Reposted by HelenMysterious Galaxy Bookstore @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social · 23/04/2025So, B&N is having a preorder sale at the same time as Amazon is having a sale, and both are targeting Independent Bookstore Day, which is one of the biggest in-store shopping days of the year. It feels shitty as an indie bookstore to be targeted by billionaire and venture-backed corporations 5296117

Helen @helec.bsky.social · 07/04/2025I'm struggling to be productive outside of work - the world is such a mess and work is awash in uncertainty - so tonight I want to declare my weekend achievements. I completed my tax return, cleaned my kitchen and I set up my cats favourite portable chair in the living room and she is happy. 010

Helen @helec.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Sometimes I can get lost in my work and forget the chaos around me. Today unfortunately is a case of seeing the chaos and facing the complete uncertainty of my life which should spur on action, but instead seems to lead to paralysis. 030

Helen @helec.bsky.social · 25/12/2024Merry Christmas and happy Channukah to all who celebrate. I have no festive pictures but I do have a cat in a box. 050
Helen @helec.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Household discoveries: It turns out at my new apartment my dryer has a water tank that needs emptying occasionally. On the one hand happy I figured it out without needing to call maintenance, on the other hand I can see this getting annoying. 010
Helen @helec.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Got a long list of things to do but am currently sitting on the sofa while my cat gently snores and that seems the most important thing to do right now. 000

Helen @helec.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Today was clean out old apartment day. Naturally took twice as long as I expected but it is done. Tomorrow will be football on the telly and reorganising the cupboards at the new apartment. Never a dull moment. 000
Helen @helec.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Celebrating the small victories - this evening I managed to unpack all my books and get them onto the bookshelves. I'm sure I'll do plenty of rearranging but for now the books are on shelves. 010
Helen @helec.bsky.social · 18/11/2024The movers arrived just as i managed to retrieve my cat from her hiding spot under the bed. She's now shut away until everything is moved out and I know she's not happy but I think we're pretty much neck and neck on stress. 100
Helen @helec.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Just back from a brilliant gig by @aimeemann.bsky.social - just sublime. Happy to get to see Jonathan Coulton too. 000
Helen @helec.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Preparing to move next week and this evening have just cleared out all the bathroom cabinets and drawers - divided up what to take with me and ruthlessly threw everything else away. Very cathartic. However my cat is looking at me very suspiciously. 010
Helen @helec.bsky.social · 14/11/2024Had a big appraisal at work today. Messed up my talk timings so ended it abruptly and now feel depressed about the world and my work. Looking for some light. 000
Helen @helec.bsky.social · 10/11/2024Wow things are indeed livening up here. For the people who started following me recently I am a sporadic poster at best but am trying to be a bit more present. I am a Brit living in Arizona with my cat. This weekend I am supposedly packing up as I'm moving soon, but mostly watching football. Oops. 000
Helen @helec.bsky.social · 05/11/2024Am trying to find my cats level of relaxedness but maybe sharing a picture helps. 050
Helen @helec.bsky.social · 18/09/2024Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #673,457! Surprised by this as it felt I came late, but I guess it was still in the era of invites so numbers have shot up since then. 1 010
Helen @helec.bsky.social · 22/02/2024I had day surgery yesterday and stayed with a friend overnight. As she headed out to work this morning she apologized for leaving me on my own, but honestly spending a morning with 2 Australian Shepherd dogs is pretty perfect for me. 060
