Ughh. Had a long hot shower to try and manage pain. It's a huge waste of water and the least environmentally friendly habit I have but unfortunately it's not going anywhere.

Not a waste, needed for your wellbeing. Besides, Melbourne water storage is at 92% and Summerβs over, rainy autum and winter ahead. Thereβs no need to ration water right now. Any excess just gets released out of the dams.
That's good to know.
I envy people with those outdoor bathtubs they build a fire under
It's not a waste, it's treatment, it's quality of life care.

Yeah, it's unfortunately one of few tools I have
This is self-care, nothing to be judgy on yourself about π
I hope there is some respite for you, and relief. π
Thanks
Had to purchase a new phone unexpectedly today. Booooooo!!
Had an interview and was asked for references straight away.
Made really good falafel and dips for dinner.
Got a free coffee from local coffee stand cause they made an extra one and they know me.
Good day, no?
I read this and thought "winning" - as in you're winning! Incidentally reminded me of this stupid song
Slay, King π
what the hell π
It sparked a core memory, had to check I didn't imagine the song
I forgot I could laugh like this π
What happened to the phone and what did you replace it with?
Screen stopped responding to touch. Did all the troubleshooting and nothing.
Got a Pixel 7a and happy with it.
Told the wife to play the βblue eyes white dragonβ in her game of queens blood in ff7. Anyone else draw intense joy from annoying their spouse with dumb jokes? I LIVE for the disappointed grunt noise I got.
Ask if she has found the master ball yet, so she can 100% catch the legendary Pokemon near the end of the game?
Do you have a twinkle in your eye while joking?

I did it. My bowls are free. And neither of them was sacrificed to the Great Smash
Jesus fucking Christ. It only took trying every-fucking-thing, on and off throughout an entire fucking day
What finally worked?
Complete submersion in almost scalding water, and (as soon as it cooled enough to get my hands in the sink) a knife gently levered between the two bowls to break the seal all the way around.
It must have been very nearly airtight!
Oh man it must have been
Woohoo! What was the winning technique?!
Tell the bowls they were being very naughty.
Yes. This is the stuff.
Hallelujah sister. π
Now for fucksake put a piece of paper towel inbetween each one.

Harry Potter 3. Robert Hardy will always be Siegfried to me.
Three is probably the best of the films. At least in the sense of a self-contained, coherent story that doesn't rely on you knowing anything about the books.
Sadly, we lost Richard Harris.
Operation Increase Kiddos Chilli Tolerance Without Them Knowing continues to be a success, with tonight's meatball mix having a good swig of yucateco.
Bravo! Chilli is a vegetable, and we all know kids react to those ...
Good! Iβm so sick of hearing about this nuggets only bullshit. Unless the kid has ARFID or something, feed them food not pap.
I can see it now. In 20 years time, Melbourneβs thriving food scene will be all fancy nugget restaurants with a side menu of pouched yoghurt drinks.
