what’s a gay to do when you’re working 12 hour shifts, 5 days a week, and are desperate for a haircut? 😩
answer: use the hospital hairdresser. i was worried i’d come out with a blue rinse, but i think she’s done not too bad a job 😊
oh my, that tweet was a bit of a surprise. now that i’m finished breaking the internet, me and my silly little gay haircut are off to your dads house ✌🏻🌈
this week i left hospital medicine to join general practice. so i guess the GP will see you now 😊
(and yes i forgot my belt 🙈 the dog chewed it and i haven’t had time to buy another. don’t judge me 😩)
For 2 years she’s been trying to catch me. Weeks spent working in covid admissions since the pandemic began and she never managed. And now, 2 years on Rona finally got me 😭😭😭
just finished covering 4 busy covid wards overnight, and covid admissions on my own, and on my birthday. i feel broken 😢 and i still have another 3 nights to go
i start work in surgery tomorrow, so today i was glad to get a final group picture with this team. i couldn’t have asked for a better group of doctors, nurses, pharmacists and health care assistants to work with during covid-19.

every one of them ❤️
i’m a wee domestic goddess.. since getting home at 6pm i’ve done 2 loads of laundry, emptied the dishwasher, hoovered the house, put the wheelie bins out, emptied the recycling and walked the pups
now accepting marriage proposals via dm’s (please include a bank statement) 😂
i just fully committed to the gym lifestyle by spending £60 on protein powder and supplements 😩 got another couple of pairs of cute skinny joggers too 💁🏻♀️💅🏼
my amazing nursing colleagues managed to melt my cold dead heart last night. they made an elf on the shelf version of me. Meet “Little Mike” complete with tailored scrubs, face mask, stethoscope and ID badge 🥺❤️
so i was back working in the hospital this weekend, on a break from working in GP. i was caring for a very unwell woman in her 80’s. her husband sat holding her hand the entire time. when he said to her “please baby, i need you to get better” i was fighting back the tears 💕
on my third 13 hour shift in a row, and it’s the third day in a row i’ve had to make the call to move a patient to end of life care. making the call to their loved ones never gets any easier.. your heart breaks for them every single time
the nurses on the stroke ward are organising a big night out and honestly i could not be more EXCITED. i can’t remember the last time i had a proper night out.. definitely pre covid 😭 i fully plan on getting carried home 😵💫
just ran into a colleague i haven’t seen in maybe 18 months. back then she and I had started new relationships, very exciting, both very much in love. now she’s engaged and living with her fiancée. and meanwhile here’s me back on the dating scene 🫠🫠🫠
This is a post i’ve been contemplating making for a while now. 2 years ago my mental health started to decline steadily. I kept telling myself things would get better on their own, it’s just a rough patch. I hid it from everyone. I shut myself off. Tried to deal with it alone.
my consultant kindly offered to go on a coffee run.. but unfortunately he didn’t check if there were any coffee beans in the machine, so now i’m drinking a cup of steamed milk 😩 i didn’t have the heart to tell him 😬
nightshift 2 of 3 done.. time to head home to bed 😴 thankfully i didn’t lose any patients this time. i even had time to make hot chocolates for the nurses on the ward 💙
season 4 episode 4 of Star Trek Discovery was hands down its best episode ever! i need to see more of
@wcruz73
as the ship’s counsellor. and
@may_wise
absolutely killed it ❤️ Star Trek is by far at its best when it tells personal stories like that

ok does anyone else have a favourite gear change? for me it’s sliding from 3rd into 4th. it’s sooo satisfying. it gives me a pleasure i don’t get from the other gear changes. am i weird?
yesterday at the gym i did 45 minutes on the cross trainer, an ungodly number of squats, and then lunges. my thighs today feel like they’re on fire 🔥🔥🔥 i’m all about those booty gainz 😩
£6 for lunch from the hospital canteen. it was cold, burnt and had 3 measly pieces of pepperoni. i’ve never been so upset opening a pizza box before 😭😭
after 2 years of working in acute hospital wards, i thought that moving to General Practice would be a nice break.. purely monday to friday 9-5, no night shifts and no weekends. boy was i wrong. GP is intense, working within very tight appointments, with no let up 🥵
day 3 at the gym. for all you gym gays, i’m thinking consistency is key? so i’m forcing myself to go, even though i just finished a 12 hour shift, in the hopes that i get into a routine 🥵
honestly i’d sworn myself off relationships forever after being in a toxic one in the past.. then this amazing guy comes along unexpectedly and now after 12 dates i’m questioning everything
🫠😂
so that was the start of me wandering round the aisles for 5 minutes looking for a beef pie for her. NOT a steak pie she insists, a beef pie 😂 anyway she was delighted with her pie in the end 😊
snapchat memory to this time last year.. went on a date with this guy, the next morning i’m making him a cuppa and he asks for 4 SUGARS!! 🤮 instant red flag. needless to say he didn’t get a second date
#DogsAtPollingStations
must have become a thing during one of a dozen twitter breaks i took, so i didn’t get the memo 🙄😩 otherwise this one would have been out voting with me today
i left work on Friday afternoon looking forward to a 3 day weekend, thinking I was off the bank holiday Monday, only to have the receptionist tell me on the way out “oh no, we’re all scheduled to work as normal”
i’ve honestly never been so crushed 😭
these were taken on a lovely dog walk on my own this afternoon. right before the shit hit the fan 😫 i came across a large herd of highland cows, with calves, blocking the only path home. they then started moving towards me, which spooked me (not the dogs)…
why are all the twitter gays already posting christmas selfies of themselves dressed up and looking their best, with a glass of fizz in their hand? and here’s me wrapped up in oodie, unshowered, looking like something from lord of the rings 💁🏻♀️💅🏼
when he asks you to come round and tidy up his “front garden”… maybe check what he means first before you race round 🙄😂🙈
still.. at least it’s a beautiful day in Dundee for it 😊😊
hopefully this chest pain is musculoskeletal from overdoing it at the gym last night. but at least i’m working on a cardiology ward today if it’s not 🤷🏻♀️🤣
