Cat-Astrophic

March 2022, a message popped up in the WhatsApp group for the people that live in my building, requesting this… “Hello’ totally random question … but does anyone know anyone who would want to adopt a cat? I’ve old and very loving and calm, it’s my sisters but she can’t have pets where she is […]

Mentally Crippled

I had a full shift at one of my new jobs. I can’t pretend it went well, I can’t say I enjoyed it, I knew that I didn’t want the job. I can’t say its because my heart wasn’t in it because I need my heart to be in it at this point. I have […]

Letter to No one

Dear No one, It’s me again, spouting words that you will never hear. Though even if I did tell you, I know you wouldn’t listen. I am in that place again. That place you don’t want to know about or visit. Though I can’t blame you for the latter really. I wouldn’t choose this as […]

Unprepared

It could be the lack of furniture. It could be the cardboard box I am still using as a table as the table I bought has dodgy legs and I need to glue them in place. (Work in progress) It could be that since I have moved I haven’t made any attempt to reconnect with […]

Collapse

I can count to a million in a matter of seconds, the clock on the wall is like a cartoon where the hands race around and around at warp speed, nothing is processing properly and I can’t focus or make a decision. Thing is, now it’s too late to do anything but carry on as […]

Meet My Nemesis

Hello, meet my nemesis. He is called Brian, he is the other me. Wave to the nice people Brian… … Well, okay… he isn’t playing right now, but that’s okay because usually when he is it means I am not doing so well. It means that my mental health has taken a nose dive and […]

Small World

There is only one thing in my opinion that hurts above all else. I can’t speak for men being kicked in the balls. Due to my lack of male anatomy. I can’t speak for those who have given birth, due to my lack of experience. But I do know what hurts more than that combined […]

Impty Feelings

So six years ago I went on a trip to the USA to meet and visit a friend who is the longest running relationship I have. And also the best. Shit went down. Long story short I missed my flight back to England, so I ended up staying a few extra months. No big deal […]

Speed Up Time…

I can feel the burn out coming, I only have five days left. I wonder if this time I bit of more than my chops could chew.  I don’t often stay with the parental unit for this length of time. And the monsters are in school so it’s not like I get to see them […]
