I was talking to Kayleigh earlier and she said her b12 was due and it got me to thinking mine should be due soon too. As I get the injections three monthly I use text message reminders and the app from my doctor's to remind me but had nothing. Getting in touch with the doctor's it turns out I was supposed to have been there four days ago, which, sigh. Thankfully they're not mad and have made me another appointment, but really phone, you had to act up now?

Telling Kayleigh after she was saying how she feels like a dead frog, and yeah, I get the feeling. I need my three monthly energy boost too. It doesn't help that I've also got a minor head cold atm and James is on the last day of four late shifts. I'm not a natural night owl at all and these 3 am bedtimes are about 5 hours too late for me.

To the surprise of no one I'm sure, my brother didn't manage to book a holiday. I mean, who would have thought that flights to popular holiday destinations in the school holidays would be full? Apparently not him. So they're off on holiday at the end of the month instead, so maybe sib dinner can happen next week. Hopefully on a day when I don't look like Rudolph's tired and washed out sister.

I've been catching up on some tv and finished the latest season of The Flash yesterday, and am now working my way through Legends of Tomorrow. I'll be watching more of that later, and more new Queer Eye as I've been rationing the new eps. Though fell asleep during the one I was watching last night which wasn't on at all.

I may have also been watching the Christmas in summer film channel but let's not talk about that

I follow all of the Queer Eye five on Insta and JVN and Antoni have been teasing they're in a relationship, up to and including creating an insta account with their smush name. All of them are very touchy-feely -- the fact they hold hands so often delights me because hello fab five, indulge my hand holding kink always, please -- so it's not really a stretch to understand why people think it could be more. I just feel for those people who're so invested in wanting it to be real despite them posting that they're nothing more than very good friends having a joke.

And on the topic of insta, I posted some photos of my garden the other day and how it's getting taken over by plants. When I sit in my rocking chair I'm surrounded by greenery on all sides, which is kind of cool. But, already the courgettes are starting to mount up.

*hugs you* damn phone!

I’m not surprised that he had no luck. I dunno how he expected to get one at this time of year this late

Yay The Flash! I’m starting season 4 Monday which I think is a season or two behind

There’s a Christmas in summer channel?

Aww that sounds so cute and wow your garden is doing well!

Oh man, I hope the injection does its thing, and that you and James both get to get some more regular rest now.

Your garden is so full of different rich shades of green! Beautiful.

Your garden looks GLORIOUS (courgettes are... well, they inspire a lot of thinking out the box, so one doesn't get entirely sick and tired of them!)

Having a head cold in the summer totally sucks. Even if it's a minor one! Hopefully you'll feel much better after you get your b12 shot.

No, I'm not suprised at all :-)

Wow, your garden is looking fantastic! So green and lush! And look at those pretty tiny pansies! And are those sweet peas I spy in the background?

Lovely garden! You remind me of my dad. He loved sitting around in his greenhouse with all his plants too.

Super impressive garden is super impressive, T.!

I am v. much behind on the new Queer Eye (I think I'm somewhere at the halfway point of S2?), but I can see why ppl would be happy or invested if JVN/Antoni was (is?) real. And, like, social media can and does augment the ship (regardless of it being genuine or not.)

It's like the stuff we saw in Bandom only 10x more intense. I'm seeing something similar with another celeb* and, though it'd be neat if the ship was real, I'm half-cringing at how totes delusional some of the celeb's fans can be.

Part of my discomfort is the fetishization of M/M relationships that some ppl reeeeeeally get into.

* I'm being v. circumspect about the celeb because they haven't come out/confirmed their relationship and I don't want to be a jackass abt it.
