Developmental leap 10 also know as "my baby has turned into the devil incarnate". I know it should be a matter of weeks at most before she goes back to sleeping normally but the several times a night wake ups plus last night's 4 hour refusal to go to bed got me to breaking point. Roll on the end of leap 10

Stoopid epileptic brain 😡 Have had to cancel my double appt for piglets at C&R because I’ve had a seizure overnight, been waiting weeks for it :(
Thankfully just health checks really for Luigi and Cleo and we’ve rebooked for in a few weeks but it makes me feel very guilty! Damn brain! 😡 (Was having a good run there without though I suppose so I shouldn’t complain too much but still! 🙄)

Sorry to hear that. You've done really well coping with the past few days. Without epilepsy I might have not made it to C and R after the few days you've had, just out of "it's all tooo much"... 😊
Most piggies never get to C and R, Luigi and Cleo are lucky piggies.

Thanks so much ☺️ I should be grateful it wasn’t during the appointments or on the bus really, sure that wouldn’t have been pleasant! 😳:))
Thankfully Gigi isn’t bothered by his eyes in the slightest and Cleo has gone a whole month without needing metacam for her trumpet nose (touching giant trees!) so at least it’s not urgent! (Really shouldn’t say these things out loud! 🤦‍♀️)
Bed day for me! And a fuzzy Jasper cuddle might be in order in a bit when I’m not such a wonky zombie! :luv: Thank you ❤️x

Oh gosh, I feel for you! I don't know how you mummies do it. You are super-human. Hope this phase passes quickly for you all

Oh no! As others have said, your piggies are very lucky to have such an amazing mummy and wont mind rescheduling. Hope the bed day does the trick and you feel better soon 💗
 
Bit of a big one but... Afghanistan... all those girls and ladies not knowing if they can go to school or uni or work anymore, those people desperate to leave scrabbling to get on planes, all the supposed world leaders clueless what to do now... sad days :(
Also Haiti, isnt it shocking that several hundred maybe thousands dead, injured, missing, homeless, in Haiti isnt even trending news because of Afghanistan, covid, various climate catastrophe events... all pretty grim.
Dont want to bring everyone down but... somebody should say, right? That this is all going on in the world while we fuss about our pets here?

Also while the world ends for so many people, the BBC's top trending new story? "Nandos runs out of chicken". No words really are there...

Maybe the BBC don't want to bring more bad news to an already depressed Country? Afghanistan and Sharia Law is a very strict and draconian law to live by. Women not being able to go out of the house unless accompanied by a male relative, not being able to get certain health care when it's needed, not being able to go to school, college or university. I've also heard that the Taliban fighters who want a wife can just rip the women from their families and "marry" them. This includes girls as young as 10! It annoys me that such a 1st world problem should even be news. There are real people suffering real problems around the world.

I often wondered why they were dubbed “wonder weeks”. Definitely nothing wonderful about them for the parents! 😂😂😂

My fear is it that it’s only a matter if time before this regime spreads. Look how fast they took over Afghanistans map in the space of the last month. Once they stabilize I would not be surprised if it starts to leak over the borders which is a truly horrifying thought.
 
I feel ill. I'm supposed to have an appointment with the gender clinic in Leeds today, it's a video appointment, and that's not normally an issue. Usually I've done these via my social workers laptop at the CMHT offices. No big deal. Except today, because today is a Thursday, and all those rooms at the CMHT are booked all day. I have to do the appointment here. At home. On top of that, this appointment is important, because today I find out if I'm getting my surgery referral.

I'd like to throw up. And stop chainsmoking out of panic. Or maybe start sewing something. But nope, not today. I kind of wish the appointment was just...over already.

Good luck! Shame having a change in such an important appointment but hopefully it will go well!

No wonder you feel nervous @Lorcan! It's an important appointment for you. I'm sure it'll all be fine.

The waiting is generally the worst part, and I know that, and I still have that "I'm gonna boke" every time lol. Video appointments are at least less stressful than the travel to Leeds and back, and I'm not really looking forward to maybe having to do that again.

Best of luck @Lorcan sounds like a big day, hope it goes well and you get your surgery referral! Must be very nerve racking and official appointments and waiting for them especially are always a bit traumatic, but focus on the afterwards- short term this evening having a few well earned drinks and feeling good that you did the appointment, and hopefully long term getting your surgery x

I got my referral! They've also agreed to organise another endocrinology appointment, I started hormone treatment in September 2019 and by the time I was going to get an appointment to touch base, discuss doses, that sort of thing, the pandemic hit and I haven't had a review. So I'll get that review and hopefully a blood test to find out exactly how everything is going.

I did need a cigarette afterwards though. And thankfully my neighbours avoided screaming at each other til after the appointment was over, lol.

Congratulations! xx
 
My back has been aching since yesterday. I had a hot bath last night to try and ease it but it clearly didn't work as I woke up this morning and it was even worse. I am now sat on the sofa with a hot water bottle in the small of my back and propped up with a pillow. I may have to have some wine ..... for medicinal purposes obviously!

My back's been acting up again, I finally got it to pop (not quite how I wanted it to pop but it felt better regardless). I was almost at the stage of lying flat on my back on a hard surface and letting it shift like that. It can't half make some odd noises, heh.
 
I've clearly been cursed. First I went to wipe down a bookcase so I could put Eily on top. Baby wipes are great for that, there's nothing in those that could possibly mark the fabric. I have a half used pack. Can I find it? Can I heck. Search everywhere, nope. Sigh. Find Dettol wipes and let it dry and then put Eily on the shelf.

Then I'm deciding what to work on next. What's on top of my pile of patterns? Baby wipes. Fml. Okay whatever.

Take forever to choose a pattern, settle on one, clear the coffee table for tracing. I need paperweights. I own none. Fine. I have a carved stone ashtray that'll work, and it's not been used recently so a quick wipe should do it. Uh, where'd the baby wipes go? Fiiiiiine. Dettol wipes again. Trace out first pattern piece. Take a quick cig break. Go back to trace the second piece.

Where tf did I put the pencil?!
