I first heard about Bo Burnham’s new Netflix comedy special on TikTok, of all places. My fyp was filled with clips, reactions + videos using sound from the special. “Wow!” I thought, “This is certainly trending!” Only to find out it’s not trending (it’s not even in Netflix’s Top 10 watches). One TikTok user snarkily…

May has been kinda weird, has anyone else felt that? Like I can’t exactly pin when the month began, and it feels like it went forever yet I can’t believe it’s already June. Time is a lie. As always, let’s just start at the beginning. Beginnings are always a good place to start, I suppose.…
I start the day with just over 3 hours sleep. My brain is so wired all throughout the night that even when I did manage to get some rest, it was filled with weird dreams + racing thoughts. By 6:30AM I give up, make a cup of tea and eat a banana. Bemusedly stare out…
Disclaimer: I haven’t actually climbed Mt. Everest. I want to. Very badly. I ended up down a rabbit hole of mountaineering and climbing YouTube videos and after emerging from several hours of bingeing with bleary eyes, I had a new goal; climb Mt. Everest. Except. Ohhh except. I’m frightfully unfit, also disabled, and did you…
It’s the 4th of May, and I’m only just writing this blog post now. Usually I try to write my monthly reviews as things happen, but April kicked my ass so now we get my attempt at remembering everything that happened… Strap in! First up; Easter! My mum came down from Melbourne to surprise me…
THRIIIIFT SHOPPING!!! Something that the pandemic took away from us here in Aus for one loooong year. Today, I finally got to go. To be fair, they’ve been open back awhile now, but I have been busy and also forgot this was a hobby of mine. (Shoutout to my fellow ADHD-ers, forgetting hobbies basically IS…
Last night, I wrote a blog post detailing how I was feeling in that moment. I was in a flare up, I couldn’t get warm, I was miserable over the feeling of missing out. But I ended the blog post with “tomorrow will be better.” Well. Tomorrow is today, so let’s see how things are…
It’s Saturday night, the sun has set and the rain has settled in. I’m out of commission for the night. In truth, for most of the day. This blog post chronicles the darker side, the shadow side of living with chronic pain. Content warnings for depression, ADHD, CRPS, description of injuries + mentions of a…
Did you know one year ago I had just got back into the country and was quarantining? Thankfully we avoided the hotel quarantine in Melbourne (which turned out to be quite the fiasco) by 24 hours… We were in Japan and had left waaaaay back at the beginning of March, before COVID19 even had the…
Right, okay friends. Frankly, I can’t remember 2 hours ago so this Feb overview is going to be… interesting. This is exactly why I use a calendar, a journal and a diary, because otherwise my life would be a complete mystery. For example: in Woolworths this morning I was trying to remember what I had…
