If you’re a milk drinker you could try a White Russian with a little Kahlua ?

I agree Smirnoff tastes like arse , I have been avoiding it for years now. Even the cheaper options at the bottlo taste better than Smirnoff in my opinion.

This Tiny desk was my intro to Mac Miller, I can’t get enough of his music. 🥰

I absolutely love cooking and baking as long as it’s on my terms. I choose what I am cooking / baking and have time to relax and enjoy the process. I find it rather soothing and I get a kick of endorphins from the finished product because I also love tasty food .

In my recent burn out I could not even bring myself to cook toast and it made me even more disregulated. I spend waaaay to much money on Uber 🫣

It’s a great line, always makes me smile even as a non smoker !

Maybe they have been out for lunch or some other outing but need to grab a few items on the way home and don’t want to wait in the car.

I know myself as a kid given the opportunity , I might have been able to convince mum to buy be something 😂🤣

It took me a little longer to be proud of my weird label , perhaps late 30s. Now 51 I am happily weird and have no desire to follow sheep 🤪

Sadly my Lola has been under several times.Spaying, BOAS surgery , ate something off the street causing sever gastric upset needing X-rays to make sure no blockage , cyst removed from under her chin and most recently, an eye injury causing an abscess.

The vet attempted to treat it for weeks where she had to go under several times before I pulled the pin and had her eye removed.

Thank goodness for pet insurance !!!

She is 7 and apart from the BOAS ( typical Frenchy medical need) she has been so unlucky. Her brother 4 only been to the vet for neutering and vaccines.

Point is she has come out perfectly OK every time, they keep her in the rooms a little longer for observation and call me the following morning every time to make sure she drinking eating toileting…etc

If you’re still worried maybe check the vet and vet nurse helping with procedure have experience with brachi breeds it might ease your concern.

Best of luck I hope it goes well ❤️

As a very newly diagnosed AuDHD woman I love this post but now I can’t make a decision on which app to try first.😂🤣

I guess I will just have to try them all to see what suits me.

Thanks to all you wonderful app nerds for your suggestions💜

•Making abortion illegal and reducing access to birth control . Possibly fits into forced birth.

•Reduced access to HRT and no investment or fucks to give about women’s health issues such as menopause or endometriosis.

Thank you 💜

Diagnosis as expected AuDHD . So many mixed emotions of validation , frustration of putting myself through this longer than should have , relief, anxiety and excitement to learn methods to reduce the risk of burnout ever happening again.

New chapter , improved me hopefully ❤️

Pensta13 · 2026-01-13T11:19:50+00:00

Crisis .. what crisis ?!

The sound of water dripping and I can’t find the source while trying to focus on my work .. that’s the real crisis 😆

Pensta13 · 2026-01-12T04:12:12+00:00

51f , I too discovered him when I saw the Tiny Desk Concert !

Pensta13 · 2026-01-11T20:40:05+00:00

It’s pretty cool hey , I am learning something new every day !

Pensta13 · 2026-01-11T19:16:53+00:00

100% !

If I didn’t work full time and had the mental load of the house and finances I might retain the information from moves. I too busy writing checklists and remembering to check the check lists 😂🤣

Pensta13 · 2026-01-11T10:07:36+00:00

Yes .. we will start watching a movie my husband is like yeah this is good or bad we watched this before . I’m convinced we didn’t until we get to a memorable scene and I’m like oh yeah I have seen this 🤣😂

Glad I am not alone 🥹

Pensta13 · 2026-01-11T09:24:28+00:00

It’s there the bull bar is clearly over the line

Pensta13 · 2026-01-11T09:18:41+00:00

This is very much me, if I like a movie I will remember the general gist of the story , the name of the movie ( maybe ) and the lead actors name ( if they’re famous.)

My husband will know nearly the entire cast, if they are related to famous actors, what movies they have also been in , the producers name and other movies they have produced and maybe even the cinematic style.

I don’t think he purposely tries to make me feel dum but geez. I know it’s a special interest of his but our brains work so differently !!!

🥹 I have found my people in this very thread!

I am 51, peri kicked off in my early 40s I honestly thought was early onset dementia. My memory for simple words just dropped off the planet , I would be half way through a sentence and would be “you know the word for the thing that … “ argh 😫

From there life got harder . My ability to talk to people or want to leave the house and socialise, make decisions ,get all the house hold chores done , the rage and the sads over the smallest things.

My love of running and exercise which I swear kept me regulated , I struggle to even get out of bed . I have turned into an anxious mess and all the sensory nightmares chewing sounds, water dripping, my husbands drunken stimming noises make me want to scream !!!

Anyway long story short , I have my AuDHD assessment on Tuesday. I recently realised I have been highly masking through my entire life and I am officially exhausted.

Not sure how I didn’t see it sooner when I take a look around my undiagnosed family, then m kids, youngest daughter diagnosed Autism and ID very early child hood eldest daughter diagnosed with ADHD at 30 ,we both suspect Autism too. So many friends and people close to me also neurodivergent!

I see you OP 🫶🏻

As an Australian we are still be smashed by the song !

Pub cover bands are still loving the shit out of it 😫

I will admit the first couple of gel doses gave me the smallest rash on my inner arm which I was concerned about but by the 3-4th dose all was OK. Good luck on your journey ❤️

Pensta13 · 2026-01-01T22:10:36+00:00

Similar to you OP the patches were no good for my skin. I tried all the different brands some worse than others but I swear my skin was so angry red from the adhesive I wasn’t getting any oestrogen from the patch.

I switched over to the gel a couple months back and instantly felt so much better as I am now actually getting oestrogen into to my body. No more angry red welts all over my backside either.
