I probably depend too much of my self-worth on my job.

Man when I was a professor this was such a big issue for me. Whenever my students failed I saw it as a reflection of me being a bad teacher. You gotta leave work at work, though.

I’m glad you’re not hating your job!

1. Realised that today I didn't hate my job.... all things considered  

2. See above feels pretty liberating

3. See above reminds me that I probably depend too much of my self-worth on my job. But hey. 

Aww Emily is lovely. Her outfit is fab. Was the chair an original item as well? Photographing dolls is so much fun I love to do photoshoots with my own dolls.

1. Feeling a lot better today.
2. Baked some Xmas cookies this morning.

I also like observing people like this!

1 Baked some bread which worked

2 Went to a gallery to look at some painting 

3 found this image I took a few years ago. Watching people getting on with their business oblivious to me. I like the way all the biscuits are lined up too.

I know how you feel. I’ve been like that with car lights lately and omg they are so blindingly bright in a bad way. The majority of Christmas lights we saw were more static as opposed to twinkling, but there are quite a few lights with odd twinkling parts.

Blinking lights make me a brain massage (not too bright and not blinking too fast) otherwise I get pains like needless in my head and eyes.
