I don't really know the call-in-sick procedure for my (not so) new job and now it's an awkward game of chicken because I need to find out but if I ask and then I'm off sick soon afterwards it'll look planned 🙃
Partly because I could do with a couple of sick days for a sensory meltdown to subside...

My mood has probably been too low/inconsistent for too long now so I think it's time I went to my GP. Maybe I need vitamin D shots or something.

This is too bloody early to be awake on a Sunday. Remind me to double check timings before I book races in future 😴

I have a fasting blood test in the morning which is theoretically a great way to force myself not to snack tonight. But all I can think is "you've still got 45 minutes to stuff your face"

Being diagnosed as neuro divergent as an adult I often realise shit from my childhood were obvious signs.
I NEVER remembered to eat the chocolate from my advent calendar. I'd generally eat it all in one go at the end as a result. And I was obese as a kid so it's not like I didn't want it 😅

My Garmin gave me a sleep score of 98 out of 100 for last night.
I feel somewhat differently about it. 😴

Not had the best day.
Kinda in the mood to just turn full chaos mode. Like there's only a month left of the year, let's fuck shit up.
It's high-risk high-reward. Could self destruct, could do some epic nonsense.

I need a shorthand way to signal to my friends "I'm a bit sad but not in a way you need to worry - just in a way that I could do with some human interaction - but not so desperately anyone needs to stop what they're doing - just when you're free can we hang out..."

Currently in the process of weaning myself off my adhd meds.
It's INTERESTING but also difficult and also brilliant.
Lets see how the work I've done on myself in the last 4 years holds up*
*For those that have known me IRL in that time do I seem to have changed much? I feel like I have.

Tempted to keep a spreadsheet next year on all the running related things I spend money on just to see how much it is. Now I go through three pairs of shoes a year and book races in other countries I think it'll be an eye opener 😬

I'm planning to do a run at lunch time so I put my running gear on this morning under a warm layer so I can save time getting changed. However it's MUCH COLDER than I expected so I'm gonna have to dig out my running leggings and get fully changed anyway 😅

I struggle to sleep at the best of times so the fact I just dozed off for half an hour - fully clothed in front of netflix - shows you just how exhausted I am 😅

I thought I got over my jet lag on Monday (I had the day off so I slept until 10am and felt like I'd caught up). But fuck me I'm still exhausted.

I need a new creative outlet which means I may buy a piano on black Friday because that's totally normal and not at all impulsive.

As we approach the end of the year I'm doing a lot of reflection. I've achieved most of the things I wanted to and I have an idea of what I want to accomplish next.
However there are some things weighing on me that have been for a year or two now that I can't seem to get to the bottom of.

I enjoy some of Pokémon ZA but parts of it is just pissing me off.
I don't like how they can knock out the player directly so easily. In the mega battle I'm doing now it's basically one-hitting me. The amount I'm dodging it doesn't leave me much time to actually attack.

I'm flying today. I went to bed at a reasonable time and I was tired and I STILL couldn't sleep from nerves/excitement/general ADHD.
I really hope I manage to get some sleep on the plane.

Last minute order of something for my holiday. Email today to confirm it's coming via Evri.
The real kicker? Is that delivery was £4.99, and even to click and collect in store it was the same price. They could have sent it royal mail less than that 🙃

There's a group of us doing a marathon next week and we're arranging food (pasta) for the evening before.
I was about to make a Pasta King joke before I realised I'm the youngest one going and no one else will get the school dinner reference 😅

Trying to arrange a surprise (for someone not on bluesky so don't worry it's not you) is proving more difficult than first thought

I'm an hour or two into Pokémon Legends ZA and whilst it seems good so far the tutorial element is SO FUCKING SLOW.
It's not rocket science, show me the basics, give me the option to find out more if I want to, and let me play the game.
Move 7 steps, mini cutscene, repeat for an hour 🙃

I do enjoy the traitors but it was somewhat slightly ruined when I saw Richard Osman (I think, it was a while ago) point out that the first half of the round tables are pointless because even if you get traitors out the producers will just put more back in... Because you need them for the game.

Please can map applications stop defaulting to the weird '3D' view where the camera is at a horizontal angle?
I don't understand how it's useful for anyone, but accept others may like it, but why is it the default? The amount of times I have to toggle it off when I'm routing somewhere is silly 🙃
