I was a bit jittery before bed despite some lovely slow yoga, but usually that vanished after I’ve been asleep for a while, so I don’t think it was anxiety but I woke so many times and was then awake 2-4am. <br/><br/>This morning I have a meeting at 10 but before that I have to do some serious life admin which includes making three phone calls, something I absolutely hate but can’t put off any longer.

It’s hard to tell exactly but I think it’s about 6k, so I may end up run/walking. Hopefully I won’t get too lost, it’s not exactly a deep, dark, expansive forest. I hope I can manage it. I just thought it would make a nice change from my usual routes. I *think* I’m brave enough…? 2025-07-25T18:00:43Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqjwqmqpreehy87ue5lplh69r5ywce6p0gq5vm4gvyq6qr5m6efqqzypjfe5ym22hjrrvk8cfpu774wrn7ctpy3k7rzrw949829vxnj5stzt4pfch Reading an article in Women’s Running magazine about safety and how many female runners feel vulnerable in the day even though you might think it feels safer than running in the dark.<br/><br/>I have experienced a fair bit of unwanted attention from male strangers while running or walking alone, from cat calling to being asked to be a drunk man’s girlfriend in an otherwise empty park (bit scary), to a teenager slapping my arse and trying to pull me into the bushes. Only the other day a man in group of other white men in their 20s mimicked my running in a sarcastic way as I ran past them in the street.<br/><br/>A friend of mine I met of Twitter actually experienced a man sticking his foot out to deliberately trip her while she was running. She sustained cuts to her face and her confidence in her main psychological wellbeing technique was serious dented.<br/><br/>Why can’t men just let women walk, hike or run in peace?? 2025-07-16T18:35:40Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9647nkt3mzvc4dq3v6eaf004hx0095d6zrymy8ptkcwsemzqna3qzypjfe5ym22hjrrvk8cfpu774wrn7ctpy3k7rzrw949829vxnj5stz5qqm5p Good morning. I slept terribly because I let Tom persuade me to allow the cat into the bedroom with us. She was very disruptive so even when she went off somewhere and presumably went to sleep I was on edge and kept jerking awake. Then at 5am she decided it was time for us to wake up, at which point I took her downstairs and shut the hall door. Tom thought that was harsh.<br/><br/>I’m so glad I don’t have much work to do as I’m dazed and confused.<br/><br/>Is it Wednesday? 2025-07-16T09:49:59Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswjjqjtjfe73t0zewr9tkej8gkh9lkjjmnzs5253hsv73vp3u54xszypjfe5ym22hjrrvk8cfpu774wrn7ctpy3k7rzrw949829vxnj5stznevvf2 So Bluesky is about to require people to verify their age, which means sharing their real identity. I’ve no problem with people knowing my identity but then I’m not trying to hide from abusers. Or explore my gender. Or be a whistleblower. Or protest without getting arrested. Or or or… there are so many reasons people need anonymity. <br/><br/>Despite being myself online I am not keen to show Bluesky my scanned face or my bank card. So I guess I won’t be sticking around there.<br/><br/>I gave my advice before I left, which was “Switch to Mastodon, nobody there cares who you are, as long as you’re funny.” 2025-07-10T20:20:48Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqwkfr3xaa7q8jk2yhzk2ay3um5fuh3mz7dks27ww42x7u2cr2frgzypjfe5ym22hjrrvk8cfpu774wrn7ctpy3k7rzrw949829vxnj5stzu8v0l5 Morning. Having a lot of trouble getting going, mentally and physically, ugh. Trying to throw myself into some work but it’s tricky.

Also I found walking and running very effortful due to carrying the extra weight. Anyway, so far I have lost almost 2st (28lb/12.5kg) and ideally to get into the “healthy” zone I need to lose the same again. But I notice I’m getting a bit obsessive about it, keen to eat as little as possible, and if I eat “too much” I start to feel guilty and panicky. Which is clearly not good and edging towards eating disorder territory. <br/><br/>Not looking for advice, I know I need to keep an eye on this.

I’m just grabbing ten minutes to myself while Tom takes our visitors around the garden to show the progress we’ve made. Lots more talking, it makes me very tired.
