Wahey, it's late, it's Saturday night!

Why are you still up? Off out for a fight? Doing the night shift?

Come on in for a chat.

What always cheers you up when you think about it?

  1. Felt like shit all day. I’m only 22, but I’ve never felt so physically weak or scared for my health. I don’t want to get into specifics, but I think it’s bad. I daren’t go to the doctor’s because what if they confirm my worst fears – or if it’s worse still? The longer I avoid them though, the worse it’ll get. I didn’t feel too bad yesterday, but my health has been gradually deteriorating the last few weeks/months. So I might be better tomorrow (hopefully), but I still won’t be back to a normal, healthy state. It’s ruining my mood and I’m fearing the worst. Anyway, how was your Saturday?

  2. Was going to go to bed an hour ago, but then the Iranian attack began. Now I can’t stop watching BBC news. Fingers crossed there’s no escalation.

    So that question is timed rather well lol. What always cheers me up is thinking back to living in Hong Kong 82-84, when my dad who was in the Navy got deployed there (HMS Tamar). The experience was amazing, I was literally wide eyed in amazement with what I saw. The experience I’ll never forget-the food was AMAZING as well, real ethnic Hong Kong food. Night time was absolutely amazing as well.

    I still to this day remember walking through the door of the apartment and still remember every single detail of what I saw for the first time. Was the greatest time for me as a kid. I miss it terribly, but I’m so thankful that I got to experience it.

  3. Definitely reaching burnout on the parenting front. Easter has been long, expensive and the kids have been a handful. Now topped off with MIL being admitted to hospital which adds another level of stress on top. Along with the thought of being back at work next week and having to do both my end of year and a lessons learned for project that went tits up at the end. 

    I’d like to run away to a cave right now.

  4. Currently watching Iran playing silly buggers on the news and hoping things don’t escalate.

    The monster asleep at the side of me, and the other monster asleep in the other room. 

    Scottish Highlands too. Loch Ness & Skye particularly but I’m thinking of trying to get to Orkney in September… 

    That will depend on a few things with this buying a house thing though. 

    A lot of the shizzle whizzing through my head at the moment is around how good it will be once I’m out of these 4 walls so I know it’s the right thing, and the right time. Been trying to work out how much I’m comfortable pushing my deposit up if needed. I dont know how people dare drain their accounts completely. 

    Anyway, no time to think about that until Monday. Swimming & then baking with the kids at my grandmas tomorrow. It should be fun. 

  6. I managed to hit a pole in a car park that was just the right height to [smash the rear light](https://imgur.com/a/GDkv8iB) on my car (that I’ve owned for a week). Had to spend a while panic-searching for a replacement light fitting. Money down the drain and I’ve had to drive around with clingfilm taped over the broken part of the light. Humbling.

    I am not sure how to describe today. Until 3pm, it was fine. I functioned like a proper Grown Up, I spent time with my brother, all the good stuff. After that, I have been – something. Detached, going through the motions, just doing what I am supposed to.

    Even all my meds aren’t pulling me back to myself. Maybe tomorrow.

  8. Enjoying a cold one and playing a lil poker to occupy the nogin enough so I don’t focus on the dreaded wèeeeeeeeeeeee noise in my ears.
