Probably the hardest @ko-fi.com update I've ever had to write and I hope remains the hardest. I'm trying to find some light and ways of coping in this shitty, shitty timeline. ko-fi.com/post/What-is...

Breaking my silence on here to scream into the void.
Mum hospitalised with fluid on her lungs last week, mini stroke yesterday.
Find out today my contract isn't being extended beyond end of Sept because of funding cuts.
Add that to the rest of the years events... I'm tired y'all.

I've been struck by a renewed sense of disgust after my local council was one to fall to those racist cunt trumpets.
To go from Tory to *them* in the few years I've lived here just adds to the reasons for us to get the fuck outta here.
To anyone I know who voted for them...

As the year winds down, and Gen's maternity leave draws to a close, I've been thinking about how we can plan to spend more time with Next Gen, removing the need for nursery.
With this in mind, I'm aiming to go freelance again so any shares etc appreciated www.fiverr.com/s/GzKR1xe

Work and things may have been shitty lately but today I got an email that brightened my day.
I nominated our midwife from when Next Gen was born and found out today she's won an award (though she doesn't know yet) and they want us to come as a family to say a few words next week!

When the Sunday dread turns into daily dread and you end up in tears the night before work, that's probably a good indication it's not the job for you.

After that surprise meeting at work yesterday I can safely say this is the most miserable I've ever been in a job.

What a week, and it's only Tuesday.
My 98 year old nan, after years of false alarms, passed away yesterday evening. Not unexpected by any means but still sad.
This morning my baby daughter is looking like she's got chicken pox.
Whatever the third thing is, I don't want it.

We get some good news regarding our neighbours housing people finally looking to take legal action to evict them.
The police raid their house today but no one is in.
She returns home and starts hurling insults at us blaming it all on us.
Understandably, I'm now anxious as heck.
