This has been me for the last two days. Lots of sleeping and cat cuddles.

As Valentine’s Day is nearly here. As someone who loves love this gets me in the feels. I’m reminded last year I spent it with someone who said they loved me but couldn’t even be bothered to get me a card. Or even mark the day at all. At least this year I don’t have to put up with that bullshit.

So the lurgy has got me. What I thought was Flu has turned out to be laryngitis. So now have antibiotics and signed off work for another 10 days after completely losing my voice. This is not the start to the year I wanted folks.

I was lucky. She was wonderful and exactly what I needed at the time.

Urgh today was the dreaded back to school. That 6:15 alarm hit hard.

I think it depends on the circumstances. My experience was very positive. It was at a time when I really needed it to help me process what was going on in my life. I found it hugely helpful. Without it I don’t think I’d coped tbh. My therapist was great though.

Thank you. There have been so many fabulous people. And honestly they’ve helped me more than they could possibly know.

It’s no secret that 2024 was a shitshow. Frankly, I’m glad to see the back of it. I’m choosing to focus on the amazing love and support I’ve found from the wonderful people I now have in my life. They’ve made such a difference to me and I’ll be forever grateful.

Actually went out this evening. It was lovely to catch up with the family this evening. They’re not local, so it’s always nice when they visit.

So Christmas was a bit different this year. But thanks to friends up and down the country, it was just a little nicer than it had the potential to be. So thank you. Thank you to so many of you, near and far. Your kindness means more than you’ll ever know.

Last minute Christmas shopping for the boy went really well yesterday… I got a pair of trousers and two tops.

I’m tired and grumpy most mornings tbh. Mornings are not my friend. Hope your day gets better.

It’s not about waking up in the middle of the night, dreaming about pizza. I’m starting to think I might have a problem.

For me, this. I played it sooo much and honestly still do.

This afternoon my laptop decided just it didn’t want to work anymore. I mean, we all feel like that but that’s not the deal. That means I have the joys of the tech team tomorrow 😫

In many ways it feels like a life time ago, not 5 months. Which is a good thing.

I don’t know where to start tbh. This year has been a lot. But there’s sooo much from it I’m proud of. I’ll go with, that I’m actually alive.

Spotify coming up with the goods the other afternoon. System of a Down to Journey and everything in between.

I think I’ll have to get some help, when the time comes.

Thanks. It’s almost worth the sling and the hospital visits 🙈

Oh Bristol you weird city. Where else would you see a cardboard cut out of David Attenborough wearing tinsel for Christmas?

So the tree was a disaster. I broke the base. Had to replace it with the massive tree and damaged my elbow in the process. I’m been referred to the fracture clinic tomorrow. But doesn’t the new tree look pretty…
