I get the best compliments. I'm not photogenic or the life and soul of the party, but I have 'lovely straight blood vessels' (per my optician) and am 'wonderfully consistent' (my therapist)

I've just watched Final Destination: Bloodlines. It's so good! Really perked me up 🤣

Honestly, it could have just been a 15 minute short film of the opening and I still would've said it was the best in the franchise. I was TENSE.

I had no idea how often I bash myself in the nose until I had my nostril pierced yesterday.

Turns out it's a lot. A lot of times.

Assembled an exercise bike and then struggled to figure out the buckle on the strap of the pedal cage.

If that isn't the most fucking autistic thing ever I don't know what is 🤣

Happy Autism Acceptance Month to me 😆

Last July I hand-sewed all of these patches on to a holey tote bag and, just as I was reattaching the handles, my beloved Innov-is 955 died a spectacular death.

Today, I finally finished the damn thing.

8 months 🙄

Did 65 miles for the @catsprotection.bsky.social Winter Roam, and that was with 7 days of not leaving the house! My target was 50, so I'm satisfied, but I wonder how many more miles I'd have managed if I'd got myself outside all 28 days 🤔

My PIP advisor at Citizen's Advice told me if I want a boyfriend I need to learn to make eye contact.

1. That's not necessarily true.

2. If my lack of eye contact is going to repel men going forward that is GREAT NEWS.

I spent TWO AND A HALF HOURS at Citizen's Advice today getting help filling out my PIP application. This is going to take a solid week to recover from.

She reckons the assessment is likely to be over the phone😖

If I go through all this & get rejected & have to appeal I stg

I've been in a bit of a funk all week because I was sad and annoyed about missing out on the Bowling For Soup gig on Friday and then when the day came I completely forgot about it. Thanks, ADHD 😅 I've been obsessed about this for nearly a year 🙄

Removed a load of Tilly's hair from inside/behind the craft room radiator (her favourite window) and found one of her whiskers and now i'm all sentimental again. About a whisker. WHY?! JUST LIVE IN FILTH, HELEN, IT'S SAFER

Did I pay £3.55 for Dr Pepper candy floss purely out of morbid curiosity? Of course I did.

Does it taste good? Not really.

Did I suspect that before I bought it? Yep.

When I show up for Paddington walking duty he greets me enthusiastically at the door and then runs off to bring me something, usually a cushion, toy or one of his owner's slippers.

Today he brought me... Paddington. Very meta.

Figured I should share some craftiness instead of just ogling everyone else's. The cross stitch I made for my therapist for Christmas 2024. Pattern is from StitcheryBarnStore on Etsy

Storm Eowyn has forced me to cancel today's dog sitting job as it's literally knocking me off my feet every time I try to leave the house.

Stay upright, everybody.

I appear to have booked myself appointments for every day except Wednesday next week.

Thursday has two.

I did not do this on purpose 🙈

I guess an upside to being ill in bed all weekend is that I have time to try and figure out how this thing works between bouts of cross stitching.
