Candid shots of a few of the crew. Their dry food is on the ground so the crazy lady doesn't throw it out. ๐Ÿฑ

Edit: I changed today. I was having another stress fest about work. I went and laid down and had one of those "self talk" sessions.

I've been taking work way too seriously. In general. I've been giving everything to my job and left nothing for myself.

Since I reduced the medication I've noticed the lack of energy after work because I'm not hyped up. So I'm sitting there, not knowing what to do with myself. Even music is hard. Very hard. So I've been going to bed very early.

I don't need 10 hours of sleep. I just have nothing to do because I'm completely spent.

Because everything has been devoted to work.

On double the dose I was a workaholic automaton.

This is the 3rd week since the reduction. Significant personality changes noted. More relaxed and happier to banter with people. Body is less tensed up.

Being content. Smiling. Laughing.

I wonder what else will change.

Carrot cake at work today. I may have accidentally eaten three slices.

Carrot cake is irresistible. You are forgiven.

This is Quentin. He averages one thought every fifteen minutes

They're so alarmingly relaxed around humans, it's so weird seeing wild animals that never developed a fear of big scary predators!

Mrs B convinced my not to pull the trigger on the iphone 16 pro deals. My phone still works fine so shes convinced to me ride it out and just accept that you'll have to pay more to replace mine when it actually dies (or develops a fault I cant deal with). If I end up paying 2.5k for a new iphone cause of trumps tarrifs I'm gonna be spewing but I guess thats future me's problem.

Tide was in, swans are close to the shore, the water here is so gentle on the beach, no waves

just a few wisps of cloud in the sky

My daughter's having some friends over next week for some birthday drinks. These are her 4 closest pals and it makes my heart swell the love and bond they all share as she is an only child. They are the most loveliest, responsible mixed bag of young people I've ever met.

The man and I will be in the backyard with a bonfire going roasting spuds and marshmallows because I don't feel comfortable about leaving them on their own considering 3 of them are slightly under the drinking age. (And yes, I do have permission from their parents).

Also I'll be making them some cocktails but they will be a little on the weaker side. They won't know that though.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I suggest Black Russians. They don't taste like lolly water and you can dilute them quite a bit and still feel like you are drinking booze.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

That's a good idea. Thanks

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I remember the first cocktail a friend's parent made for me at 16, some Crem de Menthe abomination. I loved it

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Maybe a grasshopper?

My first was a scotch & coke in a coffee mug made by my brother's girlfriend at one of my siblings birthdays. I think I was 15.

As responsible as you are you're still allowed to bring up embarrassing childhood stories at the worst time.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

Of course. And I do.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

of course they are lovely and responsible, they have a good role model in you ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿฑ

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

Nawww.

I never let any of them go home on their own. They either get picked up or I'll take them home because safety is so important to me. In return they shower me with love.

My kid will say "You can't go home at this hour on the bus. My mother will have kittens". ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Love that you're creating a safe, respectful environment for your kid and friends, that's really awesome.

So what kind of cocktails? Is the good old fruit tingle done?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

The good old fruit tingle is on the list! Cosmopolitans, illusions, tequila sunrise. Tbh they'll probably only have 1 or 2 cocktails each and then stick to vodka & Solo.

We just had a network outage at work for half hourโ€ฆ so I used it as an opportunity to apply for a job that showed up in my personal inbox and looked interesting, lol.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

What a shock. Those people are normally so reliable.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Third timeโ€™s the charm. They came at time agreed SHARP!

Tooth yeeted. Thank goodness. A little worried about what the pain will be like and hoping it heals without complications but fingers crossed this gets it sorted.
