Following on from a recent post, & despite some light relief this week I continue to feel lower than I’ve ever been. Seems a tally chart doesn’t fix everything. I mean I didn’t have a shower yesterday soooo I guess that could be the culprit. Thought I could get away with having two today, didn’t…

Survival Strategy 1.0
Right you might have noticed I’ve been a bit angry. You might be too. I’ve genuinely questioned how to go on & function in this new reality but I’ve had my pity party, now we strategize. Since my white fragility got smashed to smithereens & I’m now wide awake to the world we actually inhabit,…
We are not okay.
I’m not okay. You are not okay. We are not okay. None of us are okay. This time in history is like no other & we are ALL affected in a myriad of ways. However one thing is for certain; if you haven’t been massively awoken by the Black Lives Matter Movement then you might…
Breakdown: Day 54 – 86
Hey. Its been awhile crocodile since I last posted. Things are pretty crazy right now. The world is up in arms protesting globally for racial equality whilst we watch a race war unfold in America as a brutal police force, backed by military, authorised by their despicable president Donald Trump, disperse peaceful protest, antagonize &…
(Some) men are disgusting: Day 48-53
WARNING THIS POST CONTAINS EXPLICIT MATERIAL THAT SOME READERS, MYSELF INCLUDED, MIGHT FIND OFFENSIVE. Day 48 of self isolation & it’s getting a bit old. Plus I’ve had an itchy ear (I know, what a weird symptom) for 3 or 4 days now & it kept me up most of the previous night. Somethings got…
Binned date: Day 42-47
Despite posting a lot of late, I am still outrageously behind on this diary so rest assured I am hanging my unwashed head in shame. BUT the good news is I’ve been busy with good shiz, happy shiz, even PROUD shiz. It’s exciting so I’ll whizz through the practicalities of the week then I’ll hit…
What a difference half a day makes…
Wow. I posted that last article (A Smile a day…) only 9 hours ago, & I’ve already had a massive change of heart. PEOPLE ARE WONDERFUL! I posted it at 6am, went to bed, had a little nap (my sleeping habits are all over the place at the moment) & woke up a few hours…
A Smile a Day…
>>>>>> FOR A POSITIVITY UPDATE 9 HOURS LATER CLICK HERE<<<<<< Today was an unexpectedly emotional day. I know, call me crazy but I was not expecting the 75th anniversary of millions of people giving up their lives for our freedom to stir up any emotion… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Captain Tom Moore montages, the veterans, the spitfires,…
Tedium: Day 37-41
The sun is ablaze once more & I tuck into some Tesco goodies on the balcony of dreams. My birthday has reawakened some long dormant junk food cravings so its pizza & rocky road for breakfast. I also might be comfort eating as a result of a heinous act the night before when I was…
Mr Virtuals: Day 35 – 36
Something weird has happened. I appear to be getting used to the situation. What is usually a big manic event has now turned banal as this weeks big shop fails to ignite hysteria. I am shocked & appalled. Whilst its nice to be mania free I do not want to become de-sensitized to the situation….
Comedown: Day 29-34
Quiteish week, still in the throes of birthday comedown. Probably didn’t mention it previously but it was my birthday last week! Honestly I loved it so much I’ve spent many a happy moment dwelling on it since & even created a Lockdown Birthday Guide 101 to aid & abet Taureans with upcoming celebrations. Whether hour…
A meme a day… : Day 13
Too many memes, too many many memes…. Right, I’ll be blowed I’ve only actually gone & had what at least felt like a productive day. I can’t be entirely sure of quality of output but words were indeed written, seemingly into sentences. Furthermore I observed the recognised minimum standards of hygiene by brushing teeth AND…
Garage girl: Day 10-12
Its unlikely anyone has noticed my absence this past weekend but if so please accept my apologies. I gave myself the day off only for it to become 2 without even noticing in all honesty. Days bear little resemblance to the norm & since upgrading my neck crick to pinched nerve status I’ve been sleeping…
T.E.S.C.O : Day 9
Supa dupa late with this post. Yesterday was manic. Quarantine manic mind not normal manic. Somehow I managed to make one small task last an entire day. Skills. Woke up pretty early after a horrible dream where I was locked out of school completely starkers which left me feeling quite disturbed on awakening. Probably something…
SOS : Day 8
Genuinely knackered. Have pretty much replaced all walking with dancing & am utterly spent. Going to bed early, meaning hopefully before midnight, to try adjust this damn jetlag overhang. Today in a series of bullets I cooked. Oh my giddy aunt. Finally! Did it as soon as I got up to get it out the…
Hola Barry: Day 7
Got up sub noon for first time today at 10.45 am & felt undeservedly like an absolute hero. C’mon Jadey!! So much so, I for some reason felt it desirable & indeed necessary, despite the minimum 3 week house-arrest, to attack all items on my to-do list simultaneously. At one point I had one call…
