Morning! I’m having so much trouble getting to sleep since I changed my med timings. I was up until 1am again last night, even a sleep meditation didn’t do the trick. Still I had nothing particular to get up for, so I slept until 9am. Social worker coming round this afternoon, I can tell her that I’m much improved and probably don’t need her anymore - but! I want to ensure I can get timely support if things go bad again! What’s on your agenda?

Couple of photos of Asher, from earlier.

I'm having problems falling asleep & put some melatonin drops into chamomile tea to try to ease body into sleep. I was up later than usual because Mom's been having some more high blood pressure related medical issues recently.

This is a bit of a first world problem I know, but let me whinge. I used the last of my preferred type of dental floss this morning, and I when I went to order some more a little while ago, I found out that it has changed and is quite different. So now I have to look for new dental floss, and I'm not looking forward to this, as there's so many types of floss that make my teeth feel weird in different ways.

It's so gloomy I'm going to have to turn on the office light soon.

This French news story of an armed gang violently freeing a prisoner at a motorway tollbooth is like something out of a film

One thing that is amazing to me is how professional musicians have completely fucked up fingers. You would never think that millionaire musicians would allow this to happen but here we are. Also NBA players all have completely disgusting feet because they got stomped on by 300 lbs constantly

From yesterday’s walk the biggest moth EVER! Ok the biggest moth in Europe maybe…the giant peacock moth. Difficult to get a clear photo without disturbing it - hand in one photo for scale!

The same moth but side-on and partially obscured by grass. One of its long feathery antennae is revealed.
Photo of the same moth with a hand behind it for scale. Its wingspan must be about 15-20 centimetres.

I was soooo tempted to nap earlier but I just about managed not to. I think it was a reaction to some hardcore peopling as I got plenty of sleep last night. Now tucked up in bed listening to the BBC Radio 2 Jazz Show

I saw Nigella Lawson was recommending a new cookbook called Greekish and I took a peek at the contents and decided to order it. Just thoroughly enjoyed a baked dish of pasta, spinach and chicken flavoured with lemon, mint, oregano and grated halloumi. Will deffo make again #food

I have spent this week declining work requests that are unreasonable in scope or that make me uncomfortable and I would like a goddamn medal.

I love that social media allows us to develop connections with people across town and across the world as if they were next door.

This can also be kind of sad when real friendships are made with people that we will have little chance of ever meeting in person.

Connections nonetheless 😌

Alright, I'm not normally a person who talks about my dreams, but I usually have cinematic dreams and this one didn't have an ending, and I need your creativity.

I dreamed I was working at a Mental Health Institution. We were having some kind of government inspection, it seemed really off, they were paying special attention to certain patients. I inadvertently found out that they were from some shadowy organization, and they believed that certain people who had schizophrenia and delusions were actually seeing into alternate realities, and they were planning on taking them for training of some kind. It surprised me so much, that it actually woke me up, and I couldn't finish the dream. What would they use this for and why? Help me finish this in my brain!

Afternoon! Been too busy to tweet meeting up with my auntie, uncle and cousin who are in west Wales on holiday. Not seen them in person for over a decade! Tired from peopling now. How’s everyone’s day going? The sun has just come out here

I’ve just spent two hours on admin tasks I haven’t had the strength to do in the past weeks, everything from enquiring who to send my sick note to some financial stuff to trying to get a sitter for Miss Cinnamon when we go away in July. Very tired now! But pleased with what I’ve achieved

Lazy New Year's Day = first book read of 2024!

I've been looking forward to this one and wasn't disappointed. It wasn't quite a five star read, but a solid four star bath read. Uplifting story, lovely characters, and of course, a fantastically snarky octopus who is the best part of the whole book; I loved him.

If only we all had smart, snarky octopi to solve our problems.
