    So, I quit my call centre job. Had to go back to my psych after a mental health crisis and she advised that call centres are prolly tied to some trauma (most of my exp was while I was with my ex).

    So I quit. My mental health is more important, even if it might take me longer to get where I want to go.

    I’m kind of okay with this. It takes a special kind of person to sit tied to a phone and PC for 8-12 hours a day, and it’s okay that I can’t do that anymore.

    I had an inkling this morning and ignored it and now I’m having to use pens to pin my hair back because sure enough, my hair tie broke. Don’t ignore your gut!

    Apparently my iron and vitamin D levels are now normal. But my naughty cholesterol levels are too high. Prescription: fish. Oily fish. or fish oil.

      Just had my bloods done and everything is fine (sugar and cholesterol especially) but iron is a bit low.

      More spinach and legumes I guess (also GP sent a referral for an abdominal ulstrasound just in case)

        Maltopher iron pills are much nicer on the gut than Ferrograd if you try them. Spend the few bucks more on the Maltopher.

          I had to use Maltopher after cancer diagnosis - they were HORRIBLE! Extra spinach or other iron rations are FAR PREFERABLE. The weird shit they caused really freaked me out along with the explosive effects. Though I have to admit that might have been because my digestion was seriously compromised at the time.

        I’ve got an abdominal ultrasound too! They were booked up until the end of March, so I guess they are trendy at the moment

          Still unsure when mine is, referral only sent today. I had a gastro and colonoscopy last year, so not too concerned.

    Another day of begging for work and being ignored.

    I have a final interview and 2 firsts tomorrow.

    Edit: spent 4 hours with nothing to do so I watched YouTube.

    Managed to maintain a minuscule level of vaping despite being in the office.

    That spray thing is a godsend.

    Defs has made a huge difference in my singing.

    Cheesy pofferjes are working well. Now the challenge is not just eating them all myself.

    I started off trying to spoon the mix into the tray, but it was a bit labour intensive so I’ve put the mix in a bag so I can pipe them which is a lot easier and quicker.

    These are the ones that made the cut for afternoon tea. There are also lots more for me to snack on, but I'm going to put them in the freezer to stop me eating them all at once.

    Picked up some playing cards and dice for minigames at trivia. I’m getting bored of heads or tails so I want to mix things up a bit. I’m thinking we could try dice poker from The Witcher soon, it’s easier than regular poker because it doesn’t have the suits
