Crazy how much better I feel when I am in the bath when I have a cold. Alleviates almost all of my symptoms

I need to learn that well loved and highly recommend books are that for a reason and I need to stop putting off reading them because I almost always love them

I knew I was going to get ill this week, but I thought it would happen after Tuesday, I do not have time for it before then

The TV turned off because it had been on the same channel too long without any buttons being pushed, I'm sitting reading my book, Dad walks in, gives me some food, turns the TV on and leaves again??? I don't need the tv on to read my book

Why do so many people refuse to use headphones on public transport??

Exciting moment changing the battery in my ref talk for Murrayfield tomorrow instead of having to pay £8 for a new one 😂

I've heard a few clips of @marishawallace.bsky.social singing Maybe This Time from the Big Night Of Musicals and I am so glad that I bought a ticket to see her in Cabaret. I think she's going to blow my socks off

I'm really bad at delegating but tonight I was able to delegate things to my friends and it was so nice knowing that if I asked them to do something it would be done 💞

Spent an hour sectioning and dying my hair earlier only for the purple to not even appear so it just looks blue and green

My favourite part of chronic fatigue is when I've had a really busy day, not had enough sleep, then my body decides it can't relax properly so I can't sleep properly and I end up in a stupid pain and fatigue cycle

I know a lot of people really love the ACOTAR books, and a lot of people really don't like them. I'm currently half way through the second book and they're just fine?

Walkers tomato ketchup crisps are elite

One of my favourite foods have changed their recipe and it tastes fine but it's not the same 😫

Bought myself a refurbished tablet to read on because Libby is killing my phone battery, and it won't even turn on 😫

I'm basically nocturnal at this point

Sorry what do you mean I'm going to see Eva Noblezada, Reeve Carney, André De Shields, Patrick Page and Amber Gray in Hadestown????? 🤯

I don't understand why my library has so few books on the Libby app

I will never tire of hearing Lucie Jones sing anything from Wicked. I cannot tell you how much I loved her Elphaba

Phoning my doctors surgery at 11.30 and being 10th in the queue is a joke. The message when you initially rings says they don't have any appointments for the day, but I wonder how many of the people in front of me are trying to get appointments?

When my TN flared really badly last year and I couldn't deal with anything cold near my face I started using lukewarm to warm water and honestly I've never gone back (except when I'm on camp and the water choice is freezing or boiling)
I brush my teeth in warm water - it's so much nicer, toothpaste foams more, my teeth feel cleaner, people should try it.

I love that the boss' wife was like "if you're gonna be hungover on Thursday take a half day, or a whole day" and the boss was like "I think it'll be quite a chill day so don't be too stressed about it" because everyone knows he gets the most messed up at work nights out 😂

I know that being in the cold doesn't actually give you a cold, but I stood outside freezing for 4 hours this morning and developed cold symptoms this afternoon

December being a 3 week month for pay then January being 6 weeks is less than ideal

If you know anyone who regularly deals with any type of pain, I 100% recommend buying them one. Honestly such a life changer
Buying myself a heating pad was one of the best gifts I've ever given myself
