Let me get this straight: 37 miles cycling in one hit is a doozy. 5km run in 35°c heat is doable(at pre-stroke pace too!).

Walking to the hospital and dreading going there? That emotional baggage and mental work fills my head to the point that it exhausts me.

Bloody brain. Needs rewiring.

It makes sense to sit by the #river and drink mediocre coffee for free, than spend #money I don't have on #travel to a place that's too loud and #overstimulating to drink #mediocre #coffee for a price I can't #afford.

Reframing success


- “Am I #healing with integrity?”

- “Am I being honest with myself and others?”

- “Am I resisting the trap of pretending I’m fine when I’m not?”

Possibly my one and only post on P/politics


Speaking of #anxiety, #mentalhealth and so on.... I must profess to being in the minority when it comes to [the current year].

Or any year.

I've been disillusioned for the better part of the last 30 years. I do not want to "engage" with 'Big P' Politics, or 'small p' politics.

I'm struggling to get support and services for the injuries I suffered from a stroke. You know, typing and using your hands, not being perpetually exhausted, being able to see things in focus, not being over-stimulated by movement or sound (autistic readers are nodding sagely round about now...). It's taking up a lot of my mental time, energy and strength just surviving.

As a wise man once said, "I'm too old for this shit".

I may post some writing if I'm not feeling shy.
