I can’t believe I’m saying this. I’m running out of tealight candles.
Finally the cleaning job is done and I’m tired.
Need to fix a few more things, had someone who came to help me today, grateful but missed most of the footy :(
Still riding high from venturing into the city yesterday. Can’t wait to move closer to civilisation. Soon. Very soon.
@Gibsonisafluffybutt @Seagoon_ How far out are you at the moment?
Pretty moon out tonight, if you need something to howl at.
Did you know the gap between us and the moon, is roughly the size of 30 earths? That blew me away when I heard it.
The clear nights have been lovely if a little cold :)
Very cold. Gotta love old houses with no insulation 🙃
I love how the moon looks when it’s low on the horizon. Unfortunately living in built up area, can’t see it this way. It’s a rare treat when I’ve been on holiday and had the opportunity for an uninterrupted view, and happen to get the timing right and remember to look at the sky. Urban living sure has it’s advantages, but the downside is loss of connection to nature.
Well, I just watched this entire thing, mesmerising…
How is it that I’m obsessed with art right now but can’t buckle down and practice. Am I stuck somewhere or is it just struggling with pressure/focus 🤨
(I am practicing, cross hatching with a pen. It’s just hard to stick at.)
it just takes hours and hours of study and practice,
for example, sometimes I do calligraphy for presents, I will study their name, get a nice translation, choose characters, choose the materials and style . All that still takes hours.

Dang it
I slept like a log last night, from having finally released so much stress. Now I can start tackling other parts of my life…
Wouldn’t life be so much easier if I could just hire a bloke on Fiverr to fix it?
You can, it’s called a personal assistant, it just takes more money than a fiver
Someone just help me coordinate all these decisions and also please serve me breakfast in bed so I feel like I have enough energy to go plant out the seedlings I bought 10 days ago
I must be crazy, I enjoy planning, organising and doing things. I’m also really good at it. ( yes, I discuss, take suggestions and act on them and delegate if I have to )
😀😐 just got another insight
Day 5 of the 4L chilli ferment and all is well! Moved it to the back bathroom shower incase it explodes but so far lots of little bubbles when you shake it a little which is great (means I didn’t fuck up the salt / water ratio which is a relief).
Spilt some brine on my hand and hoo boy… brutal.
Right. Morning work complete.
I’ve seen the same few minutes of several Dawn Services this morning. You’d be amazed how much more people like your friendly neighbourhood trumpet player on Anzac Day 🎺
I am finally taking advice from here and getting out of my relationship.
The boyfriend is doing exams. I didn’t initiate anything for a few days. Heard nothing from him. Couldn’t even fit in a five second text message in his day or a five minute phone call. It’s like the relationship didn’t exist. He knows how much consistency means to me as I have told him countless times. I understand being busy but totally disappearing off of the face of the Earth and me getting worried is not fun. I thought I was being unreasonable but I have needs and wasn’t asking for a lot? My birthday is soon and watch him not even send me a message then as well.
I call him out and explain how I feel (over text but still - he lives kinda far). He replies saying he doesn’t have time to deal with me and wants to put the relationship on hold for two weeks until he can see me again in person. Also that if I messaged him, it could only be bare minimum stuff and light-hearted. Great way to make your partner feel like they can’t talk to you, particularly when they’re constantly anxious! So I am detaching and treating this like a breakup, and then when I see him in two weeks, it will officially be over.
he doesn’t have time to deal with me
To me I’d have to say I really wouldn’t like that.
it could only be bare minimum stuff and light-hearted.
I wouldn’t like that either.
Exams are serious and it’s not as easy as taking five seconds.
he has to stop what he is doing , change his thinking, then try to pick up where he left off
I suggest you , or he, set a time, the same time, everyday or every second day , so he can plan around it.
also, waiting for calls to come all day because it’s random sucks, it creates worry
set a time so you can stop worrying
How would you have coped before telephones? You had to trust.
big hugs
Bored, so I decided to have a look at my old Reddit comments. Hard to believe it’s almost been a year since rexxit.
It also made me remember how damn negative Reddit is. So many of my comments are either at 0, negative, or have a little controversial icon next to them. And the ones that aren’t (outside of the DT at least) are mostly just upvoted because I was being a dick to people who were getting downvoted.
Maybe I was just aligning myself with bad crowds, but that feels like it was a common theme on Reddit, I noticed it almost everywhere. Also their new web UI is disgusting and clunky and I don’t understand how anybody is able to use it
The place reeks of negativity. Even when I go there to browse these days, I feel myself getting sucked into the void of shittiness.
choose nicer subs
I am in illegallysmolcats, lotrmemes and some hobby subs
I was in most of the cat subs, as well as a bunch of snake and rat subs (cute animals tbh), and it still seemed like every second comment was someone being rude about something minor.
My hobby subs were even worse. I joined one of them in the early days before it became popular and got to “enjoy” the sub slowly become fuller and fuller of elitists. I ended up leaving because I don’t like the whole gatekeeping and anti beginner sentiment thing they had going on
Have you tried r/CatsStandingUp ? Many cat pictures and I can guarantee you won’t find any negative or nasty comments there.
Yay: car! public holiday! picked up some goodies today with ease thanks to both of these factors
Eh: insurance is a bitch to sort through.
Nay: my friend who drove me down to the seller’s place last night tested positive for covid this morning 😭 haven’t tested myself yet but after an OK start to the day, definitely feeling poorly this afternoon, so I’m fairly certain I’ve got something…
Yay in the end: the goodies I picked up today were premade meals, I have enough to last me til Monday. Was gonna put most of it in the freezer but now I’m just grateful I have ready made delicious and healthy food to get me through the next two days so I can rest up.
I’m feeling really good for an unknown reason and my first thought was “shit what’s wrong” lol
It took a while, but the cat has finally discovered that cheese is Good For Cats. Little bugger tried to pinch my smoked cheddar (and gave it a good lick). Luckily he’s much prettier than he is smart, it’s not hard to outwit him.
