Never usually admit this but actually very grateful I had my teen son at 16. Yeah sure, technically he’s a blessing as I can’t have more 🤷♀️ ngl though, it’s meant I’ve managed to avoid this awful ‘Elf on the Shelf’ trend that won’t fuckin end 😩 By night 2 I’d have boot him out the window 🥾

Since yesterday I’ve haggled & bought on Vinted 3 separate bundles (5, 8 & 17) of many pricey branded garms (mainly lots of items & another oodie for the teen’s Xmas gifts and nice shirts if he still opts for sixth form. And some workwear bits for me) all still in mint condition?

To think he was wary of me/women/fem presenting 6 months ago (unless there was food/treats involved) and now he opts to rest here and have cuddles like this most nights & mornings. Little Snow Love has saved me thrice as much as I saved him and he doesn’t even realise 🥹🤍

I try to avoid TikTok like the plague (I know myself, I’ll end up doomscrolling on it too much), yet the ‘What’s Up’ x ‘Beez in the Trap’ trend has not been as avoidable. Beyond ENRAGED that it’s a banger & catchy af. WHY DOES IT WORK SO WELL? AND WHY DO I WANNA DO THE RAP PART??

Just waved off my good mate (also been my hairdresser for the past 17 years) as she’d finished doing all 3 of our new hair do’s at ours. Anyway, I think we need to readjust our usual time we retreat upstairs, as it’s just gone 10:30pm & the cat is FUMIN we’re still not in bed 😬

Not even gonna lie, today’s been a bit tough (especially on my body). I currently can’t sleep due to the stiffness & pain, especially as I’m a bit squished, between a snoring husband & a happy sleeping cat, making it hard to move in bed. I can’t complain though, how lucky am I? 🥰

Ok so I started gettin a bit emo over missing my old non-disabled body (had a horrible few days on top of stuff in the below post). I was regulating my emotions & looked up to this judgement.

Lol physically struggled to get outta bed today; my whole body’s v stiff, sore & clicky - even my fingers are swollen & ache. Extreme cold has definitely hit us! Managed to clean/tidy but not to MY standard, it’s infuriating being disabled. PIP deny me now so can’t afford help 😅

So, I’m (only!) 33y/o but pretty sure I’m at the point in life where I should finally stop kidding myself and just admit I don’t know the majority of musicians listed in New Music Friday playlists.

Two things (apparently I contributed to) that pissed off my guy Snowy today so far:
1. The cold temperatures hit. (As I can control this obvs).
2. He felt full unexpectedly quick (had his lunch AND played fetch & eat with crisps) & I wasn’t so ate my lunch. (Without him, am the worst catmum obvs).

I usually make my own mind (with added broccoli and it’s all dead nice too), but this fuckin slaps icl, and obviously a piece of piss to just bang in the oven. Been mugging myself off for years I stg

Well, somehow managed to sell both already and with minimal major weirdos and/or dramas. I guess miracles do happen, even FB marketplace miracles. Buzzin 🙌
Just had to upload my kid’s old smart TV & our old coffee table on FB marketplace to sell asap and it’s filled me with utter dread already. I really cba with weird and/or shit offers or no interest at all - there’s never any in between 😅

After all the hospital 💩, I’m finally retrying propantheline bromide for hyperhidrosis. So far, so good w no major bad side effects 🤞🏻 can’t remember the last time I felt the cold properly like this, especially w/o a sweaty head/face - even actively wanted to put the heating on!
