Boy was up all night. 12, so manageable, but a bit delirious at 4am. So I am self medicating with kinder Bueno gut spread from Aldi and coffee. I am going to watch 16 candles and just lay on the sofa today.

I remember hearing Optimo play this and it made my night.
Just blocked someone for a) saying McCartney’s Temporary Secretary is the worst song ever recorded and b) Delivering this information with a “C’mon, we all know it” false confidence.

Just saw a banner headline on Sky news that Reform has received their highest donation from a living person. Does that mean a dead person has donated more?
Did Doris Stokes handle the transaction?
"Is there a Cresus among us? Nigel is trying to reach you"

Oh boo hoo. People got out with rash shots... ah, England get to 325 IN A DAY. There were times when we barely hit 325 in a series against Australia.

Going to be really candid here. I am having the kind of week, month, year at work where if I was not on sertraline, I genuinely don't know what kind of mess I would currently be in.
Knowing I needed help, getting help and having that help managed with chemicals saved me. It could help you.
