Laundry
I am once again at the point where my washing fits into the two laundry bags, and wondering whether this time, I will stay functional long enough to get past that point (I have not yet in, um, however long it is since I was well enough to LARP at Empire and went to Germany camping for a few days.)
Setting an alarm for every single thing is perhaps ( Read more... ) -
It's something?
I have income! It's £74 a week.
(Rent is slightly more than that.) This entry was originally posted at https://supermouse.dreamwidth.org/86846.html. There are

It looks like summer!
There used to be magpies living around this house and garden and now suddenly there aren't. Zero magie presence. Sexy Woodpigeon is still loud and proud, and the swifts? Swallows? House martens? are shrieking away, although in very small numbers.
The fuchsia is in full flower, if about half the usual growth, and has a few bees, as does the new and ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I'm supposed to be getting my finances All Sorted Out and that's failing to happen, but I should eventually get there.
The garden is full of frost damage - that mild/frost combo did an absolute number on a lot of plants. The very grey, cool weather means plants don't grow, so the mix of flowers is mildly bizarre. Insects are very, very thin on the ( Read more... ) -
Birds, plants, writing and Actually Going Outside
So, for the past several years, I have been Outside barely at all, and by barely I mean literally once or twice a year, and by Outside, I mean past the confines of the garden. My main loss with lockdown was other people going Outside and posting about it. Nott'm police posting pictures of empty places was my jam last summer.
Anyway, that's just to ( Read more... ) -
Happy Bank Holiday Weekend - The State of the Garden
I'm up, showered and dressed in clean clothes, it's fantastic.
I made myself a list of things I could go and do a while back, but actually I'll be writing entirely unpublishable stories because that's what I do, because it's fun and absorbing. There's a real freedom in writing something you know for certain will never see the light of day, that is ( Read more... ) -
I did The Thing!
Two things! I cancelled my Sky broadband subscription, which was less of a nightmare than I thought. The biggest hurdle was having thrown everything to do with that account in a black bin bag along with all the other papers I was slowly sorting through.
Then I applied for non-means-tested ESA on account of being really disabled. To give you an idea ( Read more... ) -
My arm hurts AGAIN! :D
Astra Zeneca.
So tired. So worth it. Not looking forward to tomorrow but very much looking forward to two weeks from now. This entry was originally posted at https://supermouse.dreamwidth.org/85464.html. There are

You're all lovely.
I have a full inbox I've read and been glad to read, that's really sweet. I will get to individual replies. Hugs to those going through/remembering similar situations. Hugs to everyone.
My PIP application is underway now I've had help with the form from my very patient and kind sibling, and I really needed it too. PIP is a disabilty benefit that is ( Read more... ) -
To nobody's surprise, dealing with Pol's death is pretty awful
So, I managed to get Pol repatriated as per his parents' wishes and with the okay of Kira and Random before I finalised things. It was done, the funeral was in hand, I could relax.
And then my health collapsed (not surprisingly) and I've had an ME/CFS relapse and something like and probably actually a nervous breakdown, managing, with difficulty, to ( Read more... )
