Personal field work tips (Egypt, Sudan, and Central to Southern Europe; generally probably warmer climates?):

Always take a hat (or scarf - which generally holds up better in windy weather) and sunscreen. Yes, even when working inside a dig house because unplanned things happen.

Take a backpack, not a tote, and keep your water bottles in there, it'll keep cool(er) that way. Warm tea is a good idea on a hot day, drink with sugar (see bonbons).

Wet wipes and hankerchiefs (cotton or paper). Especially when drawing with sweaty hands, a hankerchief will save your paper. Wet cotton can be great to cool down a bit if you've been out in the heat.

Bonbons, chewing gum or bicuits for when you need a sugar boost. Also, makes for great bartering with the people who actually bring cake (keep close to those people).

If allowed and it doesn't make you lose concentration: I always take some podcasts and audiobooks to listen to while shoveling.

Hoping that I'm not overstepping!

Not at all, thank you for the extended tips! I'm a big fan of audiobooks while working too, so thanks for pointing that out.

[IC - A Baking Interlude]

The expression as Luc worked was almost flat, focused and steady as he looked at the finished dough and then looked at the instructions and poked it.

Simple, and plain. He had an exact slice of cooking time for the bell, and he'd even set aside the rough ingredients to make a plain, simple icing he could use to cover up imperfections. The bicuits wouldn't be anything that the Bismark would sell, or even something that a fancy innkeeper might sell their custom, but they'd be something he could leave for Lukelle to grab and munch on.

He'd seen her eyes and knew that if she'd turned down tea there was a reason. But she hadn't said no to eating, just nothing heavy.

So the biscuits were simple, and they'd baked slightly darker than they should have, but he hid that with the poorly spread icing that looked as good as a first attempt could have.

They were put into a small box, a knock on Lukelle's door before he left them there with a note tucked in, fitting the helm on before hanging it off the hook on the back of his chestplate.

[Dearest Sanguis,

Make sure to eat something. The rest are out, so - I hope they're not too badly burnt to eat.

-Luc]

Now he had someplace to be.

There's a weird sort of feeling that comes I feel little breaks, little rays of sun through clouds, in depression or in w/e is up with my head in general but also just lately

And feel motivated and created and Excited to Do something and/or create something

Because it almost always happens when I cant immediately do anything because im at home or at work

And its such a mixed bag because its like "hell yeah some kind of feeling!" And then looking down at the metaphorical ground below the clouds and rays and theres still puddles everywhere and sticks branches and other obstacles thrown around from the bad weather and

Its just frustrating. Even if the sun stays out its so much Effort

I know thats how it is. And as a whole im not doing a whole lot to sort out my mental health besides just going through the days. But just every now and then theres the Moments and they come at the worst time

#rip #anyways atm i wanna make bicuits but cant #and i will i think #but well see #i plan to try and go to a therapist when it feels a little more safe to go around town #i looked around a little but theres a place outside one of my houses' neighborhoods #that i might default to because of the distance #but theres been a lot kinda going on #even in most of it is internal #so im just trying to get by in ways that keep me feeling good even if its not all as a whole good waya #tag rambles #dont mind me #work gives me way too much time to think #and it actually can really exhaust me by the end of it
