Genuinely becoming a bit nervous they might extend my contract at work and I’m just gonna have to go with it because I haven’t bothered to try find another job yet and I wanna keep getting paid.

A grey, rainy, Monday morning without caffeine because I have an Ultrasound appt. God gives his greatest challenges to his greatest warriors.

A pigeon sitting on its but like a human captioned “I ask for snuggles but all I get are struggles”.

I’m so deeply sick of this shit, how come my little business has to do more due diligence on sharing people’s private data than the fucking NHS!? You increasingly now have no confidence that you most private records aren’t being shared and sold with no protections at all.

Things that should be fucking illegal: 1. Fake grass. 2. SUVs. 3. Having your phone on loud speaker in public. 4. Foil balloons that take hundreds of years to breakdown. 5. Releasing helium balloons at a funeral. 6. Sneezing into your hands and carrying on as normal.

Woke up early, smashed 2 cans of Monster Ultra and I’m plowing my way through this list and suddenly got the impulse to clipper all my hair off for ease. Maybe 2 cans was a bit much.

A long to-do list of house chores and self-care things I’ve been ignoring for weeks because I’ve been ill

So like, we’ve been out on a date, and it was really nice and fun and you decided to come back to my place, and then I just show you my plant propagation setup.

I know the comment section is a rancid cess pit, but I’ve just read one particular one on a Reel and like, why are people having these arguments in the replies to a single comment on instagram? Do they not have hobbies? Why do people give a fuck this much about arguing with strangers about nothing??

Back to back meetings all day, piles of emails, people bitching about other work people to me. Now to respond to the 15 reels my mate sent me since 7am.

Deeply wanting to quit corporate work entirely and buy a little cabin in the middle of nowhere where I can faff with my plants and car, and mind my own business.
