Hello Bluesky folks.
I’m having a relatively ok morning which is different.
Got a counselling session booked in for tomorrow so will probably be the opposite tomorrow though.
Not going to talk details here because potentially (VERY)triggering.
But look after your mental health please folks.

I’ve pretty much been ignoring all social media for the last month after contracting the latest version of the flu in December which totally did me in.

Things I need to do today - a list that will almost certainly remain incomplete when I go to bed tonight:
1. Shave, shower and get dressed.
2. Open my Pokemon TCG advent calendar for yesterday as well as today. (Yesterday was super busy for me so 😝)
