Flying home tonight. This time tomorrow I'm gonna have Mickey in my arms.

Poured myself a nice lil drink in my special wine glass (a present from my sister who died a few years ago).. popped it down and sat down to watch our team run out in the NRLW. Second half....and caught it with my hand and smashed it all over the floor.

I know it's just stuff but am currently devestated. Fuck you grief it's been 10 years and now I am in tears because I'll never get another gift from her. Or watch another footy game with her. Or anything.

Fuck cancer.

I'm sorry, that's awful! I wonder if it is worth saving the glass and doing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi
Or keep the largest shard and paint something meaningful on it, then displaying or framing it?
I'm sorry that happened 💜
- Too many pieces for kintsugi but thanks for your suggestion. It was a pretty blue glass with a wave pattern and I think I will keep a shard and try to make a little art with it. 💚
oh no, always hard breaking something like that.
I'd have to say the studspud's idea seems like a good one.
That sucks. I'd look it at this way, atleast you used it and enjoyed and that's better than in a cupboard where it didn't get looked at. Still sucks though. Hugs 🫂
- Yeah I know. I am a firm believer in using things you love. Thanks 🫂
I understand how you feel I have very little from my mother and when I broke one of her things it hurt.
I hope you feel better ❤️
- Thanks. I think I was due for a big sob. Calmer now. Thanks for listening
It’s ok. It’s not just stuff. I get what you’re going through and it’s really painful. We’re here to listen.
The wineglass was the last physical gift you had from her but your love for her is forever.
(Edit: sorry if that’s invalidating, it’s meant to be a comforting thought)
- Not invalidating at all. Thank you I needed that reminder. Hugs

Cbf'd cooking (again) crew signing in.

Let me introduce you to my friends can of chilli tuna and bag of frozen veggies
- And microwave rice to soak up the chilli oil.
Spoonful of peanut butter/cup of Ensure checking in
Leftover fried rice did me good
i made a simple red chicken curry and rice, enough for 2 days
also have loads of dinners frozen I can defrost
Cheese and avocado toastie, small bit of left over chicken, and couple of baby cucumbers on the side. Followed by punnet of raspberries.
I cut a potato into quarters to microwave, to accompany a frozen serve of stew.
Fish n chips is the go here
Bought quiche heated in microwave present and correct.

Asked ExMrP what his choice of birthday cake is and he chose the Basque Cheesecake. Of course he did! So the plan for today is to go shop for supplies and ingredients, make the cheesecake, get the kids to wrap the gifts so that's out of the way, take the kids to a park where elder can practice skating and I can do steps, and get shit together for the work/school week, in no particular order.

Hello friends

After planning a lazy nothing day recovering from being sick I got a notification on my phone steam trains were running at our local station. So I got up and got ready so we could ride the train. I'll need to keep an eye on thebusofdoomfsx to see if he makes a video on it

my watch has been adjusted for dst 👍

Mmmmm, sleepy

Same. Nap time after feeding the strays.

I took a walk before and got further than usual. Thankfully not too many people were around and no hairy situation happened. But wow it was muggy out there. Feeling a little unwell from the warmth and exertion.

It’s raining now so the plants and I are grateful.

I’m thinking perhaps I should just take a break from social minefields tonight and play some Minecraft. It gets a little depressing on singleplayer and I never follow through on plans for builds but perhaps I’ll do some mining with something on in the background. Have a chill Sunday.

My computer is getting full because I’ve stupidly been putting things on C instead of D drive without realising. I can move the bigger things like pictures and games over to free up space, I’m just a bit worried as doing that in the past has created problems.

Well done on the walk. Small wins are big wins.
- I wish I could do it more. Hopefully things will change for the better

Why am I awake? Darn it, I agreed to take the Minipeelers to the skatepark early.

Add me in to the no sleep gang. Ugh.

Adults losing their minds over dst. Priceless. Exception if you have small children. That can get a little tricky.

Feels like a “First world problem” for sure.

I’m off to the market. Open to requests

4 calling birds, 3 french hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Omit the pear tree if you wish as there's one on the street corner that I can re-purpose and it could be difficult to carry along with your own purchases.
thai chicken sausages, a selection of ripe exotic fruit,

wtf, wake up, look at clock, oh, it's 5.30, i can get up , have brekkie, give brekkie to cats, o thos efew dishes I missed last night

um, why the fuck is it do dark and why is the mechanical clock reading 4.45

ugh, it's the shortest day of the year

I am going back to bed

I hate that being laid up for health reasons and feeling uncomfortable with the local area/meetups makes me so unhealthily online. I wish that there were other ways to communicate with online friends than social media, and that I had more freedom to touch grass.

I would like to eventually return to martial arts for fitness or sign up to formal art classes but right now both of those goals aren’t something I can manage yet.

I’d like to take more frequent walks but here it’s rough so it isn’t always that safe.

beach

🎵 Never bang your ex boyfriends daaaaaad 🎵

That has been in my head all week.

Omg another CXG fan!!!
- Absolutely!! Binged the whole show a while back and listen to the soundtrack so much!! Maybe have been belting out "you ruined everything, you stupid bitch" at work the other day.
  Fuck it, I need to rewatch it.

Where’s this beautiful sunny day?

Never trust a forecast warm day in spring. Usually code for shitty north winds. Caught me out again too.
- I had a whole day planned but it’s not super exciting out there.

Sky pretty. Should've gone to bed.

Spring has sort of begun.

It’s clean eating time again.

Went around with a garbage bag throwing all the half open bags of chips and all the other crap that can’t be donated.

I’m looking forward to it, but I remember how moody I get the first couple of weeks. It’ll be worth it though.

Good night all ❤️

Edit: they're digging up a roundabout across the road from house all night. Laaaaaaaaame.

hard quiz

50/50!!!!!!! yay me as some were guesses

Tbh it feels way more normal for it to be an hour later than it has been...

I blew my nose and my ear whistled

that's not good is it

It could just be the pressure equalising.
- I think so, there is no pain so my ear drums are good

I have to move. It's four hours until the NRLW grand final. I shall clean/declutter until 3:45. Whatever I get done will.be fine. Just move dammit.

garden beckons 😊

Um ok. I thought I’d just play some Minecraft on my computer.

I just want something single player that I can play offline.

Check out GOG.com
- Thanks! (Sorry to complain so much. Things are just going really downhill)
  Edit: I’m wondering if it might also be a good idea to get another PS2 and buy secondhand games. I regret getting rid of my old one.

Hahaha it's so fucking cold here wtf Perth 😭😭

ugh i gotta set the vcr clock again

I wish my car updated itself.
- And now you just reminded me of the mechanical clocks and weather station
And reprogram the cat auto feeder
- And lose my backup alarm clock? Never!
  But i do gotta tweak the roomba

it's late

good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘😘😘
