I have absolutely got pathologic rejection sensitivity of some description. The way my stomach turned just now because I noticed a specific person had unfollowed me on Instagram is crazy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thereโ€™s lots of good reasons people unfollow, eg grew appart, or they are going through some life events, cutting back on social media, etc. When you unfollow someone, do you expect them to feel the same? Might help with the perspective. Meaning, do you think itโ€™s ok for you to unfollow someone but donโ€™t like it if others do the exact same?

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh totally, I have no issue coming up with a hundred perfectly reasonable explanations. It's the initial sting of rejection -- rational or otherwise -- I can't seem to avoid ;)

Nooooo Tom Hawkins is calling it quits :(

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

That's big news!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dusty too. It seems to be the day for it.

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

Yeah, the Dusty one is interesting for sure.

I wonder if he'll go home or get lured to the Suns?

It's the man's birthday on Monday so I'm thinking about making him a giant chocolate mousse, like in a trifle bowl, instead of a cake.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That sounds legendary ๐Ÿ˜‹

Chocolate mousse is a worthy birthday cake. You could even decorate with sprinkles on top.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Nah, he's not into fancy extras just a bit of whipped cream on top.

Got a referral for a CT, a blood test, and if they don't show anything, then an MRI.

GP also suggested shingles, and to return if I develop a rash, especially because it's my face. Amazing lol.

She's new to my clinic, but literally the best, kindest experience I've had. So thorough, and intelligent, and it feels like she cares. I'll defo be returning to her.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

So lucky to find a doctor like that. Follow her if she ever changes practices. Finding a good GP is a needle in a haystack.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Itโ€™s so nice when you find a good dr. Hope youโ€™re feeling better soon

I got very lucky this morning, had an incredibly clear run on the Eastern/Alexandra Pde even though I didn't leave when I normally consider is the best time to avoid the worst of it.

That was then cancelled by spilling coffee all over the centre console ๐Ÿฅฒ I wiped up as much as I could but it got in some nooks and crannies and I'll have to use a little pin or something to try cleaning them out... Sigh

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Meanwhile, I got held up by a 6-car pileup around the Elgar Rd area at 6:30-ish this morning, that was fun...

Once past it though the Eastern and Alexandra all the way through to Royal Pde was a breeze, as usually happens once you're past a choke point!

And I see there was another accident around Doncaster Rd a bit later too. Not a fun morning for the Eastern (but is it ever?).

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Ha, maybe that was why it was so cruisey near the Alexandra Pde exit. Usually by 7:15 it's chockers but it was completely smooth sailing the whole way - guess everyone was held up earlier! I'm lucky I get on at Chandler Hwy but I do have to go all the way to Elliot Ave and through to Epsom Road. Today's only jam was the lead up to Flemington Rd.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The universe balances itself out, often to our detriment. Spilled coffee sucks and is totally annoying.

The foam carpet cleaner from woolies is pretty good though, and gets rid of any smells

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I'll have to give it a go. Luckily not much landed on the carpet but I've definitely been reminded to fast track getting seat covers

Morning all! So now Elder minipeeler has tested positive for covid โ˜น๏ธ Being stuck at home with a covid sufferer who repeatedly left his room without warning hasn't worked out very well for him. Luckily he just seems to have a slight sniffle, but as an introvert he is more than happy to stay in his room with a supply of snacks and drinks and tech ๐Ÿ˜†. Miniest has some cold and flu symptoms but tested negative, but I'm keeping her in her room with a similar supply of drinks and tech. Mr P has pledged to stick his head out the window for a smoke if he needs one and not leave his room at all today, but it's a bit bloody late for that. I'm still testing negative and have no symptoms, but I have constantly been wearing a mask since Sunday and being as meticulous as I can.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's hard to avoid in your home, you've done very well!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I hope your eldest gets well soon <3

It's not much of a silver lining, but you've just won any argument that happens in the next six months or so.

"Yeah, well you gave the kids covid by walking through the bloody living room every five minutes!"

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

I'd be mad not to use it!

I ate chocolate cake at my first meal for today.

I feel no shame!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

this is normal breakfast food in Belgium*

  • lived for many years in the land o' chocolate

Best part of being an adult!

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

I reckon that's the start of a good day.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've done that more than once ๐Ÿ˜†what type of chocolate cake was it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

hmm chocolate sponge with a gooey topping.

I chucked it into the microwave for about 10-15 seconds as well.

You shouldn't feel shame! That's not shameful, it's WINNING.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

There is no shame! We're adults, if we want to eat cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, then that is our goddamn right!

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

One of the boys learnt how to say 'more'. Not just the word but the meaning as well. We've also been teaching the boys a bit of sign language because apparently kids can pick up on it quicker and it's good to know anyway.

In reality, signing 'more' allows him to ask for more food whilst his mouth is already full

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

is "more" open palm over mouth? I think daycare taught my kid something, but they neglected to tell us what they were teaching.

'More' was actually my first word ๐Ÿคฃ

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"No" was my first word. "You want ice cream?" "No"

When I meant yes haha

Temu day today - all 4 packages marked on board for delivery. Many sewing notions are included, I am looking forward to finding out what sort of quality they are. Especially the impulse purchased embroidery kits, they could be either really good or really bad! I will also now have way more sticky tape than I probably need, as after ordering I found three rolls in a drawer I didn't realise I had, so I should now have a lifetime supply.
