Still astounded by my dehumidifier. You're telling me this little guy takes water from the air and turns it into water water? Invisible water into wet water that I can use for my plants? I feel like some sort of god in charge of the water cycle in my very small domain.

To nobody's surprise, I've noticed a clear gender division during my driving lessons where men are far more likely to be all up in my space and overtake me. Shocked. More at 3.

Driving lessons are exhausting. I am so tired and overwhelmed.

I could have a king-sized bed and I swear my tiny, 3kg on a good day, cat would still sit right in the middle and take up most of the available space.

Rachel and my brother both sent me over some money so I'm good, thank you lovely!!! Just. AAAAARGH.

I'd always suggest going into Glasgow if you want to feel something lol

Now I have to top up my meter and I have £4 in the bank account. Kill me.
At least I've got milk for dinner and a Tesco gift card somewhere 🫠

I add every payment date into my calendar and meticulously manage everything so it lasts long enough. I thought I was getting paid today so I had the AUDACITY to go to the pub with friends last night and get two!!! cans of diet coke!!! because I thought I was being paid today.
Nope!

It's hard to manage what little money I do have without UC fucking me over by randomly changing my payment dates. I had it in my calendar that I was to get paid today, nothing happened, I checked the website and it said the 12th. Sunday. The 12th. Since WHEN do we do benefit payments ON SUNDAY

Yes :( especially starlings. I remember growing up there were always some in the garden, now I very rarely see them in the city

Troutman @robotrowboat Boss: Let's put this matter aside for the time being Me: [looking around nervously] Can only you see the time being? Boss: Huh? Me: Is it standing near me? Boss: Who? Me: [on verge of panic attack] The time being 6:33 PM 06 Jan 18

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

Anyway HASHTAG NOT AN AD but as summer comes up I know everyone is looking for SPF that isn't a textural nightmare, this is the best I've found theordinary.com/en-gb/uv-fil...
It doesn't break me out AND I don't look or feel like I've done a 12 hour shift at the chippy

This post brought to you by me losing my favourite SPF (The Ordinary SPF serum fwiw) and having to use something heavier, greasier, and FRAGRANCED

I don't understand why so many skincare products use fragrance. Like it makes your product pretty much unusable for the sensitive/rosacea prone skin community and FOR WHAT? So you can have a nice smell for like 5 minutes? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH.

It's already a 50/50 shot whether a sunscreen will break me out without FRAGRANCES. I don't need my skincare products fragranced SORRY NOT SORRY.

Stop! Putting! Fragrances! In! Sunscreen!!!!!!!

I hope everyone* has had a lovely day and sleeps well tonight

*Except the guy eating a doner kebab on the bus home. Not you.

I've now went on a deep dive about several disasters in nuclear power plants and I love that the takeaway message is mostly "bosses bad".

THROW THEM IN THE REACTOR CORE.

They still won't refer me to OT though, as there's no OT service for "my needs" (related to autism and severe ADHD mostly) but they *do* in fact have OTs that would be able to help me and meet my needs, I just don't qualify because I have the Wrong Diagnosis

I only go two or three times a year for my ADHD meds to be reviewed. They ask about my mood, look through my notes, and say that I seem to be doing better and that therapy and ADHD meds are clearly working for me.

Both things I had to go private for ❤️

I find it very funny that the same mental health team that refused to refer me for therapy for unspecified and mostly BS "reasons" now comments on how much better I'm doing now that I'm in therapy that I'm paying for privately 🥰

Reducing my risk of stroke by only eating raw, unprocessed foods. First off, kidney beans and chicken because stroke can't get to me if I have salmonella and phytohaemagglutinin poisoning.

Photo from a viewpoint overlooking hills. There is a narrow, curving road going through the hills, and there are pockets of forests and wildflowers.

Photo of a memorial stone reading "Rest and Be Thankful - Old Military Road". The stone is rugged and aged. There are trees and hills visible in the background.

Imagine driving through this and not being able to take your eyes off the road.

The Rest and Be Thankful is probably one of the most beautiful areas of the country IMO, and despite driving through it most years for the last two decades, my mum didn't actually get to appreciate it until a few years ago where we stopped at the viewpoint and had a walk bc I was travel sick LMAO

Whereas on a bus you can just stare out the window in the rain and be melancholic and deep about it.
Nothing beats being a passenger in the Highlands when it's grey and atmospheric and moody.

The other reason I want to drive is so I can access all the lovely hills, go camping, and enjoy my very nice country. But you don't even get to enjoy the very nice country when you're driving because you have to focus on the road.

I got really into reading about the Manhattan Project too lmao. Did you know that Kodak discovered the test before it was officially announced because of artefacts on their film that was produced almost 2500 miles away?
SCARY STUFF

Learning to drive because every single job is like "must have a driver's license and access to a vehicle" like what if... Access to BUS? Bus that was frequent and well funded and reliable?

I wish we had functional public transport and could leave all the driving to those freaks who actually enjoy it.

I don't know why I'm so tired, but I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with me watching Chernobyl and then staying awake till almost 4am reading about radiation sickness and disasters
