Evri still have my parcel. It was meant to come between 1 and 2pm, then between 4 and 5pm. It's 5.16pm. Will they deliver at all? No more online shopping unless they use Royal Mail, which is fine in my area.

I cooked a recipe yesterday that was really bland but also the herb in it makes it taste weird. I have leftovers for lunch but I can't bring myself to eat it. I don't really know what I can add to make it taste better. I had a little but can't face more. Maybe some teriyaki sauce will improve it.

Hatred, revenge, greed and entitlement are the worst parts of humanity and some people have the full bingo card.

Another chilling message from the parcel kidnappers, Evri, with a threatening "We've got your parcel."

My sleeping pattern is so strange lately. Twice a week I'll have a 10 hour sleep and the rest will be 6, 4 or 7. (See how I didn't fall for what I'm calling the Evita trap.) Last night I slept so long that today I have all the energy and I'm using it all at once. Not clever but necessary.

I find it hard to watch podcasts that go from audio only to YouTube. They had a whole setup in my head with imaginary faces and desks and posters on the walls. I can't destroy that with reality.

I've been trying recipe boxes to get myself inspired to cook for myself. My 3rd box from one is coming this week and then I'll cancel. Delivery is quite patchy and I don't always have the energy to cook so fresh ingredients don't last and that's a waste.

Trying to reschedule medical appointments so they don't clash with my mum's because I need to go with her to hers. This is what parents must go through for years. Things clash and they're not always easy to move. Respect to parents who have learned the art of juggling.

The block I live in has only a few flats and a back door leading to a concrete area and the garden. The floors are wooden so if there's a fire, it'll spread up or down and having a fire door won't help much. I think the fire safety legislation was done with only large blocks in mind.

The managing agent for the flats in my block have only a few weeks left before their contract ends and suddenly they want to do fire door insoections and the company they've hired looks like it's owned by one of their friends.

The leak from the flat above has started up again. I've emailed the council because I had to report it to them. It turns out that it's a statutory nuisance if she refuses to fix it.

Estate agents in the UK are known for being somewhat dodgy but I've just read a letter sent to every flat in a block offering a not small amount for a fob to access the building because they're meant to market a property. The block's management have contacted the estate agent.

I'm wearing my Human t-shirt today. I bought mine from Gay Pride Apparel, based in the US. One of the few American companies I will buy from. It's almost a holy garment, since one of the owners is called Jesus.

My mum has a friend whose son does a woo therapy and who refers people to other nonsense therapists. I can understand people feeling desperate when their GP can't help them or they're not recovering quickly. I wish we had actual regulation of alternative therapies in the UK.

To help me eat better and because I've had this weird tiredness for the past few months, I've switched from a veg box to a meal kit. It is easier but I also sometimes get too tired to even cook. But I have found shortcuts for cooking using my pressure cooker and rice cooker with a steamer basket.

I just had a call with a lovely GP. She's sending me for more blood tests before diagnosing me with anything and she will see me face to face next time. The NHS is doing well at my surgery.

I'm meant to be having a phone call with a doctor this afternoon. They're 14 mins late. Will I get a call? If I call to find out, I'll miss the call.

I just opened Spotify and according to what I listen to, I am 23. Ridiculous.

I meant to set an alarm for this morning, but instead I did a Kramer-style alarm. Luckily for me, it was the correct time to wake. I have an appointment that takes an hour to travel to, but I need extra time for getting lost when I get off the bus.

If this is your thing and you'll be in London on Saturday. TfL say: From 08:00 until 21:00, Goswell Road/Aldersgate Street will be closed between Baltic Street and Long Lane/Beech Street (including Carthusian Street from Charterhouse Square, Glasshouse Yard and Fann Street) for filming.

I sent an email on Monday to the accounts dept of the property management, asking for a reply. Of course they haven't replied. They've been sacked anyway with just over 4 weeks before their contract ends. Should have happened a year ago.

Just spent a quick 10 minutes peering into the rabbit hole of companies a dodgy bloke has been involved in, most have closed. A few have been struck off, I assume because they didn't file documents. The other directors seem to be the same for most on the list. One woman was a director for one day.

There was a small child having a very loud meltdown on the bus this morning. Her mum was taking her to nursery school and the kid didn't want anything to help her stop crying. Her father had left for work and she wasn't happy about it.

Never go to bed angry. Stay up all night getting angrier and angrier.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

I live on an area of London where the most expensive houses are under £500k (there aren't many in the area) and people can walk around with their mobiles in their hands, using the speaker to talk on the phone. So poorer people who are irritating live in my area.

It's funny because it's true

Palantir, that horrendous US company, has it's tentacles in our NHS and is trying to infiltrate more NHS trusts. Why are we giving vital contracts to America? Our health data should stay in the UK. You can email your local trust to object. notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-tar...

A human from Evri customer service emailed this morning saying they'll deliver my parcel today. I didn't believe her but it looks like they have found it after all. It hasn't arrived yet though.

My skin is itchy because I have none of the good body cream left and Evri seem to have "lost" my parcel, which I had to get delivered because there was none left in the real life shop where I buy it from. So I'll no doubt get a refund and have to find it elsewhere.

Catch 22 for me. Our property management has been fired because they refuse to give us access to our bank statements and annual accounts. I'm worried they have stolen our funds so I have withheld the last 3 months of service charges.

I ordered some skin cream from Superdrug. Not a premium brand, just for my dry skin. My local branch was out of stock and a delivery was the only option. It's gone missing with Evri.

After making an appointment at a hospital for me in a few weeks time, it's just been cancelled with no reason given. Not sure if they won't see me at all or if they will make another appointment.

One thing that makes me more angry than gambling ads is gambling ads with famous people promoting them. The latest disappointment is Danny Dyer. Why? I thought he was a decent bloke.

My GP referred me to a clinic and said the waiting time was long but I've got an appointment for a few weeks time. I feel remarkably lucky and so pleased I'm at my current surgery which takes me seriously.

It's 13 degrees in my room but I'm so warmly dressed I am actually hot. I have one of those big hoodies with the soft fleece lining and soft slouchy socks and warm pyjamas underneath the hoodie. No need for heating tonight.

I'm on my new phone and I'm getting into all my accounts. It takes a little time but it's worth it. I have a lovely new phone that was on sale and I'll get updates for 6 years so no need for a new phone for some time. I have a case with a wrist strap so I won't drop it so easily.

If you hate what Trump is doing and you can't believe American companies still grovel at his feet, as much as you are able, disengage from using American services and companies. Try it one by one, not all at once. Find alternatives and encourage others too.

It's a neighbour's birthday somewhere nearby. I can hear someone singing Happy Birthday very badly.

Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

Had my first night out in ages. Saw an average comedy show, but I was with a friend and we caught up on all our news beforehand so it was worth the uncomfortable seat in a too hot venue. Not naming the comedian because other people were laughing hysterically and it's just my opinion of their talent.

This is really useful. I recommend making sure you know about this and how to turn it off.

My lovely quiet upstairs neighbours were not quiet last night and I have been exhausted all day. I bloody hope they go to bed early tonight or I will be doing DIY every Saturday from 8am to 1pm, as allowed by the council (Council of Revenge and the local one for where I live).

I've had no response from the woman who owns the leaky upstairs flat about what her insurer wants from me (how detailed the quotes need to be) so I have emailed the insurer myself. I have the details from August when she was refusing to fix the leak that started a year ago.

Does he even own a suit?

It makes such a difference to my sleep quality having upstairs neighbours who are quiet at night. It's obvious, but after years of being kept awake and being woken up at various times during the night, I can now relax at night because they're not going to wake me and keep me awake.
