eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The thing is that the only thing stopping me from dropping 150€ on books is just my own will power. The fact that my TBR stacks will become physically unstable is not as much of a deterrent because I can always create more stacks. 120 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I'm going to a book birthday today, and I'm both very excited (one of my favorite danmei is getting published in German) and a little nervous (it's just far enough out of my comfort zone that I'm feeling a bit anxious). 040 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I need to set up a new journal for October as I filled my current bujo and when filling out the future log, I was so excited again for October because I'm going to not one, but TWO book fairs, Frankfurt and Berlin. 🥰 030 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 25/08/2026In other news, I'm no longer allowed to buy journaling supplies. I have all the washi tape, stickers, motive paper and pens a person could need. 050 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I'm trying to spend less time on my phone: I mostly play mindless coloring games and replacing that with more reading (already at 102 books this year) and learning more languages (Japanese & Chinese, adding Korean next month) is going about as well as you can imagine. 170 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 29/07/2026By genre, roughly by author and then every which way I can fit them in the shelf 😉 they're double stacked and on top of each other. It's not pretty and it doesn't have to be (I don't have enough space for as many shelves I would need for single rows) 110 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I'm going to Stockholm tomorrow for a work trip and tbh I'm most excited about it only being 28C there. Last night it was 28C in the middle of the night in Berlin. 🫠 010 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 16/03/2026I'm very happy and relieved to have found a new job after five months of intense job hunting. I start in April so I'll be home for a few more weeks, but now I feel like I can properly enjoy the remaining time. 4140 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Surprised that in 2026 some companies still schedule calls just to reject you for a job. Just send me an email and offer a feedback call! That's much more appreciated if you still feel the need to justify your decision but I seriously didn't need to spend TWO DAYS being excited/anxious for this. 150 0

eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 22/12/2025I'm taking the next two weeks off job hunting (no one is in the office anyway) & am determined to take a proper rest. Job hunting continues to be the worst (so many rejections don't go great with my feeling of self-worth) but can't say more w/o a locked account. 4100 0

eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 30/10/2025I'm not having a great time right now. On Friday we had to put our cat to sleep and now I don't have any cats anymore and I find that incredibly difficult to deal with. It will get better at some point, I guess, but right now I am just very, very sad. 960 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 22/09/2025It's my last week at my job and it feels really weird to not have something new lined up already (I still have time until the end of the year). 150 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 18/06/2025I just finished reading "The River has Roots" by Amal El-Mohtar - beautiful language and illustrations, and the right mix of happy/sad (I cried but it was good, I rarely cry at books). Loved the bonus short story, too, and am now looking forward to the short story collection coming out next year! 020 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Ah yes, calling my bank to lock my credit card due to fraudulent activity wasn't what I was expecting to do just before Christmas! No harm done yet, I should be able to get out of the fraudulent entry, just annoying! 060 0

eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I finished Veilguard. It's entirely normal to consider starting a second playthrough right away, right? 320 0

eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 05/07/2024I kind of just bought 25 books. I regret nothing. 130 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 27/01/2024I'm not doing well at the moment - it's not one big thing, but a lot of small ones. Trying to get better which involves a lot of "cruel to be kind" type of medicine. If I'm silent/not reacting, it's not you, it's very much me. ♥ 420 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 14/10/2023I just bought two new games for the switch for my vacation in September, and let's not even talk about all the stuff in my PS4 library I haven't gotten to yet, but I see so many people talking about Baldur's Gate 3 and Assassin's Creed Mirage that I really want them. 🙈 140 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 29/09/2023I need to cast on 220 stitches using Italian cast on and I already had to frog three attempts yesterday because at some point I just... stopped counting, lost I was the motions. 000 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 29/09/2023I don't know what's up with Amazon Germany, but it's again postponed the delivery of an English paperback (the latest @kjcharles.bsky.social). Obviously I already have the ebook on my Kindle but the same thing also happened with The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen. 100 0

eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 11/09/2023I would really like to know how to be on vacation without immediately picking up a Project. I'm currently painting my mother's linen cupboard. 020 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 30/08/2023My ear is getting better with occasional down trends, and it's not even that it's so terribly bad, it's just that I would like to be fully recovered, thank you very much. 040 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 29/08/2023Apparently sleeping in a horizontal position is not working out because the earache came back 😔 apparently it has to do with the fluid not being able to flow away? So tonight I get to build a support so I can sleep upright in my bed, or to sleep on the couch. Fun times! 000 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 28/08/2023I've been awake since 5am and I got up at 6.30am. It's only 9.30am and I feel ready for the day to be over. 🙃 On the upside, my ear feels better. It's blocked again but it was unblocked for several hours last night! 030 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 26/08/2023I have possibly an ear infection, possibly it's just clogged up. I have ear drops now, so hopefully it will be fine soon, but I would rather not have to deal with this at all. 000 0
eledhwenlin @eledhwenlin.bsky.social · 18/08/2023I am low-key annoyed because now I have to check three social apps instead of one. This isn't the first time I've been through this, but every time it gets more annoying. Let's bring back mailing lists and Usenet forums. 010 0
