec world, this week I witnessed first-hand how a phishing attacker registered a domain and utilised it for their first campaign bare minutes later. They move quick, luckily it was also spotted quick. It's a fast moving world.

I haven't figured out a new #introduction yet. I'm trying, just currently blocked by about thirty different things that I want to say. Maybe I'll just do thirty new intro messages?

Hi there. I don't do April's fools. Just so you know.

Been busy building a new Pinterest board for story ideas. Something is slowly forming there.

I also finished the first draft of a scifi short story, and sent it to a friend. Scares the hell out of me. My first short story written in Finnish, too. Lots of firsts in the past few weeks.

I seem to have a very well scheduled weekly posting interval, it seems. Hope you are all well. ☕

It's Easter Friday here in Finland, which we call "Long Friday". Long Friday is long, and luckily a public holiday.

The second week went by in my new job, and I think I see a couple of things forming:

🍎 Processes!
🍌 Things I still need to learn
🍍 Some not-so-nice-things I will need to discuss
🌵 Signs of bro-culture.. Which I have to catch & turn around.

I'll keep learning. That's the thing.

Hi everyone! Hope you are well.

A week went by in my new job, and I'm still alive. Some pros and cons from this week:

Pros ⭐
- Fun people
- Got to do stuff day 1
- People give my thoughts airtime and serious consideration
- Office dog is cute

Cons 🌔
- Loud, small office
- Some unnecessary gender commentary on day 1
- A bottle opener the shape of a wooden phallus.. Don't ask me why. I don't know.
