I found out today I have a heart-shaped uterus. That lesser known album of collected Nirvana B sides.
I also have a large ovarian cyst so it's surgery for this bunny.

Gynaecology in the UK: I'm supposed to have an urgent uterine ultrasound today. There's a 2 week deadline from referral, which I will breach on Monday. It was cancelled yesterday. Meanwhile a friend who no longer has a cervix has ONCE AGAIN had a shitty letter about not having a smear test recently.

(1/3) Two years ago I saw the physio at my GP practice about my chronic low back & SI joint pain. They were pretty sure I had ankolysing spondylitis, & referred me to rheumatology, who said 'yah no, she meets the diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia, so she can go see the pain clinic instead. Bye'.

My vets have asked me to start sedating Bramble before check ups as he is hard work. So I now have to give him gabapentin in a lick e lix. He has bloods done earlier so he is a bit spaced out this afternoon.

Nobody is more obsessed with chicken than my cat. He knows there's roast chicken in the fridge and it is the best & worst knowledge he could have. It's ruling his evening. He is staring fixedly at his dish in case more chicken magically appears in it. He is the embodiment of hope and disappointment.

One of the risks of queerness that I feel doesn't get discussed enough is the risk of dating somebody with the same name as yourself.
This post was prompted by my going on a date with another woman called Kat.

My mum bought me a fibromyalgia body pillow for my birthday, which Bramble initially hated because it reduced access to me at night At 7am today however, he realised he too could sleep on it, and get even closer to me than usual. And so I awoke to him sprawled all over my face snorepurring.

It feels early but I have blue tits in my nesting box already & have done for about a week. I thought they may have been sheltering from the cold, but the level of industry this morning makes me think they have claimed it for this year's breeding season. Super flattered to be picked this early 😁

Do you ever just sniff your cat? Pick them up, bury your face in their fur and properly smell them?

I know I am stating the obvious here, and yes it is winter, but fuck me it's cold.

Gosh. Going back to work after nearly three weeks off in the middle of winter is quite tiring isn't it. I propose we just hibernate in the winter in future.

Not posted for a while. Back to work tomorrow after a long Christmas break. Spent most of it trying to get my nervous system to calm the fuck down. Made some progress there. Suspect Bramble will be unhappy about this turn of events. Oh, and it was my birthday on Sunday. Now closer to 50 than 40...

Heading down to Brighton in a bit. Only for one night, but I got my bag down to pack, and Bramble (cat) hid under the bed. The curse of having a smart and very clingy cat ☹️

Watching Fern Brady at the Hexagon. It's my week off so clearly I bumped into somebody from work (somebody I like though, so win!).

I have become the type of person who makes her own granola, and I can't decide if I am happy about this.

True story. Though I also totally recommend therapy too. Both the practice, and the band.

Saw a Kestrel on my walk this afternoon. Highlight of the day (along with a pub roast for lunch and sitting on my sofa doing cross stitch with my cat.....)

If you've ever wondered how many 'steps' there are in a 45 minute full load cycle on a Hotpoint washing machine, it's 1166. I now have a really clean step counter.
