That’s really nice.

Just had my probation terminated….

Because we were under resourced and they couldn’t accept it.

Fuck. I’m fucked.

Had a chat to some friends, got some recruiters details and have made a plan for how to proceed.

I'm safe for around 6 months and Im pretty sure I'll be working well before then.

I'll be honest. I don't have a choice but to succeed. There is no safety net except some money. There is no home that I can live in rent free and bill free while I get back on my feet.

Which is why I can never really give up.

I guess it works out in a way.

My lower back is still no bueno. Impossible to sit in my office chair and not get pain, did as much as I could but I’m in bed now. Physio helped a bit but it’s not a miracle cure. I waddled around the block for a bit to keep my back moving, waddling is all I can muster right now. I got a few puzzled looks from my slow strange movement haha. Pleeease be better by tomorrow.

Leftover birthday cheesecake for lunch at work. Hits the spot.

Had an interesting and awesome time celebrating my husband's 50th birthday last week.

His watch tells him he has the fitness of a 20 year old and I can confirm that is true. Unfortunately the government doesn't know that and has already sent a letter to say they'll be sending out a poo kit.

It's so much nicer not having an account or the app for the other place anymore. Instead of doomscrolling, I've been doing the crosswords on the Guardian app instead.

A much more pleasant waking up experience

Goodnight all and thanks for kind words ❤️

My day off got ruined by not one but two neighbours doing LOUD renovations all day :( I've been out of the house for most of it because it's hard to deal with, but not my idea of relaxing.

It's that hour again
Of distant song birds twittering
Magpies warbling
And occasional low rumble of a car

Sadly I’m back to 2 hour blocks of sleep.

Fuck it. Gym everyday it is then.

Watched Shrek for probably the first time in 15+ years last night, so many excellent moments in that film. And it struck me that at no point did it feel like the film was trying to create or force a “viral” moment.

Started Shrek 2, will probably finish that tonight.

Thought I'd cook some fritters while the other two went driving. They took too long, fritters were delicious and I'm full now.

i bought a white chocolate pistachio rocky road as a special treat

y'know, one of those recipes that sounds better than it really is

1/2 rock out of 5

My god I cannot stop yawning

Day off because I've been sick. No doctor's appointment until 8:20 so I don't have to go off in the middle of the day to get a stick note.

It's nice to have a day off that's just me. Usually when I'm sick the kids are sick too so I need to still be a parent when I feel like ass.

this is the most beautiful thing I've read for a long time

“We don’t go to heaven when we die, we go to heaven when we’re born.” Jim Lovell ( of Apollo 13 fame )

( just so perfectly cast , I love it so much )

I’ve been spending so much time in bed because it relieves pain/takes the pressure off a chronic injury (lying down IS part of the management/treatment) but I’m going batty.

Went for a short walk because the coast looked clear but now feeling nauseous.

Watching YouTube via Brave browser during the blackout because apparently it doesn’t count views, and it has the side effect of blocking ads. Fuck YouTube.

I’ve been exploring Tubi and other legal alternatives but it seems it has the market monopolised (which is why the people in charge feel confident to pull this shit).

Ugh. I’m overdue for doing a census. Anyone else get this

Good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘😘😘
