Hometime 😴 Kenya and Uganda you've been beautiful 🩷

[Lauren @lkglib]

Baby elephants. That's it.

[Lauren @lkglib]

But wait there's now a London date on my 30th birthday.

[Lauren @lkglib]

I was so good at not my checking my emails for Taylor swift presale codes while working today only to find out there is now more waiting until next week 😩

[Lauren @lkglib]

Me from two years ago would be disgusted by the ease with which I buy a large fancy latte without even looking at the non caffeinated drinks

[Lauren @lkglib]

This feels targeted. Gonna have to get a coffee here later just to prove it worked

[Lauren @lkglib]

I thought getting to the town was terrifying. And then I thought getting the directions to the temple was terrifying. And then I thought getting to the temple was terrifying. None of it compares to this boss fight. BotW was not this scary 😵‍💫

[Lauren @lkglib]

Woke up early and thought I'd be able to clear the lightning temple in Tears of the Kingdom before work and I think it was the scariest thing in this game and I barely saw phase 2 of the boss fight before dying, so that's gonna be my lunch break 😭🫥

[Lauren @lkglib]

Also if anyone knows why DX on chancery lane has had a huge queue all day please let me know. My manager and I are desperately curious 👀

[Lauren @lkglib]

Neither of us knew it even existed and my mum thinks he also forgot about it. I thought work would be a good distraction which it has been to an extent, but I'm still struggling to keep it together so wellbeing day tomorrow is being had 🙃

[Lauren @lkglib]

I've spent months coming to terms with the lack of last message or words of significance from my uncle to remember him by only for my mum to find a card he wrote when I was a baby for my 18th birthday. Taking tomorrow to process and hopefully read it

[EARLL UK @EarllUk]

This morning showed why multiple alarms are needed for me. I forgot I hadn't had to turn my usual 6am on so was woken up half an hour later by my back up and just managed to make my train, where I've spent most of the journey napping 😴😅

[Lauren @lkglib]

Have popped out on my lunch to get travel vaccinations and I'm already sad at the lack of Eurovision merchandise everywhere 😔 it's just me in my very cosy hoody 😭

[Lauren @lkglib]

This week is starting to feel more and more like a glittery fever dream and I've not even got to Liverpool Lime Street for the train back yet

[Lauren @lkglib]

Cannot stress how flat that result feels in Liverpool

[Lauren @lkglib]

Not sure how I'm supposed to go back to normal life after this week. It's been totally surreal and amazing but this is absolutely the only thing now running through my brain at any given time

[Lauren @lkglib]

Currently living my best life in the Eurovision village and definitely not thinking about my bank balance
