Happy solstice!! 🌻

Yeah I now wake up every day between 5:30 and 6:30 pretty naturally. I reckon as long as you get up and do some basic wake up thing you can then go back to bed and not wreck the habit. I do that on weekends.

Too damn early crew checking in 👊🏻

Yep. Apparently that’s not enough!

So I reported a profile on Facebook because it was using my name and my profile picture (and different personal details ripped from someone with my name but a higher public profile). I just got an email to say it’s been reviewed and doesn’t go against their guidelines.

The profile picture is literally me. From my old website. And it’s my name. But that’s not an issue?! WTAF?! Can I do anything about this?

Oh I 100% understand (both about the research-as-coping-mechanism) and fear around discussions. You can only try (and understand it might take a few goes)

Sounds like you are already doing all the right things but there’s a book called ‘letting go’ by Charlie Corke that talks about death planning. Read it a while back but I remember it had some really good practical advice and was not too heavy to read.

Edit. And hugs. This is tough stuff

Are they the ones you sometimes get in hotels? I thought they were basically instant coffee. Ok in a pinch but not my thing.

Nah. I’m taking my ~bat and ball~ book and glass of water and going to bed. Big busy cold week coming up I might as well get some rest in. Night all.

I napped too hard and now I am feeling yuck and discombobulated.

Cool. Ta.

Any specific power bank brand you like? I’ve got a big chunky anker that can power my laptop but I want to grab something smaller as a phone backup day to day.

Nice advice about the go-bag too.

Just faced it. I put on soothing podcasts/audiobooks and just dozed. Kept reminding myself it was just the inflammation and it would get better.

Yeah I had nightmares, anxiety it was terrible from COVID.

Phone wallet keys, notebook, pens, water bottle, mask, earbuds, sunnies (I live in hope)

Edit: and a shopping bag that rolls up small

Knock off oodie update. Washed it. Gave it two spins and popped it on the rack in front of the heater yesterday. No need to spin dry - it’s basically dry this morning. The cuffs are a bit damp but I’m just gonna roll them.

This has been your PSA from snuggled land …

It’s gonna be a stunning day out there. Can’t wait for that sun

My Front loader has managed it before I think - I usually give it two spins too to get the extra water out of it

yeah that’s what I was thinking

Today was going to be the day I washed my oodie. But no. Today is for wearing oodies. Also - can you get away with tumble drying a (cheap rip-off) oodie? I’m not worried so much about losing fluffyness, more that I will set the laundromat on fire from the hot synthetic fabric…
