I've left my tea on the side so I don't have my train drink or my cup for getting my coffee in. This is a disaster.

A project didn't include me in discussions, told me a new database was being created, but now has asked me to 'add' app developers to my database. They've changed their plan, not told me, and so not factored in any of the consequences. It's good to be back at work after a week off electioneering 😬

The problem is Starmer is a charisma void. It doesn't matter what words he said. He's just not engaging.

The Green Party may not have won in Thurrock but we've bonded & become an incredible team in only 6 weeks and I'm really proud of all of us. We've learned so much, next election we'll be a force to be reckoned with.

I walked very nearly 20km yesterday leafleting & door knocking & campaigning. We won't know until around 3pm if we've won our target seats so I've still got a few hours of hope left in me.

The insurance claim for the cat's operation has been paid so I summoned the courage to look at my credit card balance. It till hurts as I have to pay 30% of the bill but it could have been a lot worse. Get insurance folks - if you're unlucky enough to need it you'll regret not having it.

We're at the point where I don't need to tell the vet's receptionists who I am - they all know it's me & Dribbles the Cat. Not an ideal position to be in. She's now got 3 weeks of steroids to treat liver inflammation and skin irritation so that's 3 weeks of no vet trips unless something goes awry.

Catastrophic failure on C2C tonight means poor little Dribbles the Cat can't go to the vet as planned. Fortunately she's doing quite well right now so she can wait a couple of days but we won't be seeing the regular vet. I hate going to the office.

I've had a thank you for doing my job that I suspect is purely because someone else is being thanked at the same time. If it were just me I very much doubt anyone would care.

My payrise has kicked in & I'm £38 a month better off. Except I'm not because all my bills have gone up so I'm net worse off. Yay.

Back at the gym for the first time in a few weeks after ankle injury & sick cat & just setting up the spin bike has made my legs hurt

The cat did not get last night's post op pain meds because she's finally worked out what the syringe means & ran straight under the bed. She's been an absolute cow all morning so I'm guessing she's not in pain. Looks like she's not getting this morning's dose either.

If I can't go out tonight I might as well 'treat' myself to a frozen Zizzi carbonara & garlic bread with a glass of box wine

Because of a poorly cat I can't make it to tonight's #Wankernomics show at the London Palladium 😢 Ticket has been listed on Twickets at face value. Absolutely gutted I won't be able to touch base irl. Hopefully I'll be able to circle back going forward.

She's home. They didn't find anything so now we wait to find out what the liver cysts are to decide treatment, and keep the poor baby dosed with pain meds.

Dribbles the Cat is at the vet again today for surgery to biopsy her liver & check there's nothing going on that last weeks ultrasound missed. I've not heard anything from them. I'm going on no new is good news but I'm still pretty anxious.

Emailed my (ex Reform now Independent) MP about something this morning & got a reply by return that was perfectly well considered and it's another tick in the grudgingly having to admit he's OK at his job column

Non-binary parents aren’t something separate or “alternative” - they’re just loving parents doing their best.

The cat dug a nice hole in the litter in her tray then got out of the tray to poo on the floor. I've never been so glad I have hardwood floors. Getting that out of carpet would have been beyond unpleasant.

She's home, and she has cysts on her liver. She'll be having surgery on Monday. Could be worse but it's still very worrying.

I've been waiting for a call from the vet all day and time has draaaaaged. Discharge is booked for 6.45pm but I want to know she's OK (or not) now.

Greggs new chicken sausage roll - OK if you aren't a pork eater but just off being as good as the original. Follow for more top quality food reviews.

Ahead of a trip to the vet for a day of tests poor little Dribbles the Cat is nil by mouth and she's really not happy about it. She's been on & off her food so picking today to be hungry isn't going so well for her.

It was physio but she diagnosed nerve damage from my back problems pretty quickly & I have a little exercise to do every hour either the hope that will sort me out!

I am at a clinic for my ankle & I have no idea what clinic it is. Could musculoskeletal, could be physiotherapy, could be pain management. Hopefully someone will tell me what I'm getting.

I've spent the last 3 years trying to get a new database off the ground because I keep being told the system where the current one is is being decommissioned. Found out today it isn't 😭

Booked 2 nights at Laughterama in London in July/August and both nights the pick best available seat option came through with front row tickets again! Never fails!

I think my office has the cleanest plants of any office in the UK. Also, how does one get a job as a plant polisher 🤔

When someone recognises you across the office based only on the top your head it might be time to consider a new hairdo 😖
