Struggling today. My brain hates me and I’m not overly fond of it either. I had 16 years of education from the age of 5 to 21 and not a single person noticed my ADHD or dyslexia. Not even my teacher mother. I’m still so hurt and confused that no-one did. Still so rejected.

Cosmic wanted to come in so asked ‘Kizzy can you knock on the front door for me?’Kizzy was like ‘FFS just do it yourself!! 🙄’ but she decided she wanted in so battered the letterbox.
So Cosmic sat on the doorstep looking sad, thinking she wasn’t allowed in because she hadn’t knocked the door. #cats

Saw this one a book group and I’ve told the Mr that we’ve been using the sides of the stairs all wrong! How quickly can I convince him this is the way forward? Three floor house - how many more books?!!
