Fred update: I have howled at various points in time this morning - from about 6am
I am having an existential crisis
What is cat?
Why is Fred?
How is bowl of food half eaten?
Why does human not respond?
Exhausted human ponders existentialism and why does my lovely chummer torture me today?

Sending you love from me and Fred
Send love to Fred - my brave chummer is currently cleaning up all the lube all over him - he needed a bit of help today and it was enema time …
He’s currently embarrassed and trying to clean up and regain some dignity
Trying to decide if we both get some fish and chips as rewards

Today my mad head-cold (walked 6.5 miles in the damp yesterday) is being made 1000x more camp
It will go - simply sneezing and sniffing my way through the day
Did this cold get worse with the walking - hell yes! Should I know better at 56? Possibly! Will I do things like this again? Most likely!

I want to love myself as much as this chummer loves me
Fred love for the win and the best help he’s got for the CPTSD exhaustion and sense of zero self worth today
His idyll is to curl up asleep besides me

Happy New Year from me and Fred
This wee chummer epitomises Hope - he’s made it through a whole year - and he’s currently thriving - with an appetite for food (and scritches) and love for being here
Remember Hope is not fragile like a flower - Hope is fragile like an unexploded ordnance …

So looking forward to Tuesday - nothing like seeing your work on a big screen
It’s a 4K version - so I’ll look great!
we didn’t get a to edit names - so there’s three of us with our old names on show - so a reminder - my name is Dr J and if you use anything else … you’re not someone I’ll talk to

Happy second anniversary my liege!!! You are the most resilient determined and patient wee chummer - and we made it through year two together!!
There is nothing like falling asleep and waking up with an entity who has decided the safest most preferred place in their world is besides you.

For pride month - the reposting of writing it did during lockdown - about why we have pride - why there aren’t more “like me” around - I joke about passing the “half life” or “LD50” of being this queer non-binary and being a child of the 70’s - it’s not such a joke sometimes

Currently off work while dealing with a CPTSD flare up - panic attacks are not fun - and having them is not weakness or a failure - it’s existing in a world of triggers

Thought this was a great take on the current situation
Then I read the date - 2023!!!
The sustained pressure - it’s real
In other news - the day is sunny, I have good coffee, good music and a good book - and Fred is sleeping in a sunbeam - there are still good things in the world

Some of us are in roles and jobs where we cannot speak out publicly
Don’t assume you don’t have my support and don’t assume I don’t see the work my friends are putting in for all oppressed people

Fred update: I am eating four or more packets of food a day - this means I need to poo
I am still having some trouble with poo - the human is so understanding (and so tired!) when I howled at 5am and did a substantial amount of poo on the bathroom floor

I could leave - and I have accounts on the alternatives
I stay on Facebook as that’s where my older friends and my work friends (and some family) are
I stay on Instagram as that’s where my performers are - especially the young trans/gender diverse queers

2024 wrapped:
1) Coping Admirably badge given to me after not the worst scan that week - my future features more scans - and they are all to confirm the not-cancers are being well behaved - I’m lucky that scares are just scares and big up the NHS for ensuring I keep around

Fred update: keeping Fred on the right path is like piloting a spaceship at the moment : I shall explain
He was a bit off food last night but would eat salmon with me - no worries
During the night he had a little vom (in the middle of the only mat I use) and was a bit quiet in the morning
