Hot chocolate in a squirrel mug, in my hand. You can see my red Dr Martens, and red flower design on my black dress. Blurred spring flowers and greenery in my back yard in the background

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've had the email containing the new Water bill on my laptop for two weeks now, I just can't bring myself to look at it...

The danger to people that this woman has caused is immeasurable.

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.

Long columns of light grey basalt rock, reaching to the ceiling and becoming the uneven ceiling of a cave. Green sea water runs through the cave.

Basalt columns in Fingal's Cave on Staffa Island in Scotland. Gorgeous! #SundayPixStone

I didn't know that either. Sadly, not surprised. But this whole thing is corrupt in every way.

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!

You're completely right, though. They're just throwing their weight around now, doing anything they're provoked to do by people with agendas. The Christian right, are terrifying.

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?

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 🤣

White woman with white hair and black glasses wearing a black leather jacket and a black gothic pendant, with a white man with grey hair and black sunglasses wearing a khaki jacket, pose for a selfie in front of Cardiff Castle. Bright blue sky with overhanging beaches of a budding magnolia Diversity dance group on stage with the word SOUL in bright white lights. Lots of lights, red tinted photo, and audience. Diversity's Ashley Banjo after launching a fellow dance band member high in the air. The man hangs mid flip high on the stage as the photo is taken. Other dancers are on stage in various poses. Water rains down from sprinklers.

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!

Where's this woman's sense of self? And I mean sense of awareness, self-awareness. She's got lots of sense of self, as in ambition, selfishness etc.

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!

I was diagnosed with autism at age 50, a year after my oldest child did. They were missed when they were younger, and just told they were hormonal. Ugh.
