Do you need a TV licence for non live TV? Like iplayer? 🤔

How did you find the CPAP? It takes a little getting used to, but I've found it very helpful :-)

I would thoroughly recommend the actual show if you're intrigued!

I've been off blue sky a little bit. Didn't realise you were in hospital. Sorry to hear you're struggling. Hope the new meds make some difference. Here if you ever need fluffy animal photos!

They've massively reduced who gets the COVID booster- I used to get it, but not anymore!

That's ridiculous! My husband took my keys away last time I was under the crisis team, but the team didn't tell dvla!

I managed to get up and showered! I really couldn't leave the house like I was, sweaty, greasy smelly mess!

So it's been a while #3GoodThings 1. Kirby enjoyed taking part in the university's dog experiment, he's not a science dog! 2. Made it to the gym even though I was feeling tired 3. Cooked dinner for everyone

I went to the gym tonight (yay), but now I need to wash myself and my hair and I just don't have the spoons. Will I wake early enough tomorrow to wash before shul?

It's been a difficult week or so. So time for #3GoodThings 1. Did an escape room, we broke the month's record! 2. Friends visiting, which is lovely 3. Girls are having a lovely time in Cornwall

Good luck! First time I replied for old style DLA it went to tribunal. I found them very polite and reasonable. They listened to me and believed what I was saying. I wish the same for you!

It's tiring being a doggo (even if you do have a socky ball to play with)

Options for this evening- 1. Gym (but I'm still exhausted and sore from Monday) 2. Walk dog 3. Cook lasagne 4. Watch film with family 5. Finish tidying ahead of visitors I cannot do all these things, but I have to do some and should do others. I don't have the brain cells to decide right now

Spoke to duty. Despite calling back hours after I called (I know they're busy, Tom unbeknownst to me had also called),she had no idea who I was, hadn't looked at my file, no idea of my diagnosis. She came across cold and condensing. It's really hard to ask for help, I just, I don't know anymore

I'm so mentally and physically drained. No reason. I'm just a useless mess

I hate Tom referring to himself as my primary carer whenever I get a bit shit. It's like I'm some horrible wrench on my family and society that I need looking after. I feel shit enough.

Pottery painting day- will see how it turns out next week 😬

Feeling a bit low. Doing things wrong and getting easily overwhelmed. It's like I can feel it creeping back in again. And there's no particular reason, and I can't just keep being like this.

Cally @gianthamster.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
Thanks- just about managed it. I should probably put pyjamas on, rather than lie in towels. Will the tasks never end!!

Really need to shower and wash hair. I'm so tired. Any spare spoons I can use?

Cally @gianthamster.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
I'm leaving in 45 minutes for the gym. I know I need to get back into the swing of things, but I've slept terribly the last two nights and I'm so so tired.

What do you mean you've run out of treats for me?! Crimes! Crimes against kitties!

Slightly scared, and annoyed the power meds have over me. I missed one day and I'm an absolute mess. Why can't I just be a functioning grown up like everyone else?

Was back so late after the wedding, and so exhausted that I missed my needs. It was too late to take them this morning. So been feeling like tired death all day. Venlafaxine withdrawal is rubbish, role on 8pm when I can feasibly take the next lot

I was about for a wedding rehersal for a wedding in attending on Saturday. I feel here would have been more fun!

Well done! Thoroughly relax.. Perhaps read a non fiction book?

Got back from holiday on Monday, been a bit of a blur since then. #3GoodThings 1. Made it to the gym session even though my normal time was cancelled. 2. Showered and washed hair (it was overdue). 3. Caught up on sewing bee! 🧵 🪡

In fairness that does sound a very nice pizza. Worth the pain?

I'm here in time! (Just). I'm enjoying the breeze of the north east! Not looking forward to the heat of London tomorrow for our holiday! #MadSkyChat

I'm in a lot of pain tonight. But on the bright side I'm seeing the specialist physio team tomorrow. Hopefully they'll have some words of wisdom. #3GoodThings 1. Lasagne I made went down well with family 2. Made it to the gym for a class 3. Started packing for holiday!

Mild panic after the dog sitter cancelled on us. Luckily a friend will have the fluffy beast. #3GoodThings 1. Kirby met a new friend called Fred who he's going to stay with while we're away. 2. Chores got done 3. I have showered and shaved Squeaky clean!

I can sympathise- we used the launderette as we had no washer. I still forget all the time that I'm supposed to clean it!
