However, I need to do tube care bc I can feel my J-tube site leaking and saturating the gauze and it's burning my skin ((:

I want a nap 😴

I redid this little section of my walls 🙂‍↕️

#DoctorWho #Whovian #Thassie #Thirteen #Yaz #Thasmin #ThirteenthDoctor #TwelfthDoctor #FifteenthDoctor #EleventhDoctor #TheDoctor #TARDIS

A corner of a bedroom with a bed in the corner. There are a handful of plushies at the head of the bed. On the wall are several Doctor Who posters. And a large minerals poster.

That ADHD vibe when you’re part way through a series and instead of starting the next book your brain goes, “Wait!! What if we start a *different* book?!”

The series I’m reading is good!! I want to read it!! Alas, my brain thinks starting *another* book is The Answer 🧠

Is there a reason the audiobook is unavailable in the US? Does it have a different release date? I have checked Libby, LibroFM, Audible, and Spotify and none of them have the audiobook ): Thanks!

I’m a little frustrated because I’m finally in the right headspace to clean my room and my body is saying No Thank You /:

My BP decided to go woosh 📉 (75/47) while I was standing to get Kit’s morning meds… I managed to safely set up fluids and I’m now horizontal once more ❤️‍🩹

Please be proud of me. It's almost 8pm and I made sleepy time tea (chamomile + mint + honey) instead of full-strength English breakfast tea 🫖

Last week I accidentally made a giant mug of English breakfast tea at 9pm... and proceeded to drink the entire thing :P

Thank you! The zoo was a lot of fun. My body is still throwing a fit ( #NEISVoid), but it was a very nice visit!

Me: *doing bad*

Dad: do you wanna go to the zoo?

My mental health has taken a nosedive due to a recent medical procedure that brought about PTSD flashbacks and trauma-responses.

Anyway, I’ll be at the zoo if you need me 👋🏻
