Watching a news report about UK student taking 28 A-Levels.

I have to reread a sentence if a tardigrade farts.

... and I don't know how employment works elsewhere in the world, but in most workplaces in the UK employees can self cert for five days.

I don't know what the hell is up with this bug that's going around Wales, but I've never had so many staff go off sick at one time. I'm now off sick. 🤒

People are still dragging themselves into work with lurgy. We've learned diddly fucking squat.

Started watching the Mission Impossible movies for the first time. Hopefully I won't mentally check out like I did with the Bourne films.

This post will self-destruct in ten seconds...

Tiramisu is legal tender in my world. 🤎

@SatuUnelmia You're not missing much; absence of features we take for granted here.

Been dipping in and out of BlueSky for a few months, but the inability to filter words is unappealing and will become truly insufferable around the time a country's people do that thing where they choose the lesser of two numpties.

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Haven't a fookin' clue if I'm honest! 😂 Not changed a thing. Could possibly have been a dad batch of insulin, but not entirely certain. I'm coming back down quicker after food and not getting any more highs in the early hrs.

Just watched Superman III. Forgot how good Reeve's heel turn was; the look of utter distain.

My T1 diabetes not being an arsehole is... weird. A few weeks ago I couldn't get anywhere near single figures.

Okay, so I bought a Logitech G Cloud.

Yes, it's expensive for what it is (a cloud gaming streamer), yes it's not packing a cutting edge processor, but also yes: it's light, comfortable, has a 12hr battery, 7 inch 1080p display, emulation was super easy to set up; PS2 emulation at 50fps, even when upscaled! 🤘

Nice Android tablet for watching and listening to stuff aswell. Only complaint is it's too loud at its lowest setting, so had to use the Wavelet app to lower by -10db as a workaround.

@IrelandTorin @DarksideStraxus I like cannabis, I support it's decriminalisation, but I don't fancy putting my career on the line and risk getting caught financially supporting the local black market entrepreneur, thank you very much. 😁 😜 😂

I think I get where you're coming from: support/pay the artist/thing if you can?

@NorthernInvader Fourteen years T1 this month. As you're aware, it's a full time job and works it's way into all aspects of life. Some days I wonder how long I can continue wringing the last drops of mental and emotional bandwidth; to continue the daily diabetes grind alongside the role of functioning adult.

One day millions of ex-T1's will walk the streets, but I've been reading breakthroughs and close-to's and everything in between since day one; I've learned not to build too much hope. 😔

Have fallen into a funk of not being able to get to sleep, having racing thoughts, constant feelings of pain and grief; knots in my guts (pre-dates my Grandfather's passing).

A few days ago I started taking CBD oil capsules. It's not cheap, but I am noticing a change in headspace.

Before bed last night I took a few extra drops. I can honestly say I've had the best sleep in ages.

I used to smoke weed regularly, but I live in the UK, have a public protection career; have to be a good boy! 😅

Caught some rainbows in Swansea today.

@poemblaze Aye. 😄 But 20 years ago it used to be because of the whiskey and weed! 😅
