House now is possession of a calendar of semi clad firemen with cats. Not my fault.

Sorry for the trauma dumping yesterday. I feel a bit less shit(mentally) today I think.

Physically I feel like complete shit lmao. Might be coming down with something. We'll see.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

You need to let it out sometimes. Itโ€™s better than bottling it all in.

It can really help knowing you were able to speak and talk about it even if nothing changes.

The sun is beautiful outside. Maybe take 5 mins to go outside and soak it up a little.

Hope youโ€™re feeling better soon.

Dog revoked his spot in the sun to lie to the shade. Spot stolen!

My sister and my aunt decided to get cinnamon rolls, so I am awaiting those.

Hopefully the rest of the day will be enjoyable.

Something just clicked for me with this "raygun" contraversy: Its the outfit. I mean the dancing is... whatever look I'm not one to judge anyones dancing I still cant figure out "Big Fish Little Fish Cardboard Box". But the green and gold getup is OK for a a cricketer or something, but just embarassing for a dancing routine!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Someone mentioned that to me as well, really did look like a part of the cricket team.

It was interesting to say the least but I donโ€™t think it was up to the same standard as her opponents.

I'm feeling like I need to reduce my tetra-pak footprint. Has anyone tried one of those "make your own oat milk" powder things ...?

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

I have a feeling diy oat milk isn't too difficult.

The morning sun is out. Iโ€™ve taken the deck chair and Iโ€™m outside while having lots of toast!

Coffee incoming soon too.

Been awhile since Iโ€™ve been able to do this.

Edit. And what giveth, it taketh away too. Just dropped one slice of toast :(

It's just bizarre to me, who/whom decides what is acceptable risk?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't know. I hope it's scientific based and not some bureaucrats with a glass going "looks clear enough. Who wants first taste?".

Anyway Shazza from the Netherlands says it's ok.

It's like holding swimming races in the Yarra and expecting the swimmers flesh not to slough away from the pollution ๐Ÿ˜‚ but way worse with all the ancient sewage lines flowing into the Seine, the catacombs, illegal dumping by companies etc. ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข

Anyone involved in support groups for chronic illness /pain? I have zero support group but feel validated seeing posts on instagram that mirror my experience.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Still got a lot of stuff piled around in boxes and was too tired to tackle it last weekend, so I will resist the lure of the beach and work on it today.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah, that's a wet weather activity

On my street, the massed chorus of lawnmowers, whippersnippers and blowers has just started up. Right now it's fairly minor, but I predict it will reach a crescendo later on today.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I just came to post this, hit 11:30am and suddenly the chorus of lawn mowers and gardening equipment began!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow thatโ€™s dedication on a cold Sunday morning

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I suspect there are bbqs planned.

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

I'll take the kids on a other ride with the bicycle users group today if everything works out.

We went on one a few months ago and haven't made it since from a mix of the weather, being sick, and other plans.

They're a good group so I don't want to be one and done with them

Iโ€™ve just caught up on the Australian breakdancer. Itโ€™s so very bad. The sprinkler and the play school kangaroo hop moves were great, but the sprayed roach was glorious. I watched on repeat laughing. 5 stars.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

so 5 hoppits

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I was overwhelmed by cringe and couldnโ€™t watch the whole thing.

It's far too cold to get out of bed and look, so I'll take your word for it

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

Awake after some very strange but weirdly satisfying dreams (ok one brief nightmare at 12 about escaping my dad - but felt good to remind myself I'm quite safe here and have choices)

Feeling really good after yesterday, I think it must be the extra sun exposure. I take plenty of vit D but there must be something else about the sun that's just really good for the body...

Don't want to be up though, so I shall just snuggle in bed feeling grateful and secure reflecting on all the good things I've got
