I canβt help but wonder; if Anika Wells was called Andrew Wells and was taking his female partner to these events would there be the same level of scrutiny?

Yesterday did not end up being a good day. Husband has strongly suggested I rest up today. ( I do often need to be told these things as optimism often wins over past experience) So, that means sitting on the sofa reading the new library books. Yay.

Sorting out parent's unopened, in date medication to go back to the pharmacy to be disposed. Such a shame there isn't some way it could be passed on. I do realise there are lots of valid reasons that can't happen, but the waste is frustrating.

At the end of the day, donβt we all just want to read a riveting mystery novel, drink endless cups of tea, and eat a multitude of croissants in a quaint chΓ’teau in the French countryside during a snowstorm?

Day out in the city yesterday. World of pain today. Ankles feel like they've been Miseryed. Still in bed. But have books. Feel a bit like this deflated bow I saw while out. Still trying to give cheer while flat.

my theory is that the woke Australian cricket team found out just how much it upsets Piers Morgan when they beat England and it has motivated them to reach a new level

Just switched the cricket back on after our dinner. Well that's a nice surprise. Do I turn it off again to get the final wicket? :)

Feel like there's been an extended lull in the game. Even with Smith's 50. Could be the wine. But commentators are sprouting crap as well.

I don't really use spotify, so my wrapped was meaningless. Which means all the Aussie bands I played obsessively this year wouldn't have been counted. My most played song was probably Horses by Mallrat. A song I loved at the start of the year means even more to me as I grieve my parent.

Horrendous sinus headache. Haven't had one this bad for years. Took a while last night before I could move and walk to get some painkillers. Each stop was agony. Battling pain induced nausea. Thankful for books, cricket and aircon to help distract me from the pain.

When I was diagnosed with MS 20 years ago, I did a deep dive into the literature to search for a potential cause. The literature on vaccinations was, and remains, clear. Vaccines are not associated with risk for MS. Epstein-Barr Virus is. It sure would be nice to have a vaccine for that.

Disappointed by SBS sticking with Eurovision. You cannot take a position of neutrality when one country is committing genocide.

I know it can be a bit cringey to put your children on social media but I've decided to change my banner and include my seven youngest in it. They've had a fucking rough year, and it was touch and go for a while back the start, and I'm proud they've made it through it.

It's the start of a run of hot days in Sydney today. Had a swim this morning, picked up a stack of books from the library, and am now waiting for the Ashes. Bring it on, I have my heat coping mechanisms all set.
