I've just realised I can't have garlic bread for the foreseeable future and I'm also gonna be really limited when it comes to cheese and that is just heartbreaking 😭💔

As someone who's hardly ever sick (in adulthood, I've had one case of a stomack bug, covid twice, one chest infection last year, and that's it, aside from colds), I'm really not appreciating this sudden onset of being-so-sick-I'm-spending-days-in-the-hospital business that's happening right now...😖😭

Hospital food is so weird. They've served me plain omelette, mashed potato, and rhubarb crumble with custard for lunch? I like all three but I usually wouldn't have them together... 😂

Tried to order new phone. Confirmed payment in bank app. Why the fuck does Amazon then take it upon itself to cancel my order due to "unusual activity" (no shit, it's not exactly an everyday purchase is it?) and make me upload my ID so they can confirm it and my appeal, which will take 3 days??? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I've got an appointment with an optician tomorrow and I swear to god if they say there's no change to my vision I'm gonna scream because then there is something else causing my almost daily headaches and I'm not ready for that fight 😖

I've had "off days" every now and then for months, maybe years, where I feel exhausted or have random pains for no apparent reason. This week it's been something every day though, and today's a new one: I'm unable to read a physical book because of the pain in my arms 😶

I may have a few arcs to read... 🫣 #booksky

Never mind me just crying my eyes out at Criminal Minds S18E03 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Amsterdam was gorgeous 🥰 #amsterdam #travel #photography

An author I follow and have read books by posted that the ARC for his upcoming novel is now available to request on NetGalley so I requested it and then commented that I'd done so and 🤞🏻 I'd get approved; he then tagged me saying he recognised my name and approved it!! 🥹🥹🥹

I read To Catch a Firefly last year and it was one of my favourite books, and now I'm listening to the audiobook. I wonder if it'll make me cry... "Mom would be proud. I think I'm making a friend" 🥺🥺🥺

So happy for Taylor owning all her music! I love the Taylor's Version albums and vault tracks, but I'm so happy I can listen to debut and rep guilt-free now, and I fixed my playlist so everything is chronological again!! 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤🩷🩶🤎💙🤍

Nothing like starting May half term with a 5 hour nap

Happy #worldbeeday! 💛 bumblebees are my favourite but all bees are important to our ecosystem and need protecting. Plant flowers for the bees please! 🌺🌸🌼

My favourite breakfast when it's nice and warm outside... Yogurt Muesli bowl with whatever fresh fruit or berries I have 🥰

Post a pic from about 10 years ago 3rd year of uni, back when I was skinny (although growing up in the 90s and 00s completely warped my idea of what a healthy body looks like, so I still thought I was fat at this time) ✌🏻️

Heyyy all please check out my friend's sister on Spotify, her music is so goooood!!! 💖 open.spotify.com/artist/1iFfY...

Apparently, Reform wants to ban certain flags (I'm guessing from government buildings but who can be sure these days). So, time to buy more flags and display them, yes? 😁 🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧
