@Mrfunkedude I'm sorry, I'll cut back on the mushroom Wellington, though the gravy and spuds were good...

Dammit.

I turn 55 on the 20th.

Why does this keep happening?

DamonHD,
@DamonHD@mastodon.social avatar

@Mrfunkedude How often have you been 55 before? I only did it once, for lolz...

Been out in the heavy rain to mail our postal ballots for the police and crime commissioner election. We haven’t had a single thing from any of the candidates, but I found a document online with statements from all the candidates. The Tory seemed to be saying that he’d be a good PCC because he was a top manager in the brewing and distilling industry. The Labour candidate was all “tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime” 🥱 I voted for the current commissioner, a Plaid Cymru candidate, as he was the only one who actually stated what he intended to do. All a bit rubbish

@purplepadma I posted in my votes for London Mayor et al a week or so ago. I feel more relaxed not having to pay attention to last-minute leaflets etc. And our old voting place has been demolished, so I don't have to work out where to go!

Yesterday: I will never feel OK again, the only way out of this hell is sleep (or death)

Today: I think the world is great! People are generally lovely! I am very happy to be here!

Just cried to my psychiatrist for 1/2 an hour. He says that he thinks there is something more than just bipolar going on for me to be having such significant mood shifts within a day. IDK, it’s happened before. He was concerned by how much I have deteriorated since we last spoke.

I told him that living on this rollercoaster is untenable, and that although I don’t have any active plans to end my life, I feel that I can’t be expected to live like this. I’m in a hopeless place right now. He agrees I need more support and is going to raise my case in the community MH team’s multidisciplinary team meeting and with psychological therapies. I told him I really miss having a CPN/therapist to check in with/offload to. He doesn’t want to tweak my meds but will get me some more diazepam. He was sorry to hear my condition, I’m usually so stable when we speak.

@purplepadma bewildering and exhausting...

So now I have emptied the fridge as much as possible and got rid of lots of murky jars that have been hiding at the back for months, if not years. Plenty for the glass recycling this week. Trying to chill now, but what to do with myself??

Had a long ass chat with my gramma last nite. She said ' Jaden you will never find happiness because all you do is plan for the next thing, always looking for something new and better. Just sit back and enjoy what you got'.
Think she may have a point??????
What yall think 🤔

DamonHD,
@DamonHD@mastodon.social avatar

@Jaden3 you need to enjoy what is in front of you AND set some goals to achieve, IMHO! That's why I'm back studying at uni after a few start-ups, though I could just about retire. Oh, and I seem to have accepted a part time job, and I am running some community stuff!

I think it is fair to say that no individual on the planet has a complete understanding of how a modern CPU works. Isn't that ridiculous? These tiny silicon brains control our lives, but no one know how they work.

@Edent The same could be said of any single one of the E coli and other teeming bacteria in your gut or indeed any one of your own cells still with its nucleus intact. Man is not the measure of all things...

Just had this message from a friend and I am raging! “Think my running journey is over... Didn't make it2 10k as ran past a man who whistled at me & then stuck his foot out. Couldn't dodge it fast enough so went flying. Not sure I'll have the confidence to go out again
Being a woman feels really hard sometimes... 😔😔” Picture of cut lips and hand.

I have been cat called so many times running, and once a young man slapped my bum from behind and tried to pull me into the bushes, but I think this is worse. Why the fuck is women feeling powerful through running something men feel compelled to try and take away?

Do not “not all men” me

@purplepadma @helenclayton What utterly outrageous behaviour. Definitely assault, but possibly into 'hate crime' / protected characteristics territory too.

Mood has lifted a few percentage points after having my hair done. Can’t decide whether to try to work this afternoon or just do self care stuff. The only thing that feels appealing is taking myself off to a cafe for some ice cream, so maybe that’s what I’ll do

What playing football taught me about hacking – Part 1

This is a two-part blog post about rewriting the rules.

I hated playing sports as a teenager quelle surprise. In a vain attempt to get me to love the beautiful game, a PE teacher once made me team captain for a kickabout. My rival? Sporty Dave. Head boy, house captain, and conqueror of puberty.

@Edent Very good - the 'leadership' thing that I never really manage to pull off. (Except occasionally by delegating!)
