(Formally sweetnessbent2 from 🐦) Tasty northern tart who likes the strange and the sad. Might get a bit cheeky. • f1fteenkeats.tumblr.com ❄️ 🇪🇺 🍉 (she/her)
- I'm not well enough to drink a bottle of red wine tonight but I am going to allow myself an indulgent Chinese food delivery before I start to work on bucking up and planning for the future I have not the one I wanted.
- I got excellent feedback but did not get the dream job (I came a close second). It was always a bit of a wildcard option but I still feel extraordinarily sad and will just let myself feel sad until I rediscover my enthusiasm for the original plan.
- High anxiety day today is not fun 😮💨 Waiting to be put out of my misery re: dream job so I can get to the business of being Very Sad for a while and then move on. Can't concentrate on anything much. Thank heck for beta blockers. Errrrrrrrrrrrh.
- I haven’t heard about the Dream Job yet and so have (sensibly I think!!) decided I did NOT get it and am making an enormous bowl of sad person pasta and having a bath, not at the same time. The good news is that I really do think my tonsils have turned a corner at last 🙏🏻
- My tonsils are deswelling for the first time in two weeks. Penicillin is amazing 🥹
- Am at last furnished with antibiotics and an anaesthetic spray 🙏🏻 I now have separate timers for when I can eat, when to take penicillin, and when to take paracetamol and nurofen 🥲 I’m going to need a lot of vitamin c and salads and natural yoghurt after this.
- It’s been 15 days of swollen tonsils now and it’s all starting to look a bit bacterial after all so I’m in town awaiting another pharmacy appointment. I’m getting a bit miserable about it now tbh! I’m not sure this two week solid regime of paracetamol and nurofen is very good for me 🥲
- I’d say the interview was 95% really positive and successful (if a bit gruelling). It’s out of my hands now and hopefully I will find out by Monday. I am KNACKERED omg 🥲 Thanks for all the good luck!!
- I’ve had an enormous & nutritious breakfast, two coffees, one large freshly squeezed orange juice, two cold & flu tablets, two nurofen (for good measure), and a propranolol. Now camping out in a coffee shop 5 mins from the venue. I think I am interview ready (and may need to go to A&E afterwards).
- I still have some lingering UGH feelings from this cold/tonsillitis bout BUT I have been awake since 4.30am and am now on a train to Edinburgh for maybe the most important job interview ever. I want it so bad 🥹 I’m fuelled entirely by cold & flu tabs and lucozade pls wish me luck 🙏🏻
- One wonders how this wasn’t picked up earlier, really. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
- Pretty sure I just cured the last gasp of my tonsillitis with a grab bag of salt & vinegar Discos.
