Was accused of being drunk yesterday... 'My dear, you are ugly, and whatโs more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.'Not the best thing to say to your mum but I didn't coin it.

You know what would be nice?
some chocolate bikkies, some dinosaur lollies, endless cups of tea
and a one month holiday in venice or naples where I can sleep as much as i want, take baths, read books and not cook, sandwiches in my room is perfectly ok cos looking for restaurants can get fucked . maybe after a week i'll go for a walk to a museum
I'd settle for a weekend camping by the beach tbh.
that would also be nice ๐
re restaurants, i do not care if i go to the same cafe on the corner every day for a month and i do not care if it aint haute cuisine, i just want good/edible tucker without food poisoning
Iโve been cafe homeless ever since the owner sold it off and the entire staff was replaced.
Gave them a shot and the coffee was yucky so I never went back.
Shame too because it was so close to home.
TIL Woolies don't have prawn crackers and some people don't know what they are.
whaaaat, it's 2024 and you don't have prawn crackers?. When I said that I may have been joking but also serious.
I just checked: confirmed. Woolies doesn't have them. They're in aisle 7 or my local Coles, though!
you mean the ones in the big blue box that look kinda like giant toenails and you deep fry them? Moorabbin does.
Coles have them.
Yeah that's where I ended up getting them from
you mean krupuk ?
They're the ones
I'm sick as a dog and His Lordship is in full pantshit mode over his ADHD assessment. Fun times in the haus today
Oh, thatโs no good. Hope youโre feeling better soon and he feels calmer. Stress can be catching. Is he doing the assessment today?
it's kinda a multi stage process, there's a test, then a psych, then another test, then there's things for me to fill out for the outsider perspective, he's digging up old report cards, all that fun stuff.
All that stuff is why I donโt have a formal Dx Re ASD. No, you cannot speak to anyone who knew me as a kid, they are dead, demented, or persona non.
Same re ASD. And I donโt feel like forking out the $3k or so for testing, either
E: not that I donโt think getting a diagnosis would be valuable, Iโm just over drs appointments etc
yeah I didn't bother because 1) wont change shit and 2) anyone I mention being ASD to universally goes DUUUUUUHHHHHHHH
ADHD test is required for His Lordship though because it's hit a point where its started doing damage. He doesn't have to put up with that nonsense.
well they're added weight, but they're not specifically required. The biggest roadblock is the fucking expense, jesus.
