I haven’t written in a while, but feel I should, a few special people in my life have requested that I do. 

So I’ve upped to strength 5 on the old coffee, picked up my mobile, (apparently we don’t call it a phone nowadays? Not down with the kids and they look at you all blank like) and flicked to the notes page and here I am. 

See, writing to me is therapy, but it’s hard to pick up a pen (metaphorically, luckily the “kids” still currently know what one of those is) and write unless I’m at my tiptopness form.

Google is a constant in my life thank goodness and still not outdated. 

When I see joyful Memes, I like to send them to friends and family just to make them chuckle. There was a lovely one the other day, all pastel colours and cute pets which said – swearing – it’s cheaper than therapy! So I sent that to a few people with the simple heading – Fact!

Then my 18 year old niece responded to it with a flames emoji. 

I went in to melt down mode! What did this mean? Had I caused offence? Was she shooting me down in flames?

Now I am a firm advocate of therapy, had years of the stuff and wouldn’t be in the happy place I am now without it. However, I also love a juicy bit of top notch swearing, especially in the car, really gets the juices flowing and releases endorphins. There is a time and a place for it and the boys are allowed to swear in the car to download their frustrations of the day. 

In fact, swearing can feel “good” or relieving to kids with ADHD because it acts as an immediate emotional release, helps manage intense frustration, or provides a dopamine hit for their brain. This behavior is often linked to difficulty regulating emotions, serving as a coping mechanism rather than just defiance.

☝️just Googled it! Another reason I love Google so, search enough and you can find the answer you want whether it be correct or not. Why I’m sure I could find evidence through Google that eating chocolate daily is good for you! 👇

“Eating a small amount of high-cocoa (70%+) dark chocolate daily can offer heart, brain, and antioxidant benefits due to flavanols”

I’m cheating, I knew that one already x 

Blimey, where was I?

Recap – therapy good, but expensive, swearing free and fun in moderation. Like wine, just swear responsibly. 

So my cool and trendy 18 year old niece had put a flames emoji on the meme. 

Luckily Google came to my rescue and it turns out it meant “lit” so I was still in with the in crowd, but they know me as Lucy Potato, but that’s another story all together! 

Right, I’ve had this special shampoo on my head for far too long and it’s definitely starting to burn so I best be off!

Oh look, I did it! I wrote a blog! Until the next time! 

Love and hugs you glorious human beings xxx
