Have you ever knowingly conversed in an informal manner with a murderer?

@bhalpin They may have killed people… but legally not murderers

Good morning, I slept for 11.5 hours all together, with a half hour of wakefulness around 4am. Hopefully this will help to reset my sleep a bit so I’m less nocturnal. Hairdresser and coffee with a friend today, an anti-procrastination session online later, pretty low key. You?

Love the environment and all that but I am WAY too dyspraxic to deal with those new tiny, attached bottle lids that you get on plastic bottles these days and just fucking can't put them back on again tight enough to not fucking spill everywhere

@rgarner @stavvers I just pull the lid hard until the plastic tether snaps and the lid comes free

Is there anything more cringe than Labour and the Tories trying to win over The Youf with TikTok campaigns?

@TheBreadmonkey They are certainly a bunch of plankers

Not feeling great this evening. Low/anxious. Thinking of taking some sleep meds in an attempt to get to sleep earlier than 2am. Maybe improved sleep would lead to improved mood…?

@isotope239 It’s definitely worth a go. I can take one or two tablets, I’ve just taken one to see how it affects me

@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@Beedazzled I took half a dose of sleeping meds, fingers crossed it helps

Cat is apparently in a coma. Vets have only given her minimal care because fees. This would not happen at our own vets who are all cat lovers. Stuart has made his position clear now that if she has a chance she must be given it as, feral cat or not, we have taken responsibility for her and owe her that. She is too ill to be moved the 30 odd miles to our vets

Well that coaching taster was great and I am very excited to working with this person. The aim is to help me get my life/career mojo back as I have completely lost my zest and feel very rudderless. That recent bipolar episode did me some psychological/confidence damage

@barnetboy I understand!

@littlemiao Thank you LM. How are the kitties?

Tom joined me for a walk in the drizzle and I am a bit perkier, plus we saw two adorable chihuahuas being pushed in a buggy 🥰 Now for my coaching taster

I promised myself I wouldn’t nap in the day but I was so tired that my head felt like it was full of wool and my eyes were throbbing, so nap I did. My head is clearer but my mood is less buoyant since I woke. I need to get ready for my productivity coaching session at 3pm

One of our 3 missing cats has turned up at a vets at least 20 mile away in very poor condition. 😪 this is Van Dyke, the first kitten who was born in our polytunnel this time last year. She disappeared about 6 weeks ago on the same night as her brother Moustache while their mother disappeared several weeks before. I strongly suspect someone has done this to them. 😡 He is not well enough to collect😪

My son and I made this “terrarium” out of an old jam jar and been keeping woodlice in there. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination but it seems the more woodlice my son puts in there the “happier” they seem to be. Do they have a preference for pseudo social aggregate life style? Like they have pheromones or something?

purplepadma,
@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@drmambobob I’ve always been very fond of woodlice and struggle to understand why some people are grossed out by them. When I was a child I used to make little houses in the garden out of mud and sticks and was always delighted when woodlice took up residence in them

purplepadma,
@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@drmambobob That’s exactly the sort of thing I would’ve loved as a kid

@JeniParsons I might go out for a walk in the rain and see if it perks me up. A run of insomnia is leaving me shattered during the day

I just made a phone call.
It was regarding something relatively straightforward and simple to sort out and I was on the phone for 37 minutes. Most of that was on hold.

As soon as it ended I burst into tears.
I am exhausted. My neck and back are agony from the tension. I’ve got a headache and I feel sick.
It took about 30 minutes to stop shaking.

I wrote my speech but they interrupted, trying to get me to do security questions first.

But I did it… yay?

purplepadma,
@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@Troggie yes yay! Well done!

@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@peterainbow @Troggie So sorry to hear this!
