Old year weighs on the new
Shoulders heavy
Spine stooped
Scored with misfires, fails, falls, and missed opportunities
Effort of will
Forgive the indulgence of a summary of my year
Straighten spine and focus on what was achieved

Polling basics is you don’t let your cohort self select like this. More appalling bullshit journalism laundering government bullshit form the BBC
Interesting thing to take away here.
BBC asked 5000 doctors to take part in a survey about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. Only 15% of them responded.
And what do you think the belief will be of that 15% who specifically wanted to respond to a study into overdiagnosis? 🤔

We don’t often think about pet consent. But particularly with anxious ones it’s important to. Stopping and holding a hand nearby gives anxious Amis a chance to ask for more or leave when she’s done.
And then less anxious Poppy gets involved!
