I just wanted to reiterate how nice it is to not be feeling hurt/pain about my break up anymore, I’m sure there will be moments but I’m just feeling so overall positive and happy. I’m feeling ready to put myself out there and start dating again and just go with the flow.

I’m super proud of how much healing and learning I’ve done in the last year, I’ve changed so much and definitely for the better. I’ve made more friends, I work hard to prioritise my social life and to keep those relationships going so that an actual relationship is just a supplement to my life.

I’m excited to get my adhd assessment done and my diagnosis soon and to keep learning. I’ll head back to therapy once I have my tax return and just keep trying to make some positive steps to be my best.

When was the last time you cleaned your windows including the fly screen and around the frame? You would be surprised at the filth and the dust. The soapy water was black scrubbing (gently) my fly screen. And the filth around the window frames was black too.

I don’t think of myself as a dirty person but clearly I let this go for too long.

sooo…from memory, there’s someone here (or the old DT?) who is good at crocheting?

I have a friend/colleague who has been off work sick for weeks, and in her boredom is taking up crocheting, but is not really a crafty person.

I’m hoping to find some recommendations for a beginners book I can buy her, and maybe some basic supplies. I am NOT a craft person (lack of skill, not interest), so any guidance gratefully received.

Also, a reminder, COVID hasn’t gone away and can still be VERY serious.

I spent a good chunk of yesterday making a vanilla slice to take to dinner at mr. Omoikiri’s friend’s house tonight. Cut it all up, arranged it back in the tray. As we were running out the door, I asked him to grab the slice that was on the kitchen bench while I grabbed his drinks and my bag. Got to the front door and he’s got the slice alright. He’s also got his switch and his volleyball and his keys chucked in top of it, squashing the custard out of half of them and ruining the icing on the others.

He’s lucky he’s so hot because it took every bit of my self control to not dump his ass right on the spot.

Mini Peelers and I baked a walnut loaf with the walnuts we bought from the farmers market. It’s the first time we’ve ever made one so we’re calling it a success!

Picture shows partially sliced loaf shaped cake on a white square plate.

Has anyone heard from upyourmerricreek (I think that was their name) are they here with a different name? Haven’t heard hair nor hide from them since

I just stopped by the Subaru dealership on my way home and had an in-person look at the size/height of the Outbacks. I think it might be just about what I’m looking for, moving from an XR6 to something a bit bigger and taller without going full SUV. I’ve been looking at the XT Touring and maybe the XT Touring 50th anniversary special edition. Could be a winner, maybe once I’m back from my holiday I’ll look more seriously.

Then I just gotta make it purple 😈 💜

Lettering on cross-stitch project for friend’s birthday completed. Will continue the border bit after making dins.

Receipt printer at my wife’s workplace refuses to print. Error light is on.

She starts panicking. So I stroll over and attempted troubleshooting, then rebooted the printer. The report she was trying to print comes out moments later.

That reminds me, a friend’s shop a few years ago had a problem where one of their POS terminals refuses to talk to the EFTPOS machine. Again, a quick reboot of both devices dealt with the problem.

Yayyyyy stress flu incoming. Chills and sore throat. yaaaayyyyy

e: okay I have a feeling I’ll have to call in sick on monday whether I like it or not

Several people brought small children (and one baby) to see the almost 3 hour, very loud Mission Impossible. They were predictably loud almost immediately during every semi quiet scene and no efforts were made to quiet them.

People… what a bunch of bastards. I need to remember to go see movies at obscure hours on weekdays.

Re cricket. Stokes is out.

My first full-price appointment with my newest therapist is coming up this week. You’d think after 15 sessions I’d be more confident that these sessions were value for money. 🤔

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once is a movie unlike any I’ve ever seen before. It was very creative and thought-provoking. Would recommend.
