🦷 Just had quite a lot of dental work done. Anxiety attacks during drilling was a very intense experience. But the dentist was really nice, kind, and did a lot for me today to fix my mouth up for the future. I'm grateful for that.

I had less than 4 hours sleep last night. Woke up in the small hours feeling terrible and couldn’t get back to sleep. My devices are telling me that my sleep score was ‘High’.
No, Apple. You are high.

Not being hyperbolic, but I feel like having gum injections and teeth drilled is a genuinely traumatic experience.
This time the dentist injected right into the back of my jaw. It was easily the most painful injection I’ve ever had.
I’m in bed for the afternoon to recover. Maybe I’m getting too old and delicate for this kind of thing now. But I really need to do my best to look after myself…

Today has been nice and chill. A well needed slow day. Very nice.

And as soon as this delivery comes I’m putting my phone on do not disturb (except family). Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh 😌

I had the most amazing idea. So now I am in a beautiful, warm, fragrant bath. With candles and incense burning.
I am in heaven…

Hmmmmm. Affinity (Serif) is announcing something this month. I wonder what it is? I’d like to see them make their own take on Lightroom.

🎥 I just watched Dream Scenario with Nicolas Cage. So weird and uncomfortable. Just so weird.

🎮 We got absolutely humiliated in the new season of Fortnite OG tonight. Almost every match was severely sweaty. It was brutal! Nice to hang out with the kid tho ☺️

🥧 I just had my first mince pies of the season. With a large dollop of clotted cream too. Very nice. #PieClub

Mum is having a pretty horrendous time right now. She’s just not well enough to go home yet. It’s a really tough situation for her to be in. Me and Dad met her doctor today. It was a constructive meeting, and helpful. Just not very hopeful. Love you Mum. 💜💜💜

@gregmoore Wow. They’re like huge feathers in the sky

💭🖍️ I'm going in hiatus on Bluesky for a little while. I’m finding the Waffles thing is just bizarre and smacks of mockery and disrespect. https://aeryn.me/wafflegate

@marlo I like Bluesky in general but I always found it really difficult to curate my feed as easily as on mastodon. And the general social vibes there are far more transactional and spammy

Having a couple of down days. Cancelling everything. Messaging folks to let them know. The overwhelm has been creeping in and I didn’t notice. I push myself too hard. Don’t want to turn it into a crash.
Gonna make another coffee and jump on Fortnite. Fuck it.

I like what Adam said about Mastodon. Because that’s why I signed up to use it. It’s part of my blog.
For me. I was looking for a microblogging platform. I wanted a place I could post, with reasonable export options.
The social features are a welcome part of the experience for me but only because the curation functionality is strong.
I blog for me. I speak personally. At no one. But I need that to happen in community. If you get what I’m mean.

🎮 Fortnite was surprisingly successful this morning. I really needed to play something. It helped me so much.
2025-10-07 15:52
Oof! Really nice

Heh 😏

I was hoping to get outside today. But the day slid by in a flash. I am reminding/convincing myself it’s ok to have downtime. The overwhelm has been very Very.

@binarydigit Following people gradually and building connections organically is the only way that makes sense to me. The idea of suddenly being connected to lots of people is very anxiety inducing for me.

📲 The Affinity Suite is available for free right now on iPad through a free lifetime subscription (in-app purchase). That's Photo, Designer, Publisher. Seems like they are moving to a new model, or version 3 maybe at the end of the month.

🎮 Fortnitemares is a lot of fun. And it looks incredible. Me and the kid had this amazing cinematic moment last night. It was like a set piece in a Bond movie and just happened spontaneously in the end game of our last match. Not sure if I can share it but I will if I can.

I had a few down days this week. It was really tough. Yesterday I managed to go visit my Mum in hospital and go to my support centre too.
She’s maybe getting better but still very poorly and struggling very much with still being in hospital after all this time. It’s really really hard to see her suffer like this.
Today, I went out on an errand and the photography bug bit me hard. Lucky for me I carry a camera almost everywhere I go. Autumn is beginning to hit and I found some really nice leaves and scenes.
Photography is medicine for my soul.
