  • Kid

    I want to self-harm so badly. B is home. Kid. Cant self-harm if there are kids, remember? damn.

  • A little time

    So. D and the kids are off camping, they set off on Saturday for 9 days of camping all around Scotland. I’m here, at home with the dogs, unsupervised. The occupational therapy nurse came today and I managed to get up off the sofa with one hand and not face-planting. They still want me to…

  • Enough stalling

    I’ve been meaning to do a post all day but keep finding ways to avoid it. Why? I have no idea. The short stories are nearing an end. Thank god. I’ve pre-written and scheduled the last of them and my god they were hard, the last ones, you’ll see. It’s raining. Which I love. The…

  • Short Story: About coziness

    The fire crackled in the fireplace, casting a warm glow over the living room. The family was gathered around, sipping hot chocolate and talking. The kids were playing with their new toys, and the adults were laughing and talking about their plans for the next day. It was Christmas Eve, and the house was filled…

  • A touch too much

    I’m tired. I would say I did a lot today but its hard to say you’ve done a lot when you can’t get about. I’ve found the exercises from the Occupational Therapist and did them today. Was shattered after 30 mins. Think I pushed it too much. I will get better. I will get stronger.…

  • Short Story: About loss

    I still remember the day my grandmother died. I was 12 years old, and I was at school when I got the news. I felt like my whole world had been turned upside down. My grandmother was the most important person in my life. She was always there for me, no matter what. She was…

  • Shiney objects

    So as you are probably aware I’m quite simple-minded when it comes to things. On Thursday I got a new keyboard and have been dying to try it out. So much so that I plugged a USB-c into a usb-a and shorted out the USB-c 1 TB SSD and two USB ports. Fantastic. I must…

  • Life

    B had his end-of-school play today, the Leavers show, as he heads to high school in September. They did Grease. I feel ashamed that I was probably the only one in the audience who hadn’t watched it. Knew a few of the songs but it was all very confusing. I surmised that Sandra D rode…

  • A picture paints a thousand words

    Firstly, I’m not one to plaster my kid’s faces on the internet but this blog is my space to out my memories and thoughts. This picture is the first time all three of my kids went camping. We stay for a few days, played in the pool, and did some walking and fishing. Now that…

  • Ascension

    Things have been a bit better. I did have a fall in the garden and am licking my wounds but still trying to carry on with a smile on my face. R came round for monthly Dad time, we talked, I got fathers Day presents and it was nice. She is growing up to be…
