The sitch: New GP. Went in to ask for a script thingy (words are hard) for my annual thyroid blood test, because I realised I’d forgotten to do that in January. My usual GP is the kind who a) costs money and b) is booked out 6-8 weeks in advance, so I decided to use

Some inspo for your weekend today. This one tears me up every time. And you know what’s even more glorious? I actually know that I have friends who would – and have – rush to my rescue like this, to support me through dark times. If you’re one of those friends, THANK YOU. I love
