It’s the morning of the second day of 2024. And would you believe it, I’ve caught a cold!
Didn’t we start 2023 with me catching COVID? Now if that’s any indication of how 2024 is about to turn out, I might as well not bother trying.
You know, W.C. Fields has said, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.” So I have been trying since 2019. That was the year I got my second bought of depression, 2020, that was the year I almost had a holiday, 2021, that was the year people died, 2022, that was the year I joined the C+ club and 2023 began with me still in recovery. Overall, 2023 wasn’t so bad in comparison to previous years but I did lose my mind at some point.
You’d think I’d stop trying by now. But look, maybe 1st day didn’t work out, but I still got the first week or the first month. See, I’m optimistic!
Now let me get a box of tissues for my runny nose and wallow in self pity for now.

The Girl in Pajamas
I am the Girl in Pajamas. I am one inch short of 5ft, my face is covered in pimple scars, I have a squeaky annoying voice and a BMI index of 31.1 (which according to my gynaecologist is borderline obese).
I suffer from PCOS, minor alpha thalassemia and apathy. Which means that aside from having a grotesquely high amount of body hair for a woman, I also lack the energy and the will power to shave it off!
Every day is bad hair day except on days when I have nowhere to go.
In other words, I am your average looking Jane Doe who can lose herself in a crowd of other average looking people without a Henry Cavill look-alike Greek god giving her a second look (count how many times I used the word “look”).
In the brain department, however, I consider myself a self-proclaimed smarty pants and enjoy looking down on the stupidity of the rest of the world with a smug satisfaction.
Writing is my safety net because I’m otherwise tongue-tied if you speak to me face-to-face. Not because I’m shy but because my lack of nutrition creates a lag in my operating system. I mean a brain fog that prevents me from coming up with the perfect retort to your denseness without being offensive!
If you haven’t guessed by now, I also have a very dry sense of humour. And if you enjoy that sort of thing, then you and I will get along just fine!
Sincerely
The Girl in Pajamas 👩🏻🦱
