I happened to look up how many people had the same name as me on the directory website. I didn’t expect to find so many in the local area. I didn’t live in this locality between 2006 and 2012. This is the importance of making sure all records have your middle name. I am the… Read More Everyone should really do this at some point.

I can no longer use lockdown as an excuse not to hang out with people. Barely a day out of the restrictions I get a text from a male friend asking me what I actually wanted between us. We were friends and crossed that line after going out for the night. I never truly got… Read More We have only been out of lockdown restrictions for a day… this modern world is already crazy!

I literally have only slept a few hours waking up every so often… so basically I haven’t slept as you can barely call that actual sleep. I was tired enough to go to sleep last night but just lay awake. I eventually dropped off at half 10 this morning. I was awake by half 2.… Read More I’m tired and today has been a struggle.

The most awkward time of the year is upon the autistic community. This week is just the start… we have another three weeks of seeing so called awareness measures by certain autism companies. There is mass distrust of Autism Speaks (based in the United States) when it comes to their awareness measures. If those of… Read More Autism awareness… this week and for a whole month.

Apparently, according to my phone it’s half 7 in the morning. I am quite sure that is the correct time as modern mobile (cell) phones automatically update time zone changes nowadays. I just checked google to ensure that my phone is correct. I didn’t get much sleep because I fell asleep most of the day… Read More Time zone Emma doesn’t feel affected by the clocks going forward (in the uk)

I finally got round to putting in my disability blue badge application into the local county council a few days ago. I received an email this morning telling me they they were unable to process my application because I wasn’t eligible. I didn’t have enough points in my PIP award letter. That is fair enough… Read More The council can be frustrating! Includes details regarding my disability that I don’t routinely discuss.

I got an email sent to me earlier thinking that I was a social/case worker for a client who has care funded by the local council. I sorted that out as soon as possible so that the message got through to the council so they could at least track the allocated case worker down to… Read More Well today was random.

I was literally fine earlier. I felt better than I had in ages. Then, a few hours later … migraine time! I can’t sleep because now I’m uncomfortable. I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel hot. I’m uncomfortably bloated because I’m still on my monthly. I think that is about to kick… Read More Why am I ok for a while and then suddenly I’m not?

I actually slept last night and was snoozing half of the day. I feel so much better! I have some energy to do things that require my brain… open university assignment answers. The cats are sorted (they slept on my bed half the day). The chicken eggs seem to be staying warm enough. I got… Read More I needed that rest!

I had to go for a nap mid to late afternoon due to the fact that I was unable to sleep last night. I had a bath, put pjs on and went to bed for an hour or so. I felt like crap because my monthly decided it wanted to be awful today. I didn’t… Read More It’s impossible to have a nap in this one place.
