Suffering with an emotional hangover today. Feelings, rather than alcohol, are to blame.

It’s the best book I’ve read in ages. I loved Charles. Glad you liked it.

The prose is just wonderful:

“Mothers were a place to put down your heart. They were a resting stop to recover your breath.”

“It’s like they’ve forgotten everything important isn’t it? I mean, forgotten that things like cats and dancing exist.” 2/2

I have just read #Rooftoppers by #KatherineRundell for a friend of my mum who wanted a review before she gave it to her grandchildren.
And what a book it is! It’s just so beautiful in every way. 1/2

Exercise tolerance test does not sound fun. 🙁 Hope it all goes well.

Have faffed about for over 20 minutes trying to work out when was a good time to book my opticians appointment. 👀
You’d think after all this time adulting would be a bit easier….🥴

Yikes. I always dread the choice of card from mine so a personalised poem inside would be a step too far.
Hideous in fact.

Autistic burnout.
The exhaustion we feel isn’t only emotional or psychological. It’s physiological. Every small task — cooking, cleaning, walking our dog — requires executive function, energy, and a sense of safety. It feels like climbing a hill with weights on. The fatigue is real, not imagined.

When we say, “I can’t do what others can,” what we really mean is that our nervous system experiences the world at a different intensity and speed — and we’re living with the aftermath of having forced it to cope for too long.

Thank you for this, I had no idea about bear’s grease! Not for me thanks….

Also a sentence I didn’t think I’d read today. “Bear’s grease itself fell out of popularity in the mid-Victorian period, replaced, in the 1860s, by alpaca pomatum.” 👀😂
