Edit: thank you for the birthday wishes! Sending you all good vibes! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

I've been falling asleep to hour+ long videos on space, by Astrum Extra, so I don't know why I had a nightmare about

tw bloodLiving alone and finding blood everywhere in my house, running to the neighbours for help, then waking up to find blood everywhere in my house, running to the neighbours for help, then waking up to find blood everywhere in my house, then running to the neighbours for help... And so on. It was a good 15-20 loops before I woke up at 3am.

The cat came and cuddled me so I fell back asleep and was fine. I'm not upset, just tripped out lol.

Second ADHD assessment appointment for my partner today, so another trip across the city. Gonna treat myself with a cafe coffee, because it's my birthday ๐Ÿ˜‚

My beautiful friend came over yesterday, and made a delicious soup, healing for the mind, body, and soul. I feel so happy to have spent the day with them. They got to meet Mickey, we took a walk, it was great! They gave me their guitar, so I've been practicing last night - gonna practice more this afternoon when I return. I do wish I had slightly longer, thinner fingers so I stop flattening the other strings when practicing chords, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it with practice.

Aaaand Trump goes back on the tariffs, and nobody is surprised because the country is run by toddlers basically. Stock markets are back up. Wonder which of his friends made a pretty penny by buying during the low and selling for an overnight 5-9% profit

All his cronies would have gotten a nice payday.

But it's all legal though!!!

Thanks for the birthday wishes yesterday everyone. It feels like I got a bigger response here from people I haven't met in person compared to what I ever got from people I know on Facebook

Birthdays are important, regardless of how we individually celebrate! I hope you had a great day!!! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

Had some absolutely funky dreams last night. Vivid, memorable and absolutely bonkers.

Last time I drink sugar free lemonade before bed time.

Life alternates between the ๐Ÿซ  emoji and the ๐Ÿ˜ค emoji

Only ~~2~~ 3 wake ups so far. Not bad.

That reminds me. There's several Simon's at work. I'm very unaccustomed to having the same name as other people.

Ive only ever met 1 other person with my real name.

Feels odd to call someone else by my name.

I know some arabs that named their twin boys Jesus and Moses (in arabic) and then there's little brother Adam.

There have always been a bunch of Thomas's around for me. There's one guy at work also called thomas with the same initials as me, so that could get very confusing in the project management software

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The first three people I met with name, we're all in my grade 8 class. Thankfully our surnames had different initials.

I dropped my weird religious name and am left with a John Smith grade common white guy name.

That's a cruel name

They're all pretty normal names as far as names go. Wrong religion too.

Wayan Darren Jones?

Ooh okay. I always thought that biblical names we're especially weird.

Not familiar with names from other religions that much.

Almost sounds blissful. I'm the only person in Australia with my first name + last name combo. If you meet another person in Australia with my last name, I am 100% related to them ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I have my husband's surname. If I met someone else with that surname, we are related.
