My coach has told me I need to sleep more and like ???? I would love to but my body wakes me up at 6am and doesn’t get tired til 11pm so 🫠

Ok, I’m gonna be using this account a bit more to track coaching stuff and my coaches penchant for cocopops!

Oh, David Walliams is awful? Weird.

Anyway, water is also wet and the sky is blue!

What did you think of the play??

Cost of living crisis is really hitting us in weird places

Omg my sister got the school photos for my nephews and I’m dying. Why does one of them look like a child mad emperor?? What happened???

Finally cracked dependent dropdowns on excel and you know what, a win is a win.

A friend shared a Miguel/Tulio/Milo polyam edit from Tiktok and yes, thank you, I need it immediately.

So now my brain is brewing an explorers x cartographer queer polyam romance 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I would absolutely not recommend trying to coordinate care for an unwell parent whilst living in a different country.

3/10, amusing to listen to my sister eviscerate doctors for failing in their duty of care.

The trailer for S2 of TLoU is just out and I’m so excited for it but its also tinged with sadness because someone who very much wanted to see it isn’t here anymore and I can’t send it to him or tell him about it…

Maybe I’ll tell the stars instead and they can pass the message on.

I’ve been forcibly “upgraded” to Windows 11 at work and now I have to go, cap in hand, to our IT department to beg them to install calculator and snipping tool for me.

Genuinely gutted! She was so young!

I’ve had a stinking cold since the weekend and I’ve been coughing so much that my chest now hurts 😩

Why do streaming services try to emotionally blackmail you when you cancel??

Pete Buttigieg is here and now I feel like there’s finally an adult in the room 😭

And, for me, it helped distill my original WIP into it’s base reasoning.

It’s about regret, and grief. And also about letting it go.

So, yeah! Maybe I’ll get to talk about it one day.

And not like, in an elevator pitch way. Like, deep at the heart of it, what is your book about?

For the author, her last book was about grief and loneliness. Her new book is about hunger and appetite.

The interviewer’s last work was about intention.

So I went to a book event last night, Author in conversation with… type thing and, as always, it was fascinating but one of the question lead me to a revelation about my own original work.

The question was “What is your book about?”

So I’m dealing with food sensitivities at the moment and have narrowed down the fruit I can eat to bananas 🙃

Downside is that I’m allergic to latex and guess what’s a cross-allergen? Banana skin!!

Fml.

Guy at the bar starts smoking in front of me, I start aggressively coughing and wheezing.

I’m not making a point, I am just asthmatic.

Welp I have a book emergency re: an event happening TONIGHT so I’m gonna have to suck it up and call customer services 😬

Sent in a ticket querying something about a book pre-order in light of an event I’m attending on Friday.

Now we wait 🤞🏻🤞🏻

So a book I pre-ordered has had its publication day brought forward a week, hooray!

Downside is that I am going to an event with the author on Friday and would love to have the book with me to have signed buuut I have no idea when it will be delivered. 🙃

/looks around/

I mean, go for it.

I maintain that Cousin Isobel should’ve ended up with Dr Clarkson in Downton Abbey.

He was very cute! Proper cabbage patch baby.

Visiting the bestie today, who has a 3 month old I’ve not met before. He’s a wriggler!

My car cost me a lot last year after it’s MOT due to needing a new suspension, brake pads, tyres, and I was praying that this year it would be fine but no 🫠
