 finished reading empire of pain around 11pm. there was a statistic in there that i am going to paraphrase. it said that after they released the "tamper proof" pill, that out of everyone that died from heroin overdoses in the following years 4 out of 5 of them started their drug abuse and additction with prescription painkillers. wild. prescription drug abuse is such a weird thing that nobody really talks about. it must be fine because its come from a doctor! but its not, and it can and does ruin lives. 

finished all my work training pretty quickly today so i caught up on some youtube. i really enjoy videos by morgan evelyn cook, diaries of tay and project no buy. i thought about doing a no buy, but a) i've already messed it up and b) i don't really buy much anyway. i should probably put a self imposed ban on shopping on vinted though. or maybe just allow myself one purchase a month. now i WFH most of my day to day outfits are going to be leggings and a warm hoody, rather than any of the cute dresses in my wardrobe. 

i don't think chris slept very well last night due to me not being able to breathe so i hope he is asleep when i go upstairs. i called off going to dog training because i feel so rough and i have done no practice with moose all week. i had the bookswaps meeting at 6pm and i joined via phone rather than give people the lurgy. hannah being pregnant etc i can't think of anything worse than making her ill. i am pretty sure reading a mirror crack'd from side to side by agatha christie traumatised me and i know i haven't got german measles but i don't want to be the cause of anything going wrong! 

one random person has joined our book club on fable - i hope they are prepared for the level of snarkiness that has been going on. so far i am not loving the series. but our next read is set up and it is assassins blade. i have never known novellas be over 450 pages.
