  • Well it's happened. A good friend of mine, who suffers from major anxiety from childhood emotional abuse, has finally caught covid. In spite of double masking everywhere outside the house and all possible precautions. These new variants are sneaky to the max. Take care out there peeps.

    • A mate if mine who is similar copped it recently and narrowed it down to a couple of interactions at shops (not masking but a pretty careful person)..if it helps they were sick for about 4 days then boom. Better. Well but of fatigue in the following week but just like the flu.

      I have started masking again on the trains etc.

  • This is the view from my accom tonight that I wished I could've stayed two nights at, but alas only one... The sound of the river and the clear, fresh air is so healing... could spend a whole week here soaking up the everything.

  • Sent some of Dad's ashes (about a teaspoon) to the sea at the local beach on his deathiversary, like I promised myself I would. Will bury some more in the garden later.
    Now treating myself to a breakfast at yet another local cafe.

  • I have discovered a problem with finally having a really comfy bed....I don't want to get up. It's cold out there.

    • I had the same problem a few weeks back when I finally upgraded my mattress.

    • a squishmallow pillow and you will be set for life

      • I have a pretty good pillow fort set up as it is - one of the great joys of single life after 25 years of sharing is being able to make my bed as cosy as I want it

  • It doesn't matter how much you've seen of the photos and accounts of the atomic bombs in Japan, the museum at Hiroshima still leaves a real impact on you. The crowds are huge though, I'm very glad I booked a ticket to enter the museum earlier (7:30-8:30) and take my time without navigating hordes of school students and tourists

    • I visited the museum last year. There were people in tears after going through the main section. There's really no sugar coating that very dark part of history, so impactful.

      When you come into the light and massive windows overlooking the peace park after the main section, it's a nice snap back into the somewhat peaceful present.

  • Picked up my MC prescription at lunch today and it might be too early to call whether it's the products or just a trick of the mind but things seem brighter already. I've taken myself out for dinner and I've booked a movie ticket after 👌

  • Got to my accom about half an hour ago, booked tickets for the peace memorial museum tomorrow, there's a cafe right downstairs which is perfect to get myself going asap in the morning. Think I can get it all done in time. I hate rushing through something so important, but it is what it is. I think 3.5-4 hours should hopefully be plenty for the museum and park.

  • Some bright spark decided to bring fish for lunch to work and warm it in the microwave.

    What's worse? They decided to eat lunch at their desk.

    I'm gonna spoke their water bottle with the crap from the dishwasher filter given a chance.

    • If they leave their container hanging around fill it with water and put it in the freezer. Hide the lid.

  • I've been watching video essays about movies and the thought occurred to me

    A Christmas Carol is a time travel movie.

  • Too warm with the oodie on, but too cold without it (even though I have a shirt, and two hoodies on).

    I've noticed my apartment is weird; the balcony faces north, overlooking the alley, but no view due to the apartment building next door. It is also a taller building than mine, so no sun can hit my balcony until spring/summer when the Earth is closed and tilted appropriately.

    Makes for too cold winters and too hot summers. But! I've been approved for URGS, so I don't have to stress about the electricity bills piling up, all aid off now. And since the Anko brand portable heater carked it last year and hasn't been used, our electricity consumption has gone down by 7kwh on average. That little Anko heater was a fucking power guzzler.
