    My sleep in was interrupted by my anti-sads regulating my circadian rhythm, sigh. But it’s my birthday so a wake and bake is in order methinks yolo

    I was actually born on a Friday, so it’s very satisfying when my birthday falls on it again - activates some small reward centre in my brain.

      Never mind it happens. My man is on BP pills for life and he’s fit. Sometimes it’s lifestyle. Sometimes it’s genetic. Sometimes it’s both. You can dm me if you wanna talk.

        I’ve been on BP pills for years now. It’s 100% genetic. It was high when I was unfit and barely improved after losing weight and getting fitter.

        I could have 3 coffees and have normal BP, and some days, it’s high because it wants to be.

          Wow. My husband lost about 20 kgs. Went from the highest dosage to now the lowest. He was having frequent migraines and now has none.

            I’ve never actually had any symptoms apart from the BP itself. I’m on a low dose and it’s working well.

            To be fair, my BP was on the low end of ‘high’.

            Interestingly my mum has low blood pressure and takes meds for it.

    Thank you for the birthday wishes! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :3

    Mickey has been treated like the Monarch he is, he is now sleeping in his Pondering Orb (I think).

    Apropos of nothing, but Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band slaps 🎉

    Edit:

    the pondering continues

    Oh, also I have a free birthday drink waiting for me at Inner North Brewery. I shall be attending tomorrow, if anyone would like to come along :) I should be there around 3:30-4pm :)

    I am starting to seriously look at buying a house, however my enthusiasm for the process is about on a par with going to the dentist. I wish I could just pick a house out of an online catalogue and skip all of the tedious looking/inspecting/negotiating bit.

      you have finished lots of things, you did your uni degrees 👍 So you can finish things

      everything else is not a continuation of this but are new tasks , often requiring new skills and different personal attributes

      also, change is not failure 👍

      you can do this 😊

    spoiler

    Cat was going to be taken last night or this morning but no foster place has been found yet. I agreed to give him the ringworm meds while the rescuer keeps looking. It puts off the difficult moment but drags out the guilt and uncertainty :(

    Edit: Now the crazy neighbour has seen him with me and asked if it’s my cat. He’s at risk now. And he won’t take his pills.

        It’s awful. I’m always having to do unpleasant things that scared little animals don’t understand in order to help them.
