    Partner officially diagnosed with ADHD, and a treatment plan now in place. I’m so proud of him!

    We got back to Brunswick, had a couple of Doppel Ename from Mokum, and then got some beer from Blackhearts and Sparrows. It’s been a lovely birthday.

    Thank you all so much for your birthday wishes and good vibes!! I don’t know where I would be without you all! 💜💜💜

    Got a new phone and now I’ve been locked out of my banking app in trying to set it up 🤦🏼‍♀️ Will have to sort it out tomorrow. I’m kind of annoyed.

    It took me nearly a month after getting my psych to fill out uni support forms (which she did within 24 hours of asking) to actually submit them to the uni out of paralysis/shame/anxiety/whatever - I did it this morning and then got a response from the subject coordinator eerily quickly… was out doing fieldwork and told myself I wouldn’t read it till I got home because I was fully expecting a “no”.

    Turns out I got 10 days extension no questions asked. Fucking A. Sat with so much anxiety and avoidance for nothing.

    Gonna celebrate by treating myself to an afternoon and evening of yet more PHM. Good good good. Thank!

    Just saw first comedy show if the season. So so good. Saw: He Huang (absolute best of the night), Nazeem Hussein, Dave Hughes, and an Australian/African girl who’s name I sadly forgot who was second best for me - has her own show and is going to be on taskmaster this season. It was a work social club thing and I almost bailed but I’m so glad it didn’t. Buzzing 😊

    I have just submitted my first rental application, which was slightly terrifying. It is a lot more involved than the last time I was looking for a private rental (over 20 years ago!)

    Hopefully they haven’t just rented it to someone else, the landlord falls in love with Mr Woof and Miss Meow when they see the pictures, the property will be just as I imagine it in real life and I won’t have to look at any others. Unlikely, but I can hope!

    I’ve been falling asleep to hour+ long videos on space, by Astrum Extra, so I don’t know why I had a nightmare about

    tw blood

    Living alone and finding blood everywhere in my house, running to the neighbours for help, then waking up to find blood everywhere in my house, running to the neighbours for help, then waking up to find blood everywhere in my house, then running to the neighbours for help… And so on. It was a good 15-20 loops before I woke up at 3am.

    The cat came and cuddled me so I fell back asleep and was fine. I’m not upset, just tripped out lol.

    Second ADHD assessment appointment for my partner today, so another trip across the city. Gonna treat myself with a cafe coffee, because it’s my birthday 😂

    My beautiful friend came over yesterday, and made a delicious soup, healing for the mind, body, and soul. I feel so happy to have spent the day with them. They got to meet Mickey, we took a walk, it was great! They gave me their guitar, so I’ve been practicing last night - gonna practice more this afternoon when I return. I do wish I had slightly longer, thinner fingers so I stop flattening the other strings when practicing chords, but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it with practice.

    Anyone looking for ideas for carpet?

    here's an idea for you!

    Just think, someone had to make that carpet, someone else had to decide to stock it to sell, and someone else had to buy it for this to happen. So many people you have to wonder “what were they thinking?!”

    Thanks for the birthday wishes yesterday everyone. It feels like I got a bigger response here from people I haven’t met in person compared to what I ever got from people I know on Facebook

      They are so cute. It’s so nice to have wildlife around! Is it possible he lost part of his tail? The ones I’ve seen have a tail that narrow to a thinner point. Unless this is a different species. It’s amazing how tiny some of them are.

        i do think this gecko has lost a bit of his tail, it’s too stubby , a lot of predatory birds around here so that’s probably how he lost it

        it was such a lovely surprise to see them both 🙂

      Love these little dudes even though it’s a bit less nice when they’re inside the house and leave their poo around (but still so helpful otherwise)

    Went to the gym at lunchtime today. It’s 2 doors down, then got some sushi as a treat.

    I usually just wander around aimlessly on lunch breaks so I’m glad I’m getting my workout without having to wake up at 5am or get home late.

    Aaaand Trump goes back on the tariffs, and nobody is surprised because the country is run by toddlers basically. Stock markets are back up. Wonder which of his friends made a pretty penny by buying during the low and selling for an overnight 5-9% profit

      It’s exhausting to be honest, it’s generating so much news and tension over several industries leaving them with a bleak future ahead.

      Been seeing talk of insider trading. Think that’s got any truth to it?

      I’m surprised they even happened. I thought they’d be the sorry of things he talks about forever and never actually does. But I guess this is like the Muslim ban; do it, revoke it, blame other people, and talk about it without ever implementing it again

        Almost feels like he did it purely to be able to boast to the American public that he (allegedly) had world leaders kissing his ass at a recent dinner due to these tariffs.

        In other words - it’s all just a fucking show leading up to an ever more disgusting version of politics from which there feels like there is no going back…

      I’m waiting for the announcement of 1 millionth percent tariff on China, and for MAGA voters to keep insisting Trump knows exactly what he’s doing and America is now great again. I want to laugh, but am so sad for the Americans who didn’t want this. Another day in the American clown show.

        there was a notice on my payment page from aliexpress about tariffs.

        Chinese people expect many Americans to direct their anger at them and they are right, they just don’t understand that trump lied and lied and lied
