If you want to know where my mental state is at this week... I just got on a train to meet up with a friend in Felixstowe... An hour early. Oops. #stressed 😳😳 At least the sun is out and Felixstowe is pretty.

I think this week will be much improved by binge watching the whole of Rivals again, to cheer myself up. Being on Mounjaro, a big fat cake doesn't do the trick any more... #stressed #cortisol.

I've spent all weekend, and will probably spend all next week, when I'm on official annual leave from the office job, writing. Apart from the time I spend at the gym (yay) pool (yay) optician (er..OK) dentist (OK) and hygienist (eek). I do have ONE fun lunch date booked in, though. 😀

My relentlessly crap sleep led me to try and research midlife sleep, restless legs and hormonal fluctuations. I spoke to experts and looked at research but I'm not sure if I'm any the wiser... How are you sleeping? 😴

Do I think that generative AI will ever be able to create music? Or any other art, for that matter? Well, I’m sure it will have a damn good try. But can it convey coming to terms with your own death..without using words? Nah. Here's my take on sad songs. chicksngiggles.substack.com/p/the-great-...
