It sucks. Why are our brains so mean to us?

Thank you. Today was actually fine, so I feel a bit better about it all now.

Thank you V. X
The day was actually quite good in spite of the fear of it.

Thank you. 😘

Thanks Jen. I do hope I do!

Currently at the gym trying to drag myself through leg day. Not feeling it at all. Sleep deprived and really needing the 4 days off I have from Saturday. Two more days to survive.

I’m feeling full of anxiety today. Unsure of myself. Imposter syndrome. Not helped by my evening shift yesterday which always fucks my brain up and a lack of sleep and absolute exhaustion.

I found a new beautiful park today, full of deer, including a spectacular white stag. It was glorious.

Much needed day off today. I haven’t been able to go to the gym for the last 3 days, so I’m eager to get back today. Might also treat myself to a nap. Probably take a walk too.

Oh man! I’m starting to take it as a personal attack that one is considered “geriatric” at 65. That seems far too close for comfort now, even though I’m not 50 yet.

They’re like “Look at all these long socks in bright colours. You can cosplay as a schoolgirl because we know you Gen Xers never shut up about how young you look. BTW, they also reduce your risk of DVT from your HRT, you old fart”

Are support stockings becoming trendy, or am I just getting targeted adverts because of my age?

Oh, wouldn’t that be amazing?

The endless grind of finding something for dinner every day!

We’re having pizza for dinner tonight. I couldn’t be arsed to cook anything proper. I’m so tired from working this weekend. I haven’t been to the gym all weekend and can’t go tomorrow and it’s making me grumpy. Roll on Tuesday for a day off.

Yesterday I was the only grown up in the home and that was scary. I hate the responsibility. It stresses me out.

Been working this weekend. Yesterday was a nightmare of an 11.5 hour shift. Today has been better and shorter and I only have an hour and 15 minutes left. I honestly can’t wait to get it over with.

Thanks. Me too. I get my tax rebate next week. Looks like I know where that’s going. 🙄

Bollocks! It failed. Now I have to take it to get it fixed and then pay again to get it tested. This is going to be expensive. Fucking old piece of shit car with its stupid bad brakes.

Day off today and I’ve just dropped the car off for its 2 yearly road safety test. Really hope it passes. It’s a shitty old car, but I’m pretty sure it’s roadworthy.

There were too many people at work today, so I got sent home early. So I have a bonus couple of hours. I’m so tired and could use a nap, but it’s sunny and I also fancy a walk. Fuck it! I’m going out.

I also enjoy a saveloy. There is a time and place for many types of sausage, but I do prefer a good quality Cumberland sausage.

Never heard of VW sausages!

Morning all. It’s a beautiful one. Happy Monday!

Exactly. I’ve always tried to be so approachable and open to talk, but he never shares details with me. Boys 🙄

Oh, I hope so. He’s not one to make a rash decision though.

It really is. I’ve told him I’m here if he needs me, but I suspect he’ll turn to his friends rather than his mum. He’s never been one for sharing much with me.

Exactly. I bloody loved this one. She was gorgeous and outgoing and sociable and encouraged him to be all those things too. I don’t know what’s happened. He said they want different things, but didn’t expand on it.

Oh man! My son has broken up with his absolutely brilliant girlfriend. My heart is broken for him. She was so good for him and he adored her. I don’t know the details, but I feel totally bummed and worried for him. He has been lit up since he’s been with her. I hope it’s as mutual as he says it is.

Here in Denmark, sausages are mainly hot dog style and often bright red. Not my kind of thing at all. I want sausages with herbs and some girth to them 😂

I have free health care, so that’s all good. Excellent health care too. And free education.

Yeah, they’re up there for me too. Along with Marmite, Branston pickle and sausages.
