Showing vulnerability is NOT easy! Not everyone can do it, so you've got one up on many people already.

I have to get dressed and go to the shops. If anyone even looks at me I will do violence.

Going to see my GP in a few weeks and I have a list of HRT questions and demands. I'm miserable. And I'm making everyone around me miserable.
We need a kill switch for our innards!

Things keep popping into my head and I think I must make a note of that, I need to remember that.
But then it's gone.
Like when you wake up from a dream, it's there for a split second, then gone. No matter how hard you try to remember.
It's infuriating!
How many good ideas have disappeared?!

Rewatching The Sixth Sense.
Bruce Willis was so good in that film.

I think the writers went out on the piss one night and just said fuck it.

How dare you! Brussel sprouts are delicious. They just have bad PR.

No matter how many times I check before I switch on the dishwasher I will ALWAYS find a random cup or spoon that I missed. Every time.
Same with the washing machine. Random sock now missing the second sock.

Someone needs to explain to all these job sites that hybrid is NOT the same as remote.

I've tried every morning for the last few weeks. Nothing. Queries in my account are being ignored. Oh my god it's so frustrating ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Fantastic. Hopefully they work out. It's so annoying when you know exactly what you want but can't find it anywhere.

They have public offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick. No use to me. You can make an appointment for a Teams call, which would be great if you didn't have to PHONE to make the appointment. And they don't answer the phone.

Round and round we go.

I was thinking, what about men's pyjama tops? I got cotton pyjamas for Ste when he was in hospital (high fever, sweating buckets) and he said they were really comfortable. Got them in Dunnes Stores here.

If Revenue won't answer the phone, respond to queries via the online "my account", and don't use email, how exactly am I supposed to contact them? They'd be quick enough chasing me down if I owed them money.

The frustration ๐Ÿคฌ
