Digging through decluttering crap… I found some old Warhammer stuff.

I shook some paints back to usability but the key ones have dried up. I don’t really want to go back to it anyway

Has anyone seen The Big Lebowski?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Yes! Up there in my fav top 10 films! Every actor is amazing in it, it's funny and sad in all the right ways, it's a bit weird which is great!

10/10 definitely recommend

How about that 10-45mm rain forecast for tomorrow. I bet you it won't get past 15mm.

I wish I could at least go back to skincare and exercise but it all feels too hard and too late.

spoilerI’m not safe to be taking local walks without carrying something like pepper spray (not kidding - there have been incidents) and it feels impossible to do more than scrub my face with water/bar soap in the shower.

There are home exercises (all of which I know) but I can’t tell you how much discipline it took the first time around to maintain something so tedious… plus now I can’t get enough calories and I’ve deconditioned to the point I risk injury on starting again. Feels like I can barely move.

I would love to move away somewhere else, get a shit ton of therapy and then try to salvage what’s left of my life.

I’m now desperate enough to be looking into disability specific housing (if it’s possible for me to get it) but deep down I know I don’t want that arrangement. I’m just desperate to move away and income is a serious problem with that.

Would you benefit from having a support worker?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 21 hours ago

Unfortunately there’s not much they can do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

this is a good idea

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Without giving too much away where the fuck are you that you can't walk down the street? North, West, East? If you're in the West or North, I'll spot ya. Nothing gets passed in me.

Sorry, don’t want to post anything doxable. But my area has Problems

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I know you don't want to dox but shit I grew up in Broady and live in Melton. Fuck everyone here wants to help you atleast walk down the street which is your right.

DT walking group to get Melba out of the house?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

I’ve kind of stopped wanting to go out by now. Even seeing known shitty people sucks and I’m over it.

I just stay in and keep a crowbar handy.

When you've had just a little too much catnip

catnip story

years ago when I was living Europe I grew a whole heap of catnip from seed for my cat Oscar. After a few months I planted it out in the backyard in a big planter.

The next day when I went to look it was gone, eaten down to the dirt.

hedgehogs, it was hedgehogs that ate it 🌿🌿🌿🦔🦔🦔

HEDHOG CUTE

Sorry, old internet skit.

I'm sure Oscar got many other treats and love.

Poor Mr Woof is freaking out with me gone from the house ☹️ I'm looking at him on the camera and he's been running in and out looking for me for over 2 hours now. Which at least means he is getting used to using the dog door.
