Debs with cats
@debswithcats.bsky.social
Loves cats. Now also a proud dog owner. M.E. (Towards the milder end - although that’s a total misnomer). Autistic. Experience of mental health services. Will talk mostly about the above. She/Her.
Too many things on the to do list. I’m going to hide instead.

B got back an hour ago and I’m not in bed in the spare room with Luna purring at me. She’s happy about the company and the cuddles.

I’m just glad for a moment not to have to watch the awake Stella puppy for mischief.

Do you say puhcaan or peecan for pecan?

I’ll try nap on the sofa. I’m not good at sleeping in a different spot to bed but to sleep in my bed I’d have to kick the comfortable cats out of the bedroom & bring Stella who is currently lying on top of me upstairs with me. Having the cats & Stella in the bedroom would cause too huch excitement!

I had a S’mores cookie today which was basically a layer of soft marshmallow and a layer of chocolate between two layers of cookie. Nom. Quite sweet though.

Stella did come to bed early with me thankfully at 8.30pm. But she would me up at 4.30am for a potty break & after another doze we’ve now been awake since 6.15am. My body aches are a tad better than last night but headache is still there.

I’m so exhausted after this day and I’m on my own until tomorrow evening. My body hurts. Can someone explain to Stella that it’s bed time 3-4hrs earlier than she’s used to,

GP seemed as baffled as me by my blurred vision episodes but seemed to think we should definitely investigate. Blood tests to rule out basics next week. Then follow up in jan and if blood tests clear (which they probably will be) then a referral to eye hospital.

Stella santa wants to know if you’ve been naughty or nice?

Got my brownie this time. It wasn’t that great. But at least I got it. With a Christmas tree marshmallow. I’m so tired now, plus jaw clenched& stomach uncomfortable (not from food) but from the stress & noise of going out for a group meal and that even with therapy dog and very familiar people.

Out for Christmas lunch with craft group and Stella at the same place as on Tuesday night. Food is getting out faster at least but I’m already tired. Stella is happy though because her dog friend is here.

The IOS has updated on my phone and I hate it every time.

So tired. Work has been annoying in some ways today. Can someone tell Stella not to bark or try to chew me or the tree for the rest of the evening? Thanks.

I had a nightmare in which I suddenly got told that I earned too much to receive PIP and that I’d have to pay it back. I searched the internet in a panic for the maximum allowed earnings under pip in my dream and couldn’t find anything and got super stressed.

IRL pip is independent of income.

It’s rally hard getting up in the morning for the commute now as it’s so dark and over an hour earlier than I’m used to.

Penultimate commute this year though. Yay.

I was worried Stella would be freaked out by the light trail. But she absolutely loved it. We had to cut some of it off it as it was too much walking for me and Stella but we enjoyed it and had a German bratwurst after.

Hello everyone at #madskychat due to recent CFS flare and going on a light trail today in the early evening I won’t be able to host tonight. My apologies and I’ll see you all next week.

I didn’t realise toilets had genders

I’m feeling a bit better so far today for the first time since the day after the charity swim. Fingers crossed I’m heading back to baseline

Someone’s trying to chew the ornaments

In better news I had a bar of galaxy chocolate in bed when I got home. No one should be deprived of their brownie.

I had to leave dinner before dessert as even 2hrs in dessert hadn’t come out and I was absolutely exhausted by that point from peopling. Although I did have a nice time mostly talking to the autistic woman closest to me in age who is also late diagnosed. I feel quite relaxed with her

Just having a lie down before the autism group Christmas meal.

How’s everyone’s day so far? Are you having a good day?

B’s new Christmas lyrics “it’s the most flu-full time of the year”

We had an appointment with a dog trainer for a 1-2-1 who does the puppy classes to come here at 4pm and she cancelled at short notice. Part of me is incredibly grateful as I can rest more. But part of me was excited for help with Stella’s reluctance to walk with 1 of us & her barking at the cats.
