she/her - Scottish - mamabear - spoonie - adhd - open uni psych student - creative - witch - writer - gamer - in recovery from carer burnout - officially “mid life”… why is it so hot in here?!
In the last few months I discovered Fortnite (dubbed The Midlife Crisis), switched adhd meds (much calmer and more able to focus- and switch focus!), and have started back with my psych degree via open uni (purpose! I have a purpose again!).
All in all, things are going… well!

Always forgetting this place exists… been in hermit mode, getting a lot done behind the scenes, and starting to peer out a little more now 💖
Here, have a watercolour WIP (work in progress) from hangs with my wee mum last week… and a Kenzi, when she’s so over me trying to have a lie in 😂

If you see this, post the most recent photo of yourself from your camera roll. No cheating!

Here we see Kenzi (13), carefully scanning for predators who may attack her home and family. She has a particular aversion to uniforms with “Royal Mail”, or “DPD”, and is ready to alert the pack at any moment. This has, no doubt, been key to her survival for so many years.

When you realise how much art truly is therapy, it becomes something you actively make time for as much as possible.
Watercolours are my go-to and honestly I’m not caring about how it looks, just having fun mark-making and seeing how the paints move and mix together

My gentle giant Milo, also known as our “wee panther”, and often called for by singing “Milo-lo, what’s your name, Milo-lo, what’s your name” (thank you Rihanna!).
He’s our big old boy at 14 and here he’s showing off how big his biscuit-making utensils (claws) are! 😂

Our wee dafty Kenzi, a Yorkshire terrier… she’s 13 now but still acts like a pup and loves meeting new people. She wants to be everyone’s bestie! And ofc she is characterised by the telltale boopable nose, and lil blep tongue as she sleeps. 🥰
