I'm working Saturday, but will be about intermittently apart from then! :-) on a side note I had a tiny homemade cake today, definitely a good way to end the week

Relatively productive day so far. Uni work on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems done, haircut booked, training for Uni job done, walked the dog. Not too shabby :)

But then who's been leaving all these owl feathers about?

He usually gets two. This is the shorter one. And technically he had the dog walker today so he's had a very decent walk. He's just habitually used to two! #MadSkyChat

We're both pretty knackered and the dog is sitting so nicely next to me on the sofa currently! #MadSkyChat

Oh oh oh I nearly forgot! But I am here! Hurrah! I'm knackered, and currently having a 'tiredoff' competition with husband to see who has to take the dog on his final walk for the evening

So got through the day and am having a cheeky takeaway for dinner as we have nothing in. #3GoodThings

1. met potential new dog sitters, and it seemed to go well; Kirby was being his charming self
2. Managed to have enough spoons to do a load of washing this evening
3. Interesting morning lecture

Got through the day, and it wasn't too bad.

#3GoodThings

1. I managed to cook the last hello fresh, yummy spicy rice and chicken

2. Both lecturers turned up today despite the strike happening

3. Littlest is feeling better and back to her bouncy self

Two weeks is doable :) Do you have much time off then, or anything nice planned for it? I'm counting down until the Easter Holidays currently! (although I'll still have an essay to do then 😭).

There's a very pretty pigeon cross body bag that I desperately want to buy, but I can't really justify the expense! Love a pigeon

Survived the uni session on suicide. Was delivered by a lecturer who isn't that enigmatic and managed to drain the feeling out of it. I suppose that was better than it being triggering.

Now back to the Neepad to sort out what proficiencies I can sign off on this week.

Hello! *waves* I'm fairly well (and training to be a mental health nurse), so not sure if I fit in the mad community either anymore, but I quite like Bluesky. I've quite twitter for various evil reasons, so enjoy the safety here. You're always welcome, and never an imposter :)

Can you not be depressed if you have ADHD? I've never heard that before!

That reflexive 'sorry' you can't stop saying was never about politeness — it was a survival strategy you learned before you had the language to name what was happening in your home.

Pip forms are evil. As are people who go out of their way to be cruel :( Sending gentle hugs, I hope today brings a better day

So session on Monday at university is on suicide. I've just done the pre work and now feel like crud for what I've put my family (and mostly Tom) through in the past. Excuse me whilst I beat myself up
