To context to why this infuriated my ex:
He constantly shamed me for my appearance; my hair and droopy left eyelid (especially when I’d been underwater in the pool or squinting in sun) and after sex would say things like ‘ugh I can’t believe I did that’

So me being hot doctors pick had him plucked
Just had a memory resurface of backpacking with my abusive ex when I was 20.

A super hot Canadian doctor was on our coach. I fell down a hill and sexy doctor RAN to help me, checked on me all day, then later shyly asked me to go for a drink with him.

My ex was LIVID.

I shoulda let him smash.

Got a soft mullet and wanted to make sure I could still trap thirsts.

Reminder that if you want some genuinely creepy short stories you can read ‘The Little Book of Lesser Known Monsters.’

I still look back at a couple of stories from that and think “what the fuck is wrong with me?”

(‘The Worst Spice’ and ‘Meat Your Greens’)

If anyone needs me I’ll be lingering in the doorway where the dramatic lighting is.

This is especially a betrayal because sushi rice is my main safe food and one of like three things I’ll actually make for myself but right now I feel like I won’t be able to do it again now.
Today’s meltdown brought to you by:

✨not putting the lid on the rice cooker properly✨

My resolution for 2026 is to be a little bit less resilient and a little more ferocious.

Sky news joining the anti ND movement.

Wanna know why ADHD ‘drug’ (yes careful not to say ‘medication’) use has rocketed? Because of improvement in diagnosis and more appropriate care.

They even say at one point “not all ADHD counts as a disability.” Literal health disinformation. Disgusting.

Working with a client who replies to all correspondence using GenAI. Their responses come super fast, long, repetitive, circular, and borderline incoherent.

I just spent an hour crafting a response specifically designed to break a further GenAI response by confusing it or making it eat itself.

Sometimes I wonder about how far I’ve come mentally because I literally just thought for what I think is the first time in my life and genuinely believed it: I DESERVE GREAT THINGS.

“Why do you write?”

Because it’s the only way to make the little people constantly going on adventures in my head be quiet for a bit.

I have arisen.

Special thanks to antibiotics and steroids.

How I feel more than ten days into being sick:

Two hours after first dose of steroids and I can breathe well enough to sit and miaow outside fiancé’s office door for attention.
Been very ill this last week but now started on steroids and antibiotics so hoping I’m back with some more energy sooooon 💚

Watched yesterdays UK Traitors and can’t stop laughing that the author went into a tailspin because they were presented with a dramatic finale scenario but at the midpoint of the story and couldn’t help but main character out.

*woman slow zig-zagging walk in front of me*

Me: She might have a good reason for doing this.

*she is playing on her phone*

Me: I’m sure she’s a nice person.

*she sits on the same train as me and starts a loud call on speakerphone holding her phone like she’s on The Apprentice*

Me: I was wrong.

I love that I wrote and self-published four books, wrote two more books, queried, got an agent, and am now on submission to publishers and NOW is when I stop and think to read a couple of books on ‘how to write and structure a book’ for the first time🤣💀 ADHD at its finest.
