The blood pressure readings I have to send to my GP have proved beyond doubt that I do not have high blood pressure so why on earth have I been referred for clinical assessment? I'm sure they could be doing better things with their time & money.

This is not just a shocking statistic. It is the lived reality of women across Britain. Each number represents a life lost, a family broken, a community grieving.
When we hear this, our anger should be directed where it belongs - at the systems that fail to keep women safe - not at trans people.

I've just updated the available cats page, we have some REALLY special kitties in and some of them have been waiting ages. Their forever home might be on your timeline, please share? 🥰
Moggies looking for homes
After hearing 50,000 times that we should put the available cats on the website, we’ve made a page! Hooray! However, it is still just me doing most of the work in the shelter. So there’…

Been for an x-ray at the lovely new diagnostic centre that's so new the seats in the waiting area don't have pee stains. Went in before my appointment time which never happens in NHS situations. I do hope this is a sign of things to come.

I know my cat has been really poorly this year and I know I've claimed A LOT and I know she now has a medical condition but a premium increase of 80% feels a tad excessive

Do I regret speed eating a protein bar before gym class? Do I regret making things worse by washing it down with warm sparkly water? Also yes.

I gave explicit instructions not to touch something while my scheduled tasks ran to test the coding and guess what? Clock is now reset and I'll have to wait another 28 days to see if it all works.

At work, I'm in operations against my will because of reasons & today I've found out that operations may not be given the traditional Xmas shopping day. If this happens there will be a mutiny and I will be leading the charge.

Slightly annoyed that a simple exercise given to me by the musculoskeletal specialist on Friday has improved my bad ankle so much so quickly. I've been in pain for ages. X-ray booked for Thursday & scan appointment TBA. Not sure I need them now!

Sat down to get some christmas presents ordered but so uninspired I've wandered off. We always do lists but this year they're even worse than usual. I think everyone is going to end up with Amazon vouchers. Merry Christmas!

So. Despite me pointing out that my dyscalculia would make it difficult for me to make sense of the numbers and someone from the MI team taking on the checking, I've been asked why the numbers don't add up. Sigh.
And speaking of dense people I sent a note that the global team would collate data on 18th so today, 19th, is not the day to be pointing out errors.

Message in the work socials feed to celebrate men who are allies for women. Not really what today is about is it. I don't know how so many dense people can end up in a single organisation.

Our top UK CEO is retiring and his replacement is a man who is coming back to UK after many years in Asia instead of the woman based in the UK & who is actually the right person for the job. And we keep being told DEI is not being rolled back.

Apparently the CEO announced we are getting the traditional 'extra' day holiday for Christmas again this year but I wasn't listening. Serves me right really.
