Not sure where my headphones are. Feels like the worst possible start to the day.
Each Ted Lasso episode is one closer to the end, so I’m relishing watching it but also my sadness is growing.
+1 for keeping it short though. See also The Detectorists. Which you should also see.
Finished my Ted Lasso catchup. Season 3 tomorrow. I can’t sleep, I’m too excited (Always makes me think of this Disney advert).
Not really, I’m knackered.
Just trying to power through. I know the choices that I can make that will make me feel better. At the moment, I’m trying to just do them. We’re going out after work so if I wanted to exercise I needed to do it early. So I did.
Anxious about having to start preparing our class assembly this week. If it was just that, it would be ok. Thing is, it’s preparing that on top of trying to keep our class timetable as normal as possible.
Work and stress on top of work and stress.
When your stomach drops but your heart hopes…
That it’s just a twist in the story!
Then you actually cheer when it is! Reading is the best.

Slow build of a cover. Awesome 🎵
My friend and I have a thing where if we just want to get something off our chest, we end our message with good chat. When it’s used there’s no expectation of a reply. We just need to get it out.
Anyway, another friend got me this hat today! The good chat hat!

Really warming to Shrinking on Apple TV+. Some great lines but also lots of feels like. Even if people walking around talking about their problems to those they are close to feeling like such an alien concept to me.
No hug is too long. No doppio espresso is too dense. No beach is too empty. No new baby is too cute. No moon is too full. No love-note is too long. No week-end is too appreciated.

I don’t often get solitude. Was grateful for the solitude of working out in the gym on my own today. Very much cleared my head and made me realise how much a negative effect on my mental health alcohol has. I’ve had a few drinks the last two nights and just don’t feel great.
Got a notification because my heart rate dropped below 40 to 39 bpm 4 times last night. Hoping it’s the exercise…
“I hold my children, and I hold my wife, and I know that they will die. And I know that it could happen before I die. So I know that our time together is finite. It will end. And so I appreciate them so much more. I marvel at the fact that these particular collections of cells coalesced around these souls for a temporary period, and I’m so lucky to get to be here at the same time as the little collection of cells and bones and nostril hairs. And so I really make the most of it in a way I didn’t before. And I wish that that skill didn’t come from something so painful. But it did. That was the price tag for me to receive that gift. And now I have it, and I appreciate it.”
