I’m happy to report a pretty good week; I think I’m starting to feel the benefits of my new medication, albeit with the gastric side effects still there.

Love to the kittehs! 

Hang tough, Maya

I’m going to hell for this, but the first thing I thought of when I saw that picture was....

My brother and I saw Akira in the Scala cinema in London, back in the very late 80s. Something something, get off my lawn....

Glad Blanche is recovering well!

Fingers crossed, I hope they don't keep you hanging on any longer!

I had a rough start to my week, with what I thought was gastric problems but turned out to side effects from new medication. I had my latest counseling session too; I felt really annoyed at myself after for talking around everything, even things I thought I wanted to discuss.

To be fair, on the ration pack food I’ve eaten, the expiration date is more of an inspection date. I’ve eaten some majorly out of date ration food, with neither a second thought nor any consequences. You're on your own for the other stuff though...

A coffee made with kitchen descaler, or the first, thirsty swallow thereof. Pretty sure they were trying to kill me, despite their apologies!

I had a fairly big clear out of books a few years ago, and broke them down into 3 categories; keepers, charity shop donations and ones to give to a relative who wanted to start an Amazon bookshop as a hobby.

I’ve started to indulge my creative side and write some “poetry”; I’ve been writing a lot recently as part of my counseling, and sometimes writing in a more formal journal style doesn't let me get things out fast enough, or else I overthink what I'm writing. I'm enough of a noob that I only know it's free verse, and…

The absence of Jaffa cakes on this list concerns me....

I’m starting to come down with a cold, and I’m scared images from this video will populate my fever-dreams....

And I think it’s worth saying that this (in all likelihood) wasn’t a one-off, nor was it the first time she had been assaulted. Whichever piece of shit was doing this, was probably doing it for a while

That is what truly concerns me.
