This little 13 year old girl is doing so so well. She came to us skin and bone, filthy with matted fur, and covered in poo after being abandoned and living on the streets. After several baths, grooming and lots of vet tests, she’s now on the right meds. She really is the sweetest girl.

Head is in an ok place, if a bit sad, and I’ve added some really good things to my life. So now my body has decided it’s time for PEM after two months of acute stress. I’m seeing this as a positive thing as it means I’m not running on adrenaline. Rest and healing for me now.

I knew today would be hard for multiple reasons and it really is. The last six months has been gradually getting more and more brutal. I’m fed up of whining about it and also just very very sad.

Universal credit health assessment done. Six weeks plus wait to find out what they decide. Wow that was exhausting 😳

Ugh. Had to send a ‘no I do not want to be friends’ message to ex, after series of weird impersonal texts from her and excuses why she can’t pick up her key. I need some self respect. This is just not ok. I’m just so very tired.

Took extra steroids during the arrggghhh weeks of the breakup as I kept feeling my cortisol dropping low (adrenals don’t work). Zero pain. Reduced the steroids back down and now have all the pain. 🤔🤦🏼♀️

I bought this ten years ago and have been working on it every day for the last week. Wonder if I’ll have finished it in another ten years …

I appear to have picked up a stomach bug from the poorly kitten. This year really is quite something!

Had a wonderful new year present - a long zero emotions cold therapy speak text explaining why she can’t date me because of her stuff. That’s two and a half years of supporting her, and she’d only just told her daughter (who was fine) and she’s basically run away when we got to the fun easy bit.

Well, my relationship is still in limbo with no contact. I’ve got through Christmas and new year (which were frankly grim) and now I’ve got to get through my birthday this weekend. Am distracting myself as best I can, but basically my person is hurting and I miss them horribly.

Finally some good news about Cash. His heart function was much improved. Blood tests also much better. Looks like he had myocarditis which has resolved. He’s still got some changes to the muscle so he needs another scan in six months, but it’s so much more positive than it was. So relieved.

Cash has gone for a heart scan today to see the progression of the disease. Not particularly looking forward to the results

It would be really nice if at some point everything stopped tasting like cardboard and the big lump in my throat that makes eating seem impossible went away soon. 😢

Life is hard now. Going through a pause in a long term relationship which may be temporary but could quite well be forever. It’s nothing to do with me and I’m absolutely heartbroken.
