I'm emerging out of my depression pit I've been in since November. Thanks to anti depressants and changing jobs. (Glossing over the hell that was job hunting for the last 3 years to get to this point)

Handed in my notice to my job of 6 years yesterday. Feels very bittersweet at the moment and hasn't quite hit me yet.

LOL I mustered up the courage and worked through my anxiety to go to the gym for the first time in ages only to get there and be told they were closing in 15 minutes for a day or two to do essential repairs. 🙃 Oh well! Maybe I'll be brave again in a few days.

Returning from a foggy lunch walk to a jacket potato with left over chili is slightly brightening these gloomy January days.

I really miss my old art class. The only place I found in my new area is currently only offering children's classes.

Heading out for a nice NYE Thai meal in a bit and then home again for a cosy night in. I am very sleepy today and will likely be in bed by 10pm!😆

I already feel bad sending e-gift cards for my family this year because of the disruption, but I'm struggling to even do that because it won't accept payment from places outside of Canada or US 😭

Feeling a bit wobbly and anxious after dropping my senior pup off for a dental procedure at the vets this morning. She wasn't happy with us about not having breakfast or treats this morning and then being ferried off to the vets. 😥

Love that I always manage to leave my parcels in the collection locker until the final day leaving myself no option but to collect them in the worst possible weather 🙃

I did not expect to have a regular heron visitor to the oak tree behind our house! ❤️❤️❤️
Moving out of London to be nearer to nature has paid off!!

Had one of my best birthdays in a long time. Mooched around Brighton for the afternoon, got some donuts, then tried out an Indian street food restaurant for dinner. Treated myself to a Wildlife Trust membership as well today. Now tucked into bed before 11pm with a book. Maybe 39 will be an ok year.

One of my favourite things about my birthday is that it's the same day as Steve Irwin Day.

I'm having a terrible social anxiety day and just about coping with kitchen fitters in my house. So of course one of them walked into the room to ask me a question just as I had just spilled my drink down my front and I was covered in chocolate from the flake I just ate. 🫠

So cool seeing our kitchen come together. I was a bit worried that since we started the process in June I might suddenly hate or regret the choices we made, but I'm just thrilled we'll have a kitchen that actually works.😆

I've just turned on the opening ceremony and can't tell if I'm into it or not. It's a little bit chaotic 😆

So excited that the ball is rolling on updating our dinky 1970s kitchen. I love the retro cabinets but they are not in a good state and the floor to ceiling tiles in yellow and brown with "wood effect" accent tiles which look like spores from a distance need to go.

Too many men hootin' and hollerin' outside now. Neighbours rage screaming in their gardens about sports is not a vibe I'm into on a Sunday night while I'm trying to wind down. Sorry for your loss...but please take a breath.

We hired professional cleaners to do an end of tenancy clean at our last place. The check out report came back and showed they missed cleaning some pretty standard things. We've politely requested they return and fix the highlighted issues on the report and they are not happy about it 🥴

But on an exciting note! In June we will no longer be lining the pockets of a greedy landlord. We're moving into our own home. I feel very very grateful to be in this position. I did not think it would be possible. 🥹

I need to find a new job this summer. I cannot cope with planning and attending another one of these multiday conferences again next year. My mental health plummets every year while organising this thing. My introverted socially anxious self is not cut out for event planning.
