Obsessing about buying clothes again even though I never go out and don't know what clothes I already own. Banning myself from clothes purchases until I've built my wardrobe.

It disgusts me, which is surprising because not a lot does. Glad I'm in the majority on this judging by the comments.

I've never been a religious person, but this is a crime against all that is sacred. We need to bring back punishing heresy for these people.

No. This year I'm prepared. I've already started setting up my defenses (food shopping) 😂

Ah, mid-November, when Christmas is still far enough away to be mistaken for a gaily-dressed friend waving at you in the distance, just before you realise it’s a psychopath in a clown suit wielding a chainsaw and running towards you at high speed.

Good point. I've always hated phone calls because I have fear of uncertainty, and there are a lot of people I don't like talking to I suppose 😂

Same. It's the interruption. Have to drop everything for a chat. Not many people have time for that these days. Which is sad I suppose.

Made friends with an older person who calls instead of sending a text messages. Very out of my comfort zone. It's like living in the 90s.

Vinted are bringing US users into contact with UK users 🙄 further enshittification of yet another platform

Like when they put radium in everything. Don't ask any questions. Just buy it.

My head is fizzing like popping candy.

Daughters friends coming over tomorrow and the place looks like a bomb site. Too tired to sort it. Got invoicing and other bits to do tomorrow but cleaning will be a full days work. Did manage to get food shopping and take rabbit to vets though. So that's a success, right?

2 hours sleep. Have to spend the whole day on chores and admin rushing around like a maniac. If I had a job I'd have to call in sick. Stress stress stress.

Reasons why becoming a parent ruins horror movies.

1) waking up to someone standing over your bed in the middle of the night - normal

2) people appearing out of nowhere - normal

3) a constant feeling of being watched - normal

4) blood / puke / unknown gross substance everywhere - normal

Almost had a breakdown thinking one of the rabbits had diarrhea. On close inspection it's actually soft cecotropes because of the excessive pellets 🙈. Pellets being confiscated, no treats, and bum wipes until it's resolved.

Seeing lots of nice things that'd make nice presents for me and remembering a time when people knew me well enough and were in a position to buy me nice gifts. A long long time ago now.

I've set out a space for books which is one side of the chimney breast, floor to ceiling. I cannot overfill this space because it's a small house. So looks like I'm gonna have to slightly downsize my personal library 😭 need to lose about 1metre of books.

I dust my house. My AI Robot watches.

"It should be you doing this."

"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."

"That's not why you were invented."

"These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise."

"They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them."

"Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

Everyone saying this is impossible but we're already 60% self sufficient. Not a huge leap.

Functioning purely by the power of lists atm. Christmas prep is entering my brain and causing confusion.

Absolutely hate being the better person. Was raised to be vindictive because pleasantness was seen as weakness in my family. But obviously none of that is true and I'm doing good work despite feeling like a shriveled prune inside.

Ok I've seen the edited trump clip and... Wow. Glad I don't pay for that misinformation. Went off their news a while ago but if I hadn't I'd definitely be off it now.

Funny to see all my size 12 clothes listed as size 20 this morning. Had to go through and swiftly delete or edit them.

Never been a fan of Nicolas Cage but seen two films recently where he plays the most odd, awkward, unappealing and REAL characters. He acts like real people. It's funny, and great, so guess I am a fan now. (Dream Scenario and Colour out of space)

Horrendous parenting day today. Freezing cold. Want to go to sleep but too many commitments. Huddled up next to the radiator until my mood improves.

The Tesla shareholders financing a fascist. Usual suspects.
