Took youngest to work this morning, then went back to bed. Scrolled for an hour, now I'm going to sleep, because I'm exhausted and want to hide from the world.

Okay but hear me out: A nighttime café in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, free pastry samples are served to all who enter, the walls are adorned with van Gogh paintings, there are emotional support black cats roaming about, and Edgar Allan Poe readings occur during every full moon.

Visiting with Grandma (repost from March 2024)

I'm allowing myself to slow right down, to snail pace, after getting medical advice yesterday. So, a hot chocolate is very welcome. I've been up for two hours and my heavy body is currently telling me to nap, so that's what I'm going to do. Let my body tell me what it needs ☕️😴💜

Just been to the doctor. So, my CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) has kicked in with this virus and my body's struggling to fight it. My body has basically gone into a chronic stress response mode, or survival mode. All I can do right now is rest, and do anything I can to boost my immune system.

I feel so nauseous and shattered, like my limbs are dead weights, and I feel so heavy. I haven't felt like this for so long, and it's really difficult to process. I'm trying not to cry as the carpet's covered in dog hair, the bath and sink are horrible, and I cant do anything. I feel so down.

I can't even watch the news anymore. Anything the US Trump administration does is chaos, with nothing to back it up. It feels like we're all being globally pranked in the worst possible way. We're all paying the costs while those right up at the top get even richer and more powerful.

Think I'm finally getting over this bout of tonsillitis. I thought it had gone last weekend, but then a busy few days knocked me right out. It's the first time since I was 26, that I actually felt I was slipping back into my CFS. I'm usually so careful when ill. I've been exhausted beyond anything.

Exhausted. Tonsillitis last week, leaving my body achy and shattered. Then we went away for the weekend, so I was on alert. Bit of stomach upset when we got home, and Monday I increased my gabapentin, which is shutting me down. Severe nausea, somnolence, muscular weakness, and so much glitching!

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

So Starmer is now allowing the US to use UK military bases to launch attacks on Iran. None of us want to be part of Trump's agenda... and Starmer doesn't appear to be able to say No to the guy. When is this hell going to stop?

Currently trending on X.

Did a foolish thing yesterday... I'm hypermobile, I knew that. Heard that putting your feet sole-to-sole with straight legs means hypermobile ankles. Yep, I could do it, but also dislocated the toe next to my big toe by trying it! Had to push it back in, now got a huge bruise 🤣 0/10 Do not recommend

Went to Cardiff yesterday to see Diversity on tour at New Theatre. It was a beautiful show with great dancing and meaning. We definitely over did it, though, too soon after tonsillitis, but was worth it!

A masterclass in confounding the interviewers by the interviewed! Beautifully done. The Greens have got my vote.

Been suffering with tonsillitis, after my oldest and youngest had it last week. I need it to be gone by tomorrow as were going away for the night and seeing a show!

To be honest, most of my menopausal day is spent putting my jumper on and taking it off again... ad infinitum. *sigh*

I have a thing for moss... and moss swathing trees is just gorgeous, in my local forests #SundayPixTrees 🌿🌲💚

My favourite oak tree, that continues to thrive even with a hollow, open trunk 🌳💚 #SundayPixTrees

Dear Lucy Powell, A response to your letter:

Saw the doctor, got the examination over with, and will wait referral. I've been putting this examination off for a while, and I'm relieved to have a plan in place now. Huge thank you to my friend who pushed me to get this done 💜

Been waiting 40 minutes in the surgery for a doctor's appt, and I'm really freaked out about this one. I wish it could be done already 😔

Happy Valentines everyone, we're having fun, and I'm drunk by now ❤️

I didn't even know it's World Cancer Day today, either. I'm not sure about all these awareness 'days', but, I suppose if we talk about it, we can encourage checking ourselves and working towards even quicker diagnosis/treatment. Mum passed just over 9 years ago. It's hard remembering.

Fuck cancer. My daughter's boss passed away. She only found a lump 3 months ago, she was fine before that. And today, she's gone. And my father-in-law got diagnosed with a form of leukaemia yesterday. He lost his wife in October, surgery for pelvis and hip replacement last week. This is too much 😥

A Crystal Grid for Imbolc and Brigid's celebration to slowly wake us up as light increases every day. We are at the halfway point between Winter and Spring equinoxes, and light will continue to grow 🕯🤍🌿

My lovely father-in-law came through his surgery, and is recovering well in high spirits! So, there are wonderful things to concentrate on and feel great gratitude for 💙

My father-in-law, who's the sweetest man, has just gone into surgery for a full hip replacement and pelvis repair after a fall last week. His children and grandchildren are all very scared at the moment. This man deserves every positive vibe, prayer, and hope you can spare right now 💜😔

I'm struggling a bit at the moment. Too much happening everywhere, and I can't find motivation, which leads to procrastination, and the inability to do the things, anything. I just want to stop for a while.

This is the best party political broadcast I've seen in a very, very long time.

Oh God, Father-in-law has just fallen and broken his hip. Then in hospital they've found that his hip bone went right through his pelvis. His bloods aren't good and they think his previous prostate cancer may have caused bone thinning 😥 His family are still grieving their mum. This is awful.

Why is it whenever I've recently bought a pair of Dr Martens (or anytime...), there's always another pair I'd love? Hmmm.

I thought missing a dose of Venlafaxine wasn't easy, but this is the first time I've missed a dose of Gabapentin and - the pain throughout my body is horrendous. I feel like I've been beaten up! I'll be carrying spare pills with me at all times from now on!
