You know what is really difficult for neurodivergent parents? Doing housework while trying to keep the neurospicy toddler occupied.

Think we're rocking it today @thefluffybat.bsky.social my darling! (We'll ignore the toddler meltdown in town this morning...)

Think I'm getting a little too much into character (if that's possible!) for my ranger, Landolf!

Working out combat strategies, maneuvers, favors we may need to call in, and politics we may need to do to support out direction forward.

Hi! Yes…I’m a tiny tug boat trying to push the ship against the current and away from their inevitable course towards use…

I’m on the spectrum of ethically/legally/environmentally/theologically I can’t use any AI tool; even if it enables some wider inclusion and accessibility.

You know what? Aside from being low key exhausted all week…

It’s been a good week. Recording for DnD. Streamed. Led a days training. Great PDR meeting. Started to work on myself a little and started looking into therapy.

A good week.

Us to toddler in the car this morning: “Are you cute?”

After a small pause, they go:

“Not particularly”

It makes me think about what comes next…

Hades 3: Where we journey into different pantheons? One where the Old Gods face each form of the end times…

We’re hoping it’s a 24hr thing…or at most 48 hour! We’ll see what the morrow brings!

And if it is an adult illness…I have a supply of meds and soup to last a few weeks 😅

Child has had a temperature all day.

So a quiet weekend for us then. Grabbed snacks and meds.

Didn’t grab yoghurts though. Child dipped their bat wings into it by accident this morning.

I didn’t realise for ages that there was a minigame for them! Mainly because I just took Frinos with me every night!

(Still missing two hidden aspects of Noctural Arms…BUT I CAN CUSTOMISE THE FAMILIARS!!)

Yeah no the child has a low fever.

Being very cuddly and hot, but doesn’t want to be alone, so tightens cuddle.

All the while he said “Can you message (Child’s name) parent? Say i’m sorry I can’t go to their birthday tomorrow.”

Bless himmmmmm

In the light of disappointing news from the Church of England, mischief anyone?

LLF, PLF…WTF?

On Wednesday, the House of Bishops scuppered the hopes nurtured by many of us within the Church of England, that we will be able to hold services blessing the marriages of same-sex couples.Whilst w…

Ooooo Ghost and Greta van Fleet! Both are on my go-to playlist for early morning trips to collect family from airports, or relaxing from being over-stimmed on work retreats!

Tim Annan @timcannan.bsky.social · 8d

Define your music taste with 8 artists! Difficult, I listen to so many artists, but I tried to focus on some true 'no skips' favourites:

- Ashnikko
- Ghost
- Rave the Reqviem
- The Amazing Devil
- Heilung
- Bellowhead
- Nomy
- Florence and the Machine

Update:
Child has raised temperature and was in bed asleep before 8pm. And I know the temperature is a things as he’s asleep on me.

They are 100% sick. Bless.

Tim Annan @timcannan.bsky.social · 8d

Nothing says "Plans change" like getting a phonecall asking to get your child from nursery because of a sickness bug!

More so when you arrive and workers are leaving because they are coming down with the sickness as well!

Went to the Primary School open morning today.

The staff were slightly shocked at my intense questioning around SEN support and inclusion policies…but in a good way!

Tim Annan @timcannan.bsky.social · 8d

The thing I love about our nursery is first sign of anything that might be a sickness or anything we’re called and asked to take the child home; with really good wellness policies! (IE: 48 hours of no sickness, 24 hours after last dose of meds and you’re allowed back…which isn’t the norm!)

Tim Annan @timcannan.bsky.social · 8d

Appreciate that!! 💜

They seem okay so far. It was very much more the “Let’s be cautious” than everything else, which I’m glad they think that way!!

The *joys* of small children 😅
