    So there’s no heart damage which is great. Ecocardiogram shows no issues either.

    The results of the holter thing I wore that records my heartbeat for a day aren’t ready yet.

    This is the point where I go “yeah cool I’m fine”.

    And I’m going out tomorrow night to celebrate 🎉

    About to walk into my xx-year school anniversary. I wish I’d become an assassin or something…

    Edit. Not bad. Reconnected with one person who I realised I missed a lot. Main person I was hoping to see didn’t go, so that was a bummer.

      Nope. Never have. I think I’m chronologically challenged. Even as a child I felt I was a different age to the elapsed time record. This still applies. Though I do find that as age advances (I’m well over 60), that physical deterioration can be a bit of a reality check. Inside my head I’m still a teenager.

      Interesting question! Do I feel 48. I don’t know what what 48 is meant to feel like. I feel I’m at my peak now where I can concentrate on me and what I want going forward. Maybe I do come across as cocky but I don’t give a fuck. I prefer confident, strong and I’m gonna keep that as long as possible. 💪

      Mentally, definitely not. I’m perpetually 25. Im waiting to act like a grown up.

      Physically, I’m doing ok because I’ve worked on my fitness levels in recent years. Still when I pull a muscle, it hurts harder and longer now.

        I’ve gained a lot of weight but am aware of my limits and am working on them. No thanks to pulling a muscle getting out of bed but also know that to some extent it’s out of my power.

    My past self apparently programmed a secret message into my spreadsheet to alert me when the leave dates I want are open to apply for. I do not remember doing this at all, but when I opened it today there was a bright red “APPLY FOR LEAVE” message waiting for me. I am incredibly impressed with my ingenuity.

    YL has started dog sitting. She is in hot demand. She makes me laugh “People pay me to house sit, eat their food, play with their cute puppies while I study. I can’t believe this”. I love this for her. She’s in her element.

    Mummy and Daddy love it when she’s out of the house. Would it be wrong to post dog pics of other people’s pets?
