Mickey says "zzzzz"
Still punching out chillies late june!
had to clear a metric fucktonne of oxalis (again) to find them heh.
I guess the great thing about these things being near the coast is there's little frost.
So I went to see friends last night, I always look forward to seeing the wife of the couple, she's becoming a good friend and I hope I am a friend to her. The guy is a childhood friend of my husband.
And the guys grew up being the smartest person at school and they are both pretty successful in their sci or math respective fields.
here's the thing, the men both treat me like an idiot, or should I say, they both expend quite a bit of energy to keep me in my place
and I really don't give a shit,
but I noticed the guy treats his wife just as poorly as he treats me, worse since it's all the time. At first I thought it was just explaining a difficult scientific subject but it's everything she does.
She's a highly educated and experienced lawyer who is fluent in 3 languages. She's no idiot. And even if she was you don't talk to people like that.
It just saddens me.
and doesn't surprise me, rude men tend to hang with other rude men
all I can do is continue be a friend with her
Those guys sound very unpleasant to hang around with.
I hate people who look down on others and do that, itβs yucky and demeaning.
They probably bask in their own superiority and have known nothing else through their life and thus treat everyone else like that.
Not much you can do about it since one of them are married to your friend but itβs yucky.
You're witnessing a dick swinging competition.
But I have no dick???
He's swinging his dick in the presence of another male

Insecurity can be repugnant.
I agree and insecurity is crazy. This guy has a phd in sciences. What would it take to make him feel secure.
I suppose I can answer that. Controlling and keeping intelligent women in their place.
So why doesn't he marry uneducated women? I suppose because it makes him feel smart to control a smart woman and he wouldn't feel smart to control an uneducated woman.
Always, always there's an undercurrent of physical intimidation in these cases. π‘ It's subtle tho.

I see now why people avoid going into programming π
Bleh. After yesterdayβs nap I somehow managed to strain or pull something and some area of my neck or back shoulder is sore which unfortunately is leading to pain when I move my head.
Taken some Panadol and nurofen but I hope itβs only an minor strain and not anything serious.
Itβs a day of keeping warm and resting today.
Apparently Spotify has launched a new cheaper tier. It's billed annually and not monthly. Works out to be the same price as it was before they upped the price again last month. $155 a year ($12.99 a month). The only difference besides the annual billing is that it doesn't include audiobooks
I don't care for the audiobook thing, especially considering the audiobooks aren't unlimited. So if I can scrounge up the annual fee, I might switch
i want to stay in bed but i need to pee what do
Teleport your bladder to an alternate dimension
instructions unclear, urine in abdomen, sepsis commences
So much for the taco truck, alas.
This is the answer.
If you get up and go potty mummy will give you a reward.
mother i have urinated into the toilet bowl and only the toilet bowl, please present commendation
Good job! π
much appreciated mother
It's cool outside but it's sunny so this is manageable for me.
The sun is so beautiful today I will be outside doing some more repotting.π
I was gonna go places and do things today, but then I realised bed is warm and decided "nah"
I actually feel alive today. It's a Christmas miracle. Might even give the floors a lick later for something exciting to do.
The sore throat I was developing seems to be nearly gone already, without having developed into anything too severe. The cold also progressed to my nose, where it has managed nothing more dramatic than making one nostril slightly runny. I feared much worse.
You know the house is too cold when a shower makes your fingers & toes feel like they caught fire. Surprised the bathmat hasnβt grown moss. Must finish this mortgage paperwork and escape!
cold. Bill Cat crawled in the big humans bed
Went to Missy Higgins at the Palais last night, probably one of the best gigs I've been to in the last 10 years. 13 year old me and 33 year old me were stoked.
The aliens are in control of the daily thread! Well, they probably know what they're doing.
In other news the cat is cuddly. What a baby
Cat tax please π
