Hey hey, let's talk about the tribulations of Debbie Downer: every single day is a struggle but I learnt how to fake a happy peppy person. Based on what I have studied, 10% are insane and have to be locked up. 40% have psychological disorders (including autism). 45% are just neurotic (close to normal or normal). And 5% are sane. Very interesting.

I've been into this for quite a bit, probably because my mom is a therapist. It's likely genetic, and fascinating ...how things are balancing here and there on the spectrum. I was very advanced compared to the norm and my kid is very late. I started to read at 2 and he can't read properly at 9. So, we went to a restaurant to celebrate the beginning of growing. We both love Japanese. And fish. And happy. I love my little troll so much. I am waiting until my knee is healed to get back to the gym as I hurt myself last week. We are both lucky to have developmental dyspraxia :)

I still have 3 days to finish my antibiotics and I feel very tired so no gym. I'm trying to be kind to myself... just let it go. Also, I'm trying to forgive the mess I see around my flat, it's something very hard to handle but I am so exhausted. I leave at 7, spend an hour on the train working, starting my "actual" day at 9, office till 5, running around, another hour of working on the train, picking up my kid around 7... taking care of him, because I need to see him at his bed at 9, we read Harry Potter, chores, me in bed at 10.30. The time queen that I am. Friday, I got home at 9 PM instead of 7.30 (I don't have the little troll Friday) because someone decided to end his or her life under the train.

So this is the 'suicide salad'. I was tired, I threw everything I had into a plate. Mental health is so important. Not many are being honest about their mental issues. But don't be afraid to reach out. Your friends if you have any, your therapist, or hotlines. I did have a few very dark moments before but now I just think of my kid. Hence a nice salad before going to bed at 10 on a Friday night, I am so boring.

And a wonderful day with my little troll today. He learnt how to clean a car, got a Mcdo that I promised 2 weeks ago (I always keep my promises), jumped all the way in a jumping park, and ran around outdoors. I hate 3/4 of it but it makes him happy so I guess it's the most important thing to consider. 30 min screen today because he asked me so nicely and has been cool. Usually, it's NADA.

Lessons learnt, again:
- I hate uneducated kids
- Sounds are so painful
- This frigging mask is still so annoying
- People are still so annoying
- I just don't talk unless I need it and it's fine, I actually shouldn't open my mouth at all
- When I do talk because it's life, I need to control myself if I don't, apparently I sound rude (I don't feel like I am but well... my previous job didn't work out, in the end, they said: you should just write.. Yeah!)

Oh, and this meme by @drnadolsky is so fun, a reminder to a lot :)))
Be well, FS.

Crazy week here, I don't know how I am still alive, to be honest. I've been going through a tedious administrative shit for 2 years now and I finally received a bill from my notary after he has been ignoring me in the past 4 months. It's almost the end, I should be excited but... Long story short, I collapsed and couldn't handle it anymore upon receiving an unexpected 16k bill. I could potentially handle it with my father's help, but it wasn't justified and it was just the last straw that broke the camel's back. After quite a few bitter tears, mind-numbing excel calculations, and (polite) fights, the bill got down to 8K but hell, it took me so much energy and effort that I got literally sick. I can tell that psychosomatic suffering is real.

I was informed about the process and am aware of legal obligations in my case but I feel really sorry for women who have to go through a tedious legal mess and who are not aware of all the traps on their way. I am not a hardcore feminist but now down the road, at 40, I realise more and more how disadvantageous it is to be a woman. We are socially more fragile, overpowered, less paid, and constantly mansplained. Sometimes, I have to say I am sorry when I know I am right! And I am part of a very privileged cluster as a white educated woman living in a "developed" country who can count on her (rather wealthy) family. I don't need to go very far, I can see the difference between myself and my brother: same family, same chances but not the same outcome. Love you, bro ))) I'm not complaining, I know I am luckier than many but I still find this very sad and concerning.

So no working out since Thursday, and comfort food all the way. Eating pancakes :))) Thinking about my life and where I am going. I want to unclutter my place at some point, I feel like it's taxing me a lot. This is half of my beauty closet :) Hey, I am a tube person!
