My name is Cat (I go by a slightly different name on different areas of the internet - for now, this'll do as a pseudonym.) I'm thirty two and Scottish.
I work full time as a care worker. I love my job. Care is an amazing career which is bogged down by mismanagement, undervaluing of labour and shitty working conditions.
My main intent for this journal is a spare place to gather together thoughts, as well as to catalogue process on various hobbies and writing. At the moment I really enjoy cross stitch and knitting, though I also crochet (something I'm not over-keen on nowadays).
I also like to read, but reading is a hobby I tend to enjoy thinking about more than I actually get round to doing! I primarily read fiction, with occasional non-fiction sprinkled in, and I'm not constrained to one genre or subject area. Most years I set a goal to read 52 books, which I've achieved... once. Despite having any form of demand placed on me by others, I *love* to set myself arbitrary goals, lmao.
Other things I enjoy: Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Wikipedia rabbit holes, podcasts (I hate the fandomification of true crime, so probably won't talk about it a lot, but find it fascinating; I also like shows about culture and history), cooking, occassionally I watch anime or read manga.
I'm open to friend requests, comments, whatever! :-)
