Quick personal update

Hi everyone, first of all: May your 2024 become a sublime year on all fronts.

As some of you may already know, I ended 2023 on a bit of a low, with a brief stay in hospital right before Christmas and further recovery at home since then.

Weird. This number I called has the S-L-O-W-E-S-T 'Press 1 for X, press 2 for Y' answering automation, with slow menu after slow menu, and slow "did you know that..." side bits and my brain just cannot compute with this at all. Tried twice but I just cannot navigate this. Bizarre experience.

Sorting out old stuff and I find info on a London flat I viewed in February 2017. The same or a similar flat is available now 6.5yrs later with a rent that's 75-80% higher. I earn less now than I did then. It's depressing. I cannot afford rent but I also cannot afford to move 😭
