hilsMood is a little lighter today, which is good, but last night I dreamed I was spending Christmas with my parents (and Felix from Stray Kids for some reason) so it's clearly still weighing on my mind.
On the plus side I ended up not having to make an additional trip to the post office because the 'emergency' fob was for someone who turned out to already have one.
Last night before bed I did a post on Instagram linking to Colin Wilson's Players Tribune article and commending him for being brave enough to lay himself open and discuss his struggles with mental illness and substance abuse. Woke up this morning to find that he'd liked the post, which I wasn't expecting. Everyone in the hockey community was posting about it yesterday so I assumed he'd be overwhelmed with people tagging him in posts. He really is such a nice person. I don't think there's many NHL players who would take the time to talk to some fan in England about books and other random things we've talked about over the past year or so. I really do hope he's found some peace, as the article suggests.
Another busy day at work today. I had a 2 hour training course on Inclusion and Diversity. I was initially put off when I saw the trainer was a white dude but it was actually pretty good. Everyone was very engaged and the trainer wrote down some of my comments because he wanted to use them in future sessions.
And now it's the weekend! I've got my weekly Zoom call with the Newcastle gang tonight. A couple of days ago someone suggested we dress up for Halloween. Easy for the cosplayers in our group. Less easy for those of us whose entire wardrobe consists of fandom shirts and hockey jerseys. I ordered a cat ear headband from Amazon thinking I could draw some cat whiskers on my face, but for some reason the order got cancelled and I didn't find out until it was too late to order from elsewhere.
Maybe I'll just wear one of my hockey jerseys and say I'm dressed as an NHL player...
My partner in tomb raiding isn't around this weekend so there will be no Mystic Nine watching. Does mean I'll have more time to watch Love and Redemption though. I reckon I might get it finished by next weekend. I've got 23 episodes left and I have next Friday and the following Monday off work.
I seem to have also agreed to watch a Korean werewolf movie on Sunday evening with![[twitter.com profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
amedawg18 so that should be interesting.
Mood still isn't great but I knew the SAD would be particularly bad this year. I don't think it's a coincidence that I'm suddenly feeling very low less than a week after the clocks went back. It's still not as bad as it was in April/May so I'm counting that as win I guess.
