It's clementine season! Time to eat my own weight in tiny, seedless, sweet, and oh-so-easy-to-peel citrus!

My new hat arrived.
I likey.

It was very cheap. And suggested for people on chemo. So I have it ready for the day when my current hairloss becomes public knowledge. I'm probably not losing all that much tbh - but while I'm a redhead it's really noticeable in the shower! Great menstrual-looking clots of it! But yes, it is a symptom of liver damage. Sigh. As are my spider veins, which means my famous cleavage is now under wraps.

Still - happy thoughts, happy thoughts.
At this early stage a full recovery is possible.

And I like my new hat.

Funny thing was, when it arrived it was from Yusra Hijabs, which wasn't mentioned on the eBay blurb. It comes from Syria. Does that make me a Muslim now? Them and their sneaky agendas. Is that why I craved kebab last night?

I had an elderly Japanese friend who owned a cat named Clementine. She pronounced it Kurementine however. After a while my curiosity about why she would name her cat something she couldn't pronounce overcame me. Figuring out a semi tactful way of finding the answer I asked her how she came to name the cat Clementine.

"That was her name when I got her."

OK, then.

Now I always call the fruits, Kurementines.

Oh, my darling.

Taj used to be Maggie. At the time, Maggie was the bitter old bitch I supervised at my job then. She was awwwwwwwwfullllllllllll. I had to change kitty's name to Taj Ma Hall (she had a reddish dot in the middle of her cute little calico head.)

Drinking is what happened. I know at the time I admitted to it on the Cellar I was still in a grrrrr with you. I was in a grrrrr with other people I formerly treasured because some Cellar issues came to a head at a time when I really could not deal with them, and I never bothered to explain why I was vulnerable.

No blame now. But I still have health fallout to deal with. And isn't self-imposed fallout the shittiest?

There's more recently, but I can't in all conscience put it in this thread.
And am too scared to admit to put it in words anywhere else yet.

SO.

Diz was Dizney when I adopted him.
I'm not shy in saying I am pretty much anti-Disney.
The sanitisation of stories, the homophobia, the ban on beards...
He became Diz very quickly.

WHAAA? Bin all out in public and you got a PM and everything.
You know I trouble gurrrrrrl.

Yah okay.
Pictures may be in order.

The hairloss isn't like chemo hairloss. Just a thinning.
The nasty red spots are noticeable though. They've been coming on for a while though. Hence no real photos of me apart from face. And no fun bruising pics now I know it's exacerbated by the liver problems. Stops being quite so amusing. Ditto bleeding, esp from the lips and nose.

Other symptoms - while I'm on a roll, bloodshot eyes even after good sober sleep, itching, loss of appetite, loose bowels and blah, blah blah. Choc sez I should start a thread about my health. I guess it would keep it off the general board. And then in many years time you can download the posts as warning to your kinder about the dangers of drinking.

This is not meant to sound cross.
If I am cross it's only with myself, knowing about all this and STILL not making all the right decisions, although I am making some of them.
