I actually can't remember what the first live concert I ever went to was. It's been so long since I went to a concert at all sometimes I'm surprised when I remember of them from years ago. And they all kind of blend into one. I think it MIGHT have been Nick Cave at Nottingham Theatre Royal

Also it turns out I've been premenstrual this week. Which probably hasn't helped.

My cat died overnight. We never called the vets in the end, and I don't know if that was the wrong thing to do, but she never seemed like she was suffering, or distressed. I don't know if she didn't know at that point or was just chill about it, but everything just sort of - wound down.

My cat is hanging in there but definitely getting weaker. My dad wasn't sure she'd last through the weekend, but so far she's still here. It doesn't seem like she's got long left no matter what we do, but I think we're definitely gonna have to call the vet tomorrow and talk about options

People on the internet are pretty sure the Mother Superior said SEVERAL years ago...which makes things a little better I guess
January 2, 2026 at 12:36 AM
The Sound of Music was on today (possibly mum's favourite film), and I realised that the Mother Superior said Captain Von Trapp's wife died 7 years earlier, but he has one kid who's "nearly 7" and another one who's 5. Whole house in confusion.

A day after we had to take the dog to emergency vets because he ate some chocolate someone left out while we were having Xmas dinner, I come out of the Boxing Day dinner, look around just in case there are any empty wrappers about, and see the Toblerone my dad got from my sister's house just lying

Back from the emergency vets, they induced vomiting and all seems good so they sent him home. So the mini-crisis seems to be over
December 25, 2025 at 7:25 PM
Well, the cat seems a bit better today, but now the 5kg dog has eaten half a terry's chocolate orange while we were having christmas dinner. Mum's is googling emergency vets 🙃

All my Christmas Tasks are now done, but on an extremely sad note it seems like my cat might be dying. She's 19 and a half so it's not really a shock, but she still seemed like she did at 5 or 6 just a couple of years ago. She's gone on a distinct downturn in the last few months - matted fur, she

I have done all my Christmas shopping, I've washed my hair, and I've watched The Long Kiss Goodnight. There's wrestling on tomorrow night that might throw me off, but so far everything's on track <3

Not a Christmas goes by that I don't think of Gold, Frankenstein and Grrr
December 22, 2025 at 6:49 PM
I remember that I haven't got the cat and dog anything, so Christmas shopping is not quite done /o\ But I can probably just get them something when I nip out for wrapping paper
December 16, 2025 at 6:46 PM
My last bit of Christmas shopping came through the post so besides my preferred christmas wrapping, I am done \o/

I have agreed to meet the tumblr person and pay them for my ticket at the gates. So. I'm going. Hurray!
December 14, 2025 at 9:09 PM
New update: my phone is reactivated, and someone on tumblr who's also going to the event on Wednesday has offered to get my ticket and then meet me at the door to scan me in. So we might be back on?
December 14, 2025 at 8:22 PM
So it turns out I can't go to the event, because to get tickets you either need a smartphone or photo ID to pick them up in person, and I have neither. Which sucks.
December 14, 2025 at 4:23 PM
They are not cool with it. But I can call tomorrow, before 8pm. So that's something.
December 13, 2025 at 10:24 PM
Internet forum answers suggest my phone is in hibernation because I've not used it recently. I must call EE to fix this. If it hasn't already been so long it's lost forever. We will find out if they're good with that at 10.30pm on a Saturday night
December 13, 2025 at 10:21 PM
My nephew let me try to use his phone number, which might be a nightmare anyway since they're saying 'your phone is your ticket'. When I put in the authentication code (3 times) there was an error and it couldn't be completed. dagfdgdsf
December 13, 2025 at 10:13 PM
My phone's not been receiving texts for a while now and I wasn't sure what I could do about it - I hardly ever use it so it didn't seem like a massive issue. When I tried to call the house phone in case I needed to 'reactivate' it it said I didn't have enough credit. I didn't have any money, so I

The other thing I realised is that I have no idea who sings the version of 'Winter Wonderland' I think of in my head. Every version sounds wrong. Google says the most popular version is by an orchestra and the eurythmics or something. A woman sings it. Mum doesn't know either. It's a mystery
December 13, 2025 at 4:53 PM
All of my seasonal playlists suffer from being a list I write down rather than an actual playlist, but winter's more than any of them just due to not being able to shuffle it. Listening to three bleak ones all in a row is a lot.
December 13, 2025 at 4:47 PM
I did get pretty much all my Christmas shopping done yesterday though, barring one thing I'm planning to order online and some wrapping paper
