So.

I wanna get the weekend off (meaning Thursday to Sunday), which is doable with my schedule. I just don’t know how. I need to cram 20 hours worth of work into three days - but how?

Eight hours today, six hours tomorrow, six hours on Wednesday?
Six hours today, six tomorrow, eight on Wednesday?
Eight today, eight tomorrow, four on Wednesday?

The last one seems to be the most efficient one…ugh, this is difficult. I just need a few days off but I don’t wanna use up my spare holiday time. Those days will probably come in handy mid-december.

i know I complain about work a lot, but I’m very well aware that it will be a pain to find a new one that easily as soon as my contract runs out in January, and this flexible schedule is an absolute blessing.

(If only the boss were better.)

EDIT: Chose the last option. long weekend ahoy!

I’m kind of disappointed that no one at the office so far has noticed that I’ve dyed my hair.

Granted, I’m naturally a dark brunette, so going from that to black isn’t exactly a gigantic step…but still. It’s very noticeable.

I’m already setting up my bullet journal for 2020, which might seem early, but this usually takes me fairly long so I thought I’d start now.

I got too ambitious with my last BuJo and was too fixated on the Pretty and less on the Practicality, and it quickly felt like a chore. So I’m taking a step back and try to be more practical - without leaving the Pretty behind altogether though.

This time I decided to include a simple pastel moon phase calendar for the year, because I like to moongaze. I made a few mistakes along the way, and the quarters don’t quite look enough like quarters - but hey, I can still make sense of it, and that’s the essential. I’m so in love with this spread.

Inktober 2019 - Day 1: Ring

I didn’t want to draw a classical ring, although I love jewellery design, so I settled for a stone ring/circle, high on a cliff, with the sea in the background. I’d love to visit such a place one day.

Tools used:

•  Legami “My Notebook” in Pink - Plain Ivory paper 90 g/m²
•  Staedtler Pigment Liner 0.3
•  Pencil & Eraser

I was expecting bills in the mail. Instead, this lovely sticker by @bluecrownedbird was chilling in my mailbox. What a great start to this afternoon!

Thank you so much, dear! ❤

So there’s a storm announced for Sunday, and slight rain for tomorrow…umbrella it will be, then!

Only that I might have to purchase a new, neutral one; I’m not sure if it’d be stylistically wise to take my pink Pusheen umbrella  to the Steampunk convention, lol.

Though the weather forecast says it will be raining in the morning, and we’ll be there in the afternoon, so…

If you’re from Luxembourg (even if you’re not and you’re attending), and you’ll happen to see me – come say hi! I won’t be wearing the exact same costume as in this picture, but I’ll be wearing the same wig and hat. (Also I got new glasses, so there’s that.)
