I’m not sure there’s a word for it but the feeling you get when friends move away & then you see on socials when they come back to the area but never get in touch with you, that’s an awful feeling.

Being a woman in engineering remains exhausting. You send emails, you request, you follow up, you go thru all the proper channels. Crickets.
You push it up the chain. To a man. They ask. Instantaneous reply.
Fucking. Exhausting.

I’ve never wanted to throat punch someone more than the cunt who cut me off on the upwards slope of a car park, despite the fact he’s supposed to give way & then starts making gestures at ME like I’m supposed to be ‘looking & thinking’. God I hope he crashes into a wall.

My fucking Invisalign permanent wire brace on the top row of my teeth has snapped. At lunch. So I immediately call my dentist & the soonest they can get me in is MONDAY?!
This thing is sharp, poking my lip & gums & you can’t see me until almost a week?!

I forgot just how fucking annoying this one PT at my gym is. All he does is shout ‘encouragement’ and it is beyond infuriating

Love getting nearly run over on a zebra crossing because some bint in her massive bmw wasn’t paying attention. Literally had to jump backwards.

Just saw a young woman on the London Underground with possible the most beautiful Afro I’ve ever seen. It was absolutely magnificent.

Oooft. Getting back into a routine after 3 weeks in Japan, then a huge migraine the day after we got back plus a game at the weekend, my head is spinning.

As much as I still have some stuff to do here in Japan that I’m looking forward to, I don’t think I’m ever taking a vacation this long ever again. I’m kind of over it & just want to be home. Missing my people & my routines.

I hate how broken my brain is. I’ll be here sitting at breakfast in Hiroshima on the 14th floor of this hotel admiring the view & willing myself to try & retain the memory. But I know it’ll be all hazy & forgotten in months.

One more day at work. We fly to Japan on Wednesday. It’s almost here. I’ve not had a break since Christmas and it is long overdue. 3 weeks to explore & switch my brain off. Chances are my body will shut down on the 3rd day 😂

It is staggering to me that people who are upset about Charlie Kirk being murdered are AUTOMATICALLY assuming it was someone ‘on the left’. Like. Lol. No one even knows who did it.

Everything sucks. Everything hurts. People I love are dying or suffering terribly. I feel isolated and alone a lot of the time.
I am tired & a bit burnt out.

Success. All bullet train reservations for our trip to Japan have been booked!
Managed to book for the correct side to potentially see Mount Fuji on the way back from Kyoto to Tokyo but I know it’s a slim chance.
Going to try the luggage forwarding from Kyoto!

Had a hell of a morning. Woke up with a horrendous hockey head. Ended up throwing up my morning shake at work. Took a while for things to settle. Then remembered I’d taken an elbow to the head at training last night. So probably slightly concussed.

This nose ring man. I’m back at the tattoo place to likely get it swapped out again. It just won’t settle 😩

I have successfully adulted today. Painted the skirting board I’ve been putting off for months & emptied out most of the shit from the workshop into the hippo bag. Even booked it for collection. I feel a bit grimy but glad it’s all sorted. Workshop becoming more accessible.

I’ve been moderately chonky for a lot of my life. It’s only in the last few years that I’ve actually slimmed down to what my frame actually is. And thus, whenever I buy new clothes, I nearly always end up buying things that are too big for me. Sigh. Faff.
