Eating at a sandwich place outside. This person is standing βawayβ from the eating area to have her cigarette, but the wind is blowing the smoke smell right where Iβm eating. Gross.
The sandwich was A+ though, so satisfied.
So disrespectful π I smoke (on and off, quitting is hard π) and tend to walk away if I want a smoke. As in, waaaay away. Around a corner, in an unoccupied alley. If I'm walking in a group, I'll walk behind everyone so they're not walking in my smoke (wind dependant). And it's wild people don't care about wind direction, it's not hard to stay downwind of the public. If there's no bins, I flick the butt out and put it in a small bag within my bag, I never litter them. Or slap a nicotine patch on and wait until you're home/take some gum.
Shameful behaviour, makes the rest of us addicts look real bad lol

I think it's time for an afternoon nap π΄
Godspeed
Felt like the pits at 7:30am but a bit more sleep, water, Nurofen and sweating it out and I am getting better again. The sun is absolutely helping. It's an automatic immune booster.
Airing the house out to clear the cloud of sickly miasma that's built up over the week. Chugging so much liquid. Please let this be the beginning of the end, I can't take any more of the coughing and sinus headaches. Was coughing to the point of almost throwing up yesterday. My neighbours must hate me π¬
I am doing it. I am going outside in search of sunshine, ibuprofen and proper sudafed.
Put a cat to sleep yesterday. Feel like I'm being a massive fuckoff inconvenience for booking in some annual for the next couple days, yet I know it'll be worse if I go in.
Not sure what the point of this comment was, but fuck it, sometimes you've gotta vent.
Iβm so sorry
Take the time off without guilt, the loss and grief are not small things even if others might think it shouldn't matter. It's better to give yourself the time and space than to force yourself through. Condolences for your loss.
Really sorry to hear that. It's rough.
You just lost a member of your family. Take time off to grieve and vent all you need to
It's the hardest decision to make. Vent away, we understand. And take the days off too. Grief is not limited to losing human friends and family, these furry buggers are more family than my blood relatives.
My condolences β₯
So sorry to hear that. Lots of hugs. Good on you for taking the time.

this is one of my fave movie soundtracks, the music is so haunting while at the same time it lives and breathes . It evokes all the feels. Revenant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMb8JesOrYw&list=PLRW80bBvVD3VyhK9FrR3yr7facvJSoNWg

Oops, showing my age.
Heading home today from my house and dog sitting duties. I thought I was going to be back in a few months for longer but it seems like my parents are going to cancel their upcoming Vegas trip.
This does open the door of possibility for me... I could go somewhere. I shall ponder. Ponder I shall.
Treat yourself :)
Go to Norway!
Gratitude thread :)
My only plans today are to meal prep and watch something. Uni can wait until I get more sleep.
Something real basic today.
Coffee and food! Grateful to have those things right now.
The sun!!! THE SUN!!! Oh so glorious today, a tonic for the soul

Anti-gratitude thread.
Waking up at 6 once a week. Can't wait until I get a full-time job and will be in a routine where I can do this everyday. Alas, two years of study left.
The sun is gone :(
My anxiety and paranoia kept me up until 7:30. I'm happy I didn't sleep until 4pm or something stupid and impossible to recover from, but this still sucks
I donβt think the shoes I wore last night are recoverable.

My nose and throat feel like someone has taken to them with a scrubbing brush. And so much snot. But I have changed out of PJs (into trackies and oodie). Working up to a walk outside in the sun
πΌThe problem's plain to see
Too much technology

hurblurr technology bad and nicolas tesla was a witch
So we finally have a bedroom door. (previous apartment didn't have one)
Except we can't close it.
The balls of fur totalling 15kg would scream at the door to be let in, once let in, they would park themselves on my wife and I, one on her side, one on top in between us, one on my side - trapping us in place.
