Another bed day sadly so I’ve binge watched most of Australian Traitors. Took a bit of getting used to without Claudia and the castle but it’s still fun

I have another #buyastrangerabook day offer for you. @magentakoru.bsky.social is offering to buy someone the book of their choice, up to £15! So, if there's a particular book you're after, get in touch. UK only

#caturday Pic taken yest of Princess at my daughter’s on her fave blanket 🩷

Worst fireworks ever tonight, so loud and long they must have been from a neighbour. Both cats totally terrified and hiding. I hate this season. No doubt more to come at the weekend. Grrr

@classicfm.com thank you for another year of the fabulously calming Pet Classics. Elderly Quinn and his brother Six are very grateful

Just finished the Scarpetta no 29 novel Sharp Force. Patricia Cornwall is a genius, I love all these characters. A good way to pass a pain filled day after physio yesterday

Ok so I’m very late to the party but I’ve binge watched Celebrity Traitors last couple days (daughter insisted I’d like it) and it’s been brilliant. Looking forward to the final!

The way too many talk about disabled people, it's almost like they think we enjoy it, and want to live the way we do. Trust me, there's nothing enjoyable about it. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. But it's our everyday reality, so we have to try and make the best of it.

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?" She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

It is a very very bad spinal pain day today. My coping mechanism (aside from meds) is a 600 page book (gripping), cat cuddles and heat blanket. But I still after all these years feel so guilty for lying here doing nothing productive 😢

Spot on!

lol!

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

Please be kind to yourself, as well as others today #Kindness #SelfCare 💛🪷🦋🪷💛 (Image: @rebmed)

Happy Caturday from Princess aka Kitty Brucknall. She’s falling asleep to my Liszt classical music lesson on Zoom #caturday

6 years since part 2, now the final book of the trilogy is here. Wooo The Book of Dust - The Rose Field by #PhilipPullman

Just received these beautiful flowers (and some brownies) from a lovely lady I used to counsel in my addictions support days. We’ve kept in touch for years since and she’s one of the nicest people

Disabled people almost always are feeling worse than they'll tell you. Their symptoms are almost always worse than you know about. What you see is never the full story.

It utterly baffles me that someone would think taking away from disabled people to save money is the better option when the super rich are right there, with tonnes of spare money that they wouldn’t even miss. No one needs to be a billionaire. Disabled people do need money and transport to live.

Pumpkin and Caramel Starbucks treat after flu jab. Hoping my body doesn’t have a 3 day reaction like last time 🤞

A rare lap moment with Kiki who lives with my daughter now and is much calmer and happier. She’s sporting her purple ghosty Halloween collar

Sleep issues is one of the worst parts of #fibromyalgia and #chronicpain ☹️

Happy Birthday lovely Karen @karenpearny.bsky.social Hope you’re having a nice day and there will be cake 🎂🎉🎉🎉

Neck MRI scan done this afternoon, hospital is working til 8pm at weekends to catch up scans. Just hope it shows what the hell is going on. Was also able to talk to a very nervous patient dreading her first MRI and calm her down. And then pumpkin Starbucks reward 🎃

For the actual fucking love of god. The person responsible for the gaslighting of thousands of people with ME/CFS with CBT and torturing them with graded exercise therapy, both of which were then tried again on Long Covid patients. An absolute menace to the sick or vulnerable.

Our gorgeous Quinny is deteriorating 💔. (Trying to tempt him with treats - these new cat lollies are stupid though and just break apart). Hoping he will last til my daughter’s birthday in a few weeks but won’t be allowing him to suffer. Dreading what’s ahead 😢

Yup!

Fluffy (Six) has realised the heating is at last on in the evenings and is back to his cosy hammock #caturday

Helping eldest sort out some wedding admin today while laying on her bed with cats and chocolate (she knows my needs well). Blimey anything with the word wedding in it is about triple priced!

#chronicpain #chronicillness #fibromyalgia

This is a fantastic piece about how people think you can just cure intractable disease and disability if you try 😡😡 and the publishers who aren’t interested in real life chronic illness stories without a happy ending lithub.com/nature-is-no...

Yup!

Princess has a leg wound that she’s made sore from licking so the cone of shame is out. How cute is this?! Originally very grumpy but now learnt to fall asleep into the collar 😂

My bestie Quinn has been for his follow up ultrasound and bloods today. In a month, his pancreas has got worse and now cancer has spread to lymph nodes. He’s home for palliative care, many treats and cuddles until he looks poorly or in pain when we will have to say goodbye. We are all so sad 💔😢

Six and I feeling the same about life! #caturday

This is my very nervy rescue Kiki who moved 2 days ago to live with my daughter away from her 2 bullying brothers. She is like a different cat and laid on my lap purring for 2 hours yesterday when I visited, the first time I’ve ever had her come on my lap 🥰🥰 #caturday

It's beginning to look a lot like... Yep, finally been able to photograph some of the Christmas decorations that I'm listing. #Christmas #Craft #GiftIdeas #Mhhsbd

This made me chuckle! #chronicillness #chronicpain

Labour 🥀 crushed disabled people again Tom Gordon MP's Lib Dem 🔶 amendment to allow disabled people to use bus passes 🚌all day long, not just after 9:30 a.m. ⏰ was defeated by the Labour whip 🥀 and Conservatives 🔷 refusal to support

My two girl cats (mum and daughter) have successfully moved to her new house this afternoon. They were way more chilled on arrival than expected. So I’m down to the 2 boys now and no more bullying hopefully.

Hooked already and over 200 pages in on publication day. Dan Brown - The Secret of Secrets. I know a lot of people slate his books but like Grisham you always know what you’re getting #books #booksky

Not enjoying the new meds (imipramine) so far - constant headache and head pressure and lots of nausea. Hoping the side effects subside but not convinced given my track record

Contacted the council twice now about numerous flags put high up on their lamp-posts. Surely if it’s on council property, they should be removing them? It’s so offensive it make my blood boil

Been to niece’s wedding for couple days and my body has rebelled brutally. Migraine in hotel all night before, wobbly legs at wedding then confined to my room straight after the food and missed entire evening, instead vomitting repeatedly from sensory overload. Horrible to miss so much 😢💔

Not a good pain week grrr

Back to vets today just for a weigh in and the lad had put on 0.4kg which is amazing as he’s been losing loads. Scans and bloods in 2 weeks
