It's all about me. ALL OF IT. ABOUT ME.

Ah, yes, The Menopause.

Posted on 27/02/2023 by Sally

Posted on 27/01/2023 by Sally

I have a part time gig right now and I’m going to appointments and stuff right after work, so I’m so so tired. The love high has dissipated a little, but I gotta say, overall, I’m still more or less … Continue reading →

Meh.

It’s still unreal

Posted on 07/12/2022 by Sally

I find myself separating myself from the word cancer. It doesn’t help that I don’t feel sick at all other than my post-covid lungs. I keep making myself say that I have cancer so that my brain takes it in. … Continue reading →

Fuck you, titty meat.

I hate my ancestors’ genes

Posted on 25/01/2022 by Sally
