Dogs, walking in nice places and my boring/deranged thoughts! Now also banging on about my child. He/Him
It's weird how quickly it's crept into life. Even silly videos on Instagram I spend too much energy thinking "is this real life?"
It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

Speaking with my Mum earlier and mentioned maybe going to the lake District on Sunday and she suddenly blurts out "I don't think you should be doing that if you've got a child".

The UK population pyramid looking more and more like a capital T
Why would young people hang around to slave for people who very openly hate them and have deliberately created a malicious system that exploits, harasses and demeans them as much as it can

Ahhh Zach keeps doing more and more of his "walks". Like over the space of a couple of days he's got so much more confident.
We also think he's quite clearly saying "book" when he sees a book.

Think Luna had one of the best sleeps of her life last night after all her drugs.
Must be bizarre to her that she has no idea why she slept so well.

I pay an absolute fortune in tax on my fuel. So yeah make them pay. Double it even.

Reading about the EV pay per mile road tax. Trying to decide if it's fair. E.g. if I drive to the Lake District and back it's around 200 miles. At 3p per mile I think that's about £6.

Was going to join her on the Chill Protocol but the joint I hid in a jar also got wet in the jar so I'll be a reliable trip sitter.
Tonight is the night when we have to start the "chill protocol" for Luna's big shave/brush tomorrow.
Need to give her gabapentin and trazodone and I'm so nervous to do it.

He's been doing these "trust falls" recently. Chose today to do them all the time so we're calling it; he's walking!

Started the day very early with his new busy board. Then a climb on his new climbing frame. We all walked the dogs together and then the humans went to a giant soft play.
Not a bad first birthday 🥳

Looking at a trip to the Lake District on Sunday. I've got a route planned for 4 or 5 hills, but if we do alright I'd get a few more.

Renewing some security certificates today. It's a relatively easy task, but I always feel incredibly nervous about doing it.

It's only been about five hours since Zach left, but I miss him. The silence in the house is too much.

Managed to eat some food so I can have some ibuprofen. Let us pray that this has been a false alarm.

Think The Illness is about to claim me. Splitting headache, waves of nausea and a feeling in my stomach that suggests it would be unwise to trust a fart.
