One time I had a friend who gave me a pack of tissues before we went out, and she said, "keep these in your bag, in case we cry." She meant it seriously. I guess she was the sort that liked to come prepared, but even that's a bit too random.

I keep tissues in my pockets in case I get a runny nose! I can’t imagine that I’d give them to someone else to keep hold of.

It took me until about 12 months ago to understand that tissues are a better idea than bog roll for runny noses and stuff

Kitchen towels are better, and the hand wipes some supermarkets have in their toilets (so much quieter than those Dyson things) better yet. No, I don’t steal them; I just bag the ones I’ve used; they dry out in no time.

Oh yeah a good absorbent kitchen roll

I didn't used to be able to blow my nose when I was a child because it really hurt so I would fill up the bathroom sink with cold water and stick my head in it
I think it must have eased the sinus pain but I wouldn't have understood that at that age

Making sure I don't think so much about my first surgery which is set for January 8th, 2026.

I really need a nightshift job.
Or a job that won't have me get up at 7-8 AM and start at afternoon instead.

It's been a constant for most of my life already.
School, work... Everything.

I'm already past the certain age already.
So why bother getting stuck?

how to get the searchbar on top again instead of at the bottom
maybe i get yt by finding it here, outrageous guess probably

I don't get why I felt way more Christmassy last year than I do this year, even though last year I almost had a nervous breakdown because it was the peak of all that bullying that was going on at work.
I keep forgetting Christmas is in a couple of weeks. Maybe it's the unseasonable warm weather. Or maybe because I haven't heard enough Christmas music this year.

I used to always associate Twiglets with being a christmassy thing

We never had them in our house so I must be remembering them from someone else's

I don't actually like Twiglets

It's funny how people who wear turbans suit turbans but people who don't, don't
Yet we've all got a head

From this:

"Monday brings a feeling of revolt; Tuesday, the base craven, reconciles us to the machine."

...to this:

"The pessimist is commonly spoken of as the man in revolt. He is not. Firstly, because it requires some cheerfulness to continue in revolt, and secondly, because pessimism appeals to the weaker side of everybody, and the pessimist, therefore, drives as roaring a trade as the publican. The person who is really in revolt is the optimist..."
