I’ve just been given a date for the surgery I’ve been waiting on for 6 years… So that’s nice. Probably shouldn’t get my hopes up until I’m actually in theatre, as they have a habit of changing/cancelling

I taught my friend how to poach an egg yesterday. It was over the phone and experiencing her pride at her achievement was utterly joyful. Eggs rock!

Recently reconnected with a few old friends after experiencing a fairly severe personal/mental health crisis and honestly, any conversation, shared inside joke, or anything that reminds me they’re there and we know each other just warms my heart so much.

I started a new job and work with some lovely people.  I made a friend to laugh with. I caught up with friends this week. I love my husband and we've been laughing so much together recently.  Money is tight and the world is a mess but life is good.

I'm not sure good mood is quite right, but, I took today off work to sort out shit after my recent move (living on my own for the first time ever - lived with my ex for over 12 years though). I've got a lot done, went for a walk, and I've got a decent deal on a decent vacuum cleaner. I've still got a lot to do, but, I've got some satisfaction along with still feeling a bit overwhelmed at what still needs to be done.

You eat an elephant a bite at a time! I've been lucky enough to live on my own for the past 12 years and I love it. I have things *exactly* as I like them and I don't need to compromise on anything - thermostat, lighting, decor/photos/pictures, furniture layout, fridge stacking... The stuff that still has to be done, a lot of it you can do at your own pace. There's nobody to give a snarky opinion if some things stay in boxes for a bit or if you have Weetabix for supper a few nights because it's easier. You only have your own mess to pick up, dishes to wash, clothes to launder. Things stay put where you leave them; food remains uneaten. Good luck.

I got a bread machine. Made my 4th loaf today (white with dried cranberries). I've also been setting it on a delay so it just finishes in time for breakfast. Waking up to the house smelling of fresh bread is pretty peak.

I rode to the park with my daughter and didn't have a panic attack, which is pretty good. Even better than that I've realised that the daughter in question is becoming a really rounded and mature little girl (for a 7 year old).

I told it my PC model, what OS and App I was using (so in my case Linux Mint and Emulation Station) and that I knew it wasn’t a bios issue as my other GameCube games worked and it gave me a full walkthrough (downloading Dolphin and setting ES to use that) including the teminal install commands as well as the settings to change in Dolphin …. Worked first time

I finally got a job after 9 years and thanks to this me and my husband are going on our honeymoon soon to a caravan for a few days with the money we have saved up. Only a cleaning job but everyday im tired but so happy knowing i have nice things i can buy and help with now that i have my own money. Also i got diagnosed with MS last year 5 days after our wedding.. was scared everyday and i had to go for a scan on my head again and spine to see if its spread. Got my results back and it has not spread or grown and im not gonna lie ive been smiling everyday since i got the news.
