And subscribing is good value and will give you access to EVERY piece, IN FULL, ANY time. Including an audio version should you need to listen on the go.

Six months is a long time. Half the amount of time I even spent in my previous role. You’d think that would be enough distance to move on. Emotionally, professionally, ~spiritually~. But I’ve realised I’m still feeling things about what happened. And after a lot of thought (and much discussion with those I love), I’ve landed on a few reasons why.

**(HI! THANK YOU, LOVE YOU, ENJOY – it’s Friday now and I suspect there are mentions to Friday in the piece referencing the future, so just ignore and understand that I wrote this earlier in the week)**Welcome to my week! A WEEK. My mood, lately, has had so many swings it’s been reclassified as a playground.

Calling Katy Perry an astronaut is like calling me a veterinarian because I kicked a ball around with my dog, or calling me a catwalk model because I got dressed this morning. I think both sick animals and fashion brands would both shudder if they saw me coming with a scalpel and/or the will to strut, respectively.

I’ve been living in the same apartment in north Dublin for over 20 years, and until recently with my late husband. In the last few months, I’ve begun to notice a group of youths that now seem to loiter around our block. They are rather rude and disruptive, banging on doors, leaving their rubbish everywhere and swearing and yelling. I’ve asked the neighbours and no one seems to know these young people or think that they are residents in our building.

Brush it, bleach it, braid it, bang it, Britney 2007 it. It’s just a load of dead cells sprouting out of our heads. It’s just keratin. But hair, lads… it holds some amount of power. First of all, it can determine whether I’m about to have the best or the worst day of my life. If all goes well, I feel invincible. If it doesn’t, I fling a hairbrush into a wall and think about my future life as a Polyfilla girlie.

I’ve made this post free to read for ALL subscribers, because I genuinely need everyone’s help. DO read on. I’ve often wanted to ‘hop on’ here as the influencers would say, and brain dump all of the bizarre thoughts I feel the urge to share on a daily basis (like, this morning, for instance, when the first thing I absolutely HAD to talk to my husband about upon opening my eyes was TKXXXXXXXX). Or to just share a brilliant TV or podcast recommendation.

to the extent that i'm writing this entire piece with no caps, just to see how gen z do things. i aspire to be one of those people who can just go, "personal news: i'm now prioritising rest!" and then float away on a cloud of worry-free self-care, emerging at some point in the future with glazed skin, a glazed-over look and a *poof* magically revitalised spirit. but here’s the problem: i have bills. a mortgage. a child whose feet grow at an ungodly pace requiring fortnightly new shoes.

Before I launch into the ‘here are things I bought that aren’t a total swizz’ part of this, I want to say to any new subscribers, HELLO and welcome, take a seat, will I throw the heat on for a few minutes? Thanks for coming, stay as long as you like. Then, I need to clear something up that’s been on my mind. I got some… (unwanted) *feedback* on my piece about the Meghan Markle-Sussex-Mountbatten-Windsor-Saxe-Coburg-Gotha TV show on Netflix.

**HELLO there!**I’m making this piece free to read for all, with the hopes that some of you who subscribe for free might upgrade. I’d really appreciate it! If you enjoy this piece, consider going paid, or if you can’t right now, consider sharing it online maybe. It makes such a difference and I am trying to grow my Substack so I can put more and more time into it for you guys. Thank you. Yesterday, I watched two episodes of a show so compelling it should be studied in universities.
