THE GNOME PRANK. A THREAD.

@ShellsPemBroke Thoughtful always. I’m always blown away by the gifts I get from people- never boring and they are always a mirror of who I am and that makes me feel so loved.

Do you prefer expensive gifts or thoughtful gifts? One of my favourite ever gifts was a puzzle mat. Because he knew I built puzzles on the floor and the cats attacked and broke them. It was cheap but it just screamed “Shelley”.

Home. Alive (which the doctor says I’m lucky to be). With my dog. I have to rest and it’ll be a while before I’m fully “ok” but I’m here.

@mammachefjozi I’m getting there - it’s up and down but apparently takes a while to get the sepsis under control and make sure there’s no permanent damage.

@Ell_O_L Ella!!! Oh my soul! How are you feeling today? You know the thing with these people… you don’t live your life for them, you only live it for you. It’s your own health and your own body and they have no say over anything. Please, please put you first and get better ❤️‍🩹 ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I went into septic shock today, and a thing I learned about myself is that I spend so much time letting people tell me I’m too much that I ignore real scary shit that could actually kill me because I don’t want to be “overdramatic”. I’m not entirely out of the woods, but I’m ok

@kitzluvs Thanks my lovely

enough to be mad. I didn’t take this seriously when I should have because I was downplaying it to certain people I have to deal with because they are so critical of me. Anyway, lots of drugs and tests ahead and I miss my dog & I hate hospitals.

@jacksinkyarm Thanks friend, I’m getting the all the meds and stuff I need to pull through.

@Nicolamonsma Tried to ignore my body a bit too long - eventually it fought back. In hospital now for a few days while they try to reverse the sepsis. I should be ok though ❤️

@Ell_O_L Feel better asap! What happened? x

@dillylibrarian No, it was really quick. I was sick and trying to hide it from certain people because I had been sick a few weeks ago & some comments were made. I began to think I WAS imagining things honestly, until I collapsed.

@Ell_O_L Gosh that escalated fast, or have I missed something?

@sqlstudent144 Oh psssssh (again, I’ll take it and thank you)

@Ell_O_L I can see it.

I was also asked for my ID at the bar tonight. The guy wouldn’t believe I was over 40. At first I was going to make a “you wanna see if I qualify for a senior’s discount” joke, but no. He really thought I was under 23.

I went on a first date 2night. It was possibly the most bizarre one I’ve experienced. Which is saying a LOT. Adding to the WTAF-ness of it all, ANOTHER GUY approached me outside the bar & asked me for my number because apparently I’m very beautiful. I mean, I’ll take it.

@Micylaaa It tells me I’m most compatible with the absolute WORST people - it makes me worry about what that says about me.

Hinge saying I am “most compatible” with a blonde finance guy???! Deleting the app rn

Had such a fun evening with my friends watching My Fair Lady

Just chilling with the greatest dog in the world

Some days you just need to be a Bernerner.

@watsenaam Lol, thank goodness no. I managed to pull it off, but there were casualties 🤣 Thank goodness hair grows back.

I’ve been making a flower crown for a Day of the Dead party. I put the final touches on it and decided to try it on, but the glue hadn’t dried yet and I glued it to my hair and this is why I shouldn’t be left unsupervised.

@oodledine Oh YOU!!!

@Ell_O_L Your skin!!! She beautiful!!!

10k walk achieved. And yummy freezos with my friends. Life is good.
