My period is late. It should have been over by my scary London event on Tuesday. But now I reckon it’ll start that day, meaning my horrific day one pain and nausea will be the day I have to speak on stage and talk w/ loads of industry people 🥲🥲🥲

But also Tuesday will be the first time I see a finished copy of my book, ever. I've had the proof copies for a while, but this will be the actual hardback, with the dust jacket and everything.... my period is also due imminently so I hope I manage to keep it together in front of other authors and colleagues!!

I have to sign 100 copies of my book in London on Tuesday for this publisher showcase/party thing and I am panicking because my stupid author signature looks different every time I do it!!

I just found out I won £100 in a prize draw, that’s a little something today at least!!

Spent the morning getting scans and ultrasounds and I can add uterine fibroids to my list of ailments, alongside an as of yet unidentified mass in there 🥳 !! The doctor said she wasn’t worried it was anything serious and I’d get results once she had time to have a proper look but still, ffs. The universe thought the heart disease wasn’t enough to send my anxiety spiralling I guess!!!

Felt weirdly emotional watching our constituency win Green by a landslide. But just a wee bit, considering in the grand scheme of things everything is so...bleak.
