Halfway through and haven’t laughed so much in ages

[You’ll have to imagine cast on the stage you can do it I believe in you]

I don’t really remember much of reading The Vampire Lestat the first time around at 15 except that I read it on holiday but my god, part three with Gabrielle is…so much.

Literally no memory of how teenage me reacted to this having gone in completely blind, but the me right now at 28 is suffering
Photo of Ben affleck smoking with a beer bottle beside him. He looks tired and fed up with the world much like me suffering through fictional incestuous descriptions of a vampire lusting after his own mother for several chapters

Hello why has MS office changed their icons? they look all wet and melty now. Hateful
Close up of windows task bar showing the new icons for outlook, teams, word, PowerPoint and excel. They look similar to the previous icons, but with curved corners and gradients that make them look shiny and wet. Objectively I suppose they look quite nice but autistically I have to say the change is not worth it. I don’t want my programs to be wet please and thank. That would break the computer.

Submitted my self assessment tax return mid May. Been chasing it on the online portal since then. Every time I check it’s like “you should hear by [later date]” and you can’t get any further. Just checked it again and I get this message :) FUCKIN DIDNT THO DID I
Cropped photo of screen. White text on green box reads “You should have received a reply by 28 May 2025”

So the tea I’ve been using to try and get to sleep at a reasonable time has little sayings and things on the tag. Usually they have a chilled out fortune cookie vibe but this one straight up feels like a threat

BEHOLD! THE FRODGE 🐸

(frog fridge. Will be added to as more frog art is acquired)
Photo of a wooden kitchen cupboard door that hides an in-built fridge (trust me). The cupboard door is decorated with 6 different prints depicting frogs. 1 is a green prints that reads “it is not whether you win or lose. IT’S FROG.” Another shows a pink frog on a black background with a speech bubble reading “have a nice day”. There is a colour picture showing a frog wearing headphones sat on a lily pad, and another that is line art of a frog sat on a mushroom holding an umbrella. Another print has a frog sat amongst leaves ontop of a skull. The final one depicts a frog wizard

Cappy completely underrepresenting my achievements there.
Also got 100% of the power moons from most of the kingdoms so far because I am a side quest bitch first and foremost😌
Screenshot from Mario Odyssey showing Cappy saying “We’ve found 250 Power Moons!” While in the background the Odyssey shows that 407 moons have in fact been found

Love when online sellers provide detailed descriptions of the item for sale
Cropped photo of a computer screen showing a pop up that reads “Item description form the seller” in large bold text. Beneath it in smaller text is the single word “Book”

Shortly after she assumed the Dinner Time stance. She’s been fed and is now in her humid hide (preferred bed), with her head poking out and looking towards the tv, which is not on. It is usually on by now. I’m going to put it on, just for her
Same leopard gecko now photographed from the front through a pane of glass. She is looking out of the glass awaiting her food

Glanced at Marley’s viv earlier and she was just out and about, climbing (something she couldn’t do FOR A YEAR) and going about her business.

Overwhelmed with love that she’s still here

Cannot tell you how many attempts it took to get through this level in Mario Wonder. Three star difficulty my whole entire arse. Smashed it tho, didn’t I?

(Tbh it’s lucky I got all the coins and the flag in one because like fuck am I trying it again)
Photo of a turquoise switch lite with Mario wonder open. The level highlighted is badge challenge Boosting Spin Jump 2, with the flag, wonder seed and all three coins collected. Over the screen is my hand and my middle finger up towards it

It’s my sweet baby girl Marley’s 15th birthday today. She’s been with me since she was 5months old. She’s been through a hell of a lot over the past year, recovering from near death and major surgery, and we’re finally towards the end of recovery. Here’s to as many more years together as we can get💛

This morning dad propped up this box on some plant pots to provide the tortoises with some extra shade. A little while later, mum discovered this.

I don’t really know what dad expected 😂 mum propped the box up in a sturdier way and it was much appreciated by all

Update: she’s exploring
Photo shows a very tiny (hatchling) tortoise in an enclosure filled with soil. She sits at the edge of a large shallow water bowl, and further back is a slate tile with fresh food on

Hello. For those of us (all of us) that need a bit of joy today

Marley, the two time emergency spay champion and fucking incredibly resilient creature, did her first near complete, unassisted shed in over 15 months yesterday 🥺

Also look how nice and healthily chonk she is now

Gonna be honest folks the chronic part of my chronic mental health issues is really starting to piss me off

What do you mean I came off the drug that was causing the brain fog and what I now get instead is regular depression?

And the rest of the herbs - I used some of the thyme (left) in a mushroom pie last week. I think I’ll be doing some kind of pasta soon to make use of the basil. Rosemary (right) is still small but smells amazing
