Treating Myself

hilsI currently have one (1) email in my work inbox which is pretty much the lowest it has been in forever. I'm sure it won't last so I'm enjoying this victory while I can.
A couple of months ago I got a gift card from work and I had no idea what to spend it on so it's just been kind of sitting there. Then yesterday I was moaning on Twitter that I love my bluetooth headphones but the ones I have really aren't that comfortable especially when I wear them for long periods of time. A couple of friends suggested Bose which I have never really thought about because Bose headphones are stupidly expensive. But then I saw they were on sale with £40 off, and I had the voucher to use, so I decided fuck it. It's not like I'm spending money on anything else and something like headphones will get a lot of use. So I ordered some. I really hope it's worth it.
Had a reasonably productive evening last night. I made a start on that web novel I said I'd format and it doesn't need as much work doing as I originally thought. Managed to get 4 chapters done before dinner so I'll just keep chipping away at it.
Also beta read my friend's fic and left a lot of comments which hopefully she will find useful. She's at a conference (online) for the next few days but I've said I'm happy to talk through things with her if she wants at a later point.
Also managed to watch another 2 episodes of Love and Redemption last night which means I am now just over 25% done in a week, which is pretty good going. I can't binge shows as fast as I used to because my weekends are now pretty much entirely taken up with social activities which just leaves evenings after work to watch stuff. It's still a delightful show and I had a brief anxious moment when I thought they'd killed off one of the main characters but now I don't think they have. It's such a sweet, fun show and I'm still loving it.
Now I need to go and do some writing sprints with Sarah. Going to start my Lost Tomb fic which I'm still feeling kind of anxious about. I think my main issue is I generally like to read in a fandom before I start writing in it and there isn’t a huge amount of Lost Tomb fic, especially Reboot era. Hopefully it'll all turn out okay. I've joined a Discord for the show and everyone seems very nice and supportive. I'm sure if I need help or motivation they'll be there for me.
