Delicate subject.
I have been working on healthier ways to communicate.

Trauma dumping is something I've definitely done.
This article is interesting and I think, helpful.

It also advises you how to handle when you've been trauma dumped on (with compassion)

I made the mistake of watching a little news this evening.
Neoliberalism is ramping up nicely eh?

Event went well.
I met some amazing people.
I can't wait to get in touch with them to see if we can work together!

I'm floored with fatigue since I got home, but I'm delighted I went.

Oh, and happy International Volunteers Day!

Oh, and I paid £9.02 for two hot drinks at a café yesterday.
I'm still in shock.

I have had a breakthrough with my hypnotherapy.
A lightbulb moment.
I can't wait to tell my hypnotherapist my thoughts.

Lucky him.

I just woke up from a dream.
James, my cat was helping me nurse a poorly Emma Thompson back to health.
He just stood there looking adorable, which is everything, right?

Good news is like a warm hug, isn't it?
I am so happy this grey, rainy afternoon.

No Spotify wrapped because Spotify sucks.

I use Qobuz now.

I wrote this Substack about adopting old, unwanted dogs. In part to get someone to adopt the one in this preview image.

Not just for Christmas
This month I was going to share an old Christmas story I wrote but instead I got sad about rescue dogs, so I’m doing something else.

Full strike due to go ahead in Waltham Forest.
Affecting all areas, including road maintenance.

You could pay your staff a decent wage, FCC Environment?
Why won't you?

Black Friday has a somewhat different meaning in Hookland and it certainly isn’t a festival of consumerism …

I bought some terrible Christmas decorations at my local charity shop this morning.
Christmas is about displaying terrible Christmas decorations and I needed cheering up.

Behold my golden Santy.

I've been attending hypnotherapy sessions (on and off) for over a year.
I'm now calmer, more confident and content as a result of hypnotherapy.
I no longer drink alcohol (15 months sober)
I have challenges, but everyday is a chance to start again.
Self-compassion is part of my makeup now.

I'm off kilter today.
Blindsided by a weird allergic reaction last night.
My insides feel like they've been glued together.
I'm not human.
I'm a stuffed toy.

I spent a lot of money on my cat at the vet today.
He just tried to bite me as I very gently tried to move him from my foot so I could get up to go to the bathroom.
I will continue to love him wildly.

I don't make the rules.

Cats do.

Listen with headphones for the full gorgeous effect of the wind in the fir trees in this remote place.
