    Water

    I take lithium and dexamphetamine, both of which cause a very dry mouth. So I drink a lot, especially at work. But I don't really go to pee that much. Probably because it's summer and I'm sweating the fluid out.

    what groups are you in?

    A few cat groups, that's about it. Oh, and a local adult autistics group.

    Weighted blankets

    ^We have a wuss of a cat too... My flatmate bought a 9kg weighted blanket last week. It has glass beads inside. I tried folding it and almost put my shoulder out. My flatmate loves it but has pushed it aside on her bed because it's just too hot. We're having a heatwave at the moment. I'm sure...

    having the urge to chew everything I see

    My flatmate bit her phone. Now she has to put up with the cracks in the screen until she gets a new one.

    Christmas!!

    I got some handmade candle holders plus candles and a shopping voucher from Kayleigh's parents, a book (that I've already read), a Target voucher and some chocolate from my parents and a Mandalorian calendar from Kayleigh. Kayleigh was my husband but now we're separated. We're still living...

    Constant thirst

    I've dreamt about drinking. I've always been a thirsty sort of person but now it is a lot worse because I take lithium which makes my mouth and throat dry. I must always take a drink with me when I leave the house. My housemate found cupholders to go in my car which I'm very grateful for...

    What made you sad today?

    I feel the same about our cat Liam. He's been gone since September but I still expect to see him come into my room and just be here generally. I miss him so much.

    have you been asked

    I'll be having a conversation with someone and get "Ssshhh, do you want everyone to know?"

    Why I hate hospitals

    Suzanne, they call it white coat hypertension when you go to the doctor and your blood pressure is elevated. Last time I went, it was 110/70. Not bad for someone female, fat and over forty. And on stimulants, heh. I'm glad you're ok. :)

    My Zentangles

    This one, the blue and green one, is my favourite. It gives me a sense of calm.

    Who else thinks that Star Wars never that good?

    Out of The Clone Wars, Ahsoka Tano is my favourite character. Two lightsabers! And always full of spirit and energy. I have two POP figures. One is Ahsoka and the other is The Mandalorian.

    Really loud pipe aaaaa

    Rat, how did you stop the noise? I'm curious and toilets are a mystery to me (how they work).

    When special interests are your only reason for living

    I was told in high school to get a job when I finished because I wasn't smart enough to go to university. Now I have a degree in psychology. I even got through statistics (very math heavy) on my first try. You write intelligently and with passion. I think you'll get there despite what those in...

    what is your favourite natural satellite (moon)?

    If Ganymede were orbiting the sun instead of Jupiter, it would be a planet. That's pretty cool.

    Hi I am Rat

    Hi Rat, welcome. There's lots of interesting posts to read here. My partner has had six rats, first three, then another three. Unfortunately they didn't live very long, they were prone to tumours. They were all hooded rats and each had a distinct personality.
