Why would you think it's okay to move your leg though?
Today is the first day in 3 months I haven't used a pain killer or anti-inflammatory . Back is slowly getting better. π

illness and wall of text rambles
My old aunt just rang and told me she has Alzheimer's..kinda knew it for a while but now confirmed. She is in assisted living and very well cared for but...dang....she is very dear to me and I don't want her to go through that after such a big strong life.
So proud of her for moving into a care home when she got older though. She was so sad about it but knew it was the right thing and she did it on her terms and now she will have support and care. And a more advanced care option when that happens.
But ....man....

WAKE UP !
Grab a brush and put a little make up
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up
wake up!
make up!
shake up!
So guess who gets his car back? I've warned the mrs time and time again to slow the f down and be more careful with it, but she drives like shes a character on mariokart. For some dumb reason she put an office chair in the garage to be thrown out, but it just hasn't been done yet. I came home last night to find the office chair pinned between the brand new car and the end of the garage wall. She didn't even notice she'd done it, and yep, shes scratched and dented the panel. Accidents happen, but i've been warning her for WEEKS something like this was going to happen. I didnt yell but MAAAAAN I am pissed.
Um, don't you two have a child? I'd be less concerned about scratches and more concerned she didn't notice she hit something. Today it was an office chair.... When your child is a walking toddler...
I'm not trying to shit on her, but she needs more awareness in these situations (I obviously don't you or her, so this is just based on this post). Too many news stories of people not watching the kid/not seeing the kid in the driveway or garage, and the parent... Well. You understand what I'm trying to say I think.
100% agree. i've warned her in the past if I catch her "go karting" with the kid in the car again there will be a serious conversation. But no, Tinyest cant walk yet, and is never unsupervised outside.

She needs a tennis ball on a piece of string suspended from the roof. When the ball hits the windscreen you know to stop.

rant about dumb ex again
Ugh. After my dumbass fuckwit ex msgd and tried to gaslight me last me, I reported their profile on FB for nonsense. Obviously it was rejected. Partner says I shouldn't have, because I showed I hadn't grown like my ex said. That I should have taken the high road.
Fuck the high road. Fuck the fucking high road. I took the high road the entire time I was with my ex. You try losing 8 years to an abusive fucktard and then you take the high road. I'm tired of taking the high road. I don't care that I "played right into their hands". I understand shouldn't have done it, it was a moment of weakness, but I don't regret it and I don't feel bad about it. I had no fucking agency to do anything, Brittany Higgins case has ensure I will never report the heinous shit they did. I reject the high fucking road. I have entertained so many petty revenge plans (envelopes of shit or glitter, signing them up to religious orgs, ecetera) but I always took that stupid high road. But one fucking nonsense report apparently makes that all meaningless. I will never have justice, I will never see them be held accountable for their crimes. But fuck me for being petty. I'm tired of victims being told to be better.
I think I'm triggered, gotta distract myself and perhaps I'll feel differently.
Fuck.
I think you should block him and cut all further contact from him if you can.
Itβs not really good for you and heβll continue to do what he does which is exactly what he wants
Donβt let him win. Youβre strong and amazing and he doesnβt deserve you in his life.
She is blocked, the throwaway they used is deleted anyway, and they don't use their old reddit account lol.
One last thing I'll do, is make my own throwaway and post their message/letter to unsent letters. Just gotta put it where it should have gone in the first place.
I haven't seen or spoken to them since early 2019. This was the first contact we've had since then. I don't believe it will happen again because I was quite sassy at them lol
I agree with you completely though. It just hurts. I really appreciate this message, sincerely. You totally right π
Oh itβs a throwaway? Thatβs not very helpful at all.
Might be good for you but Iβm not an expert on those things I must admit.
Whether theyβre aware of it or not their behaviour is unacceptable and it should never come at the expense of you and your feelings and your wellbeing.
They could end up repeating it again but I suggest not talking to them directly as that only gives them what they want, writing ghost letters to get your feelings out would be better.
Iβm sorry that it hurts, some are slow to heal, some might never go away but we have to all keep moving forward and youβre in a good place now and thatβs something you should be proud of

When Nagi from Recipetin eats was taking inspiration for her cookbook people were requesting things like more salads and airfryer recipes which is really not her thing. I wrote sesame prawn toast. Imagine my surprise when it made it into the book. So my question for the day is:
What is something that you've contributed to that has also benefited others? Big or small. It doesn't matter.

I don't wanna go to bed. Going to bed takes me one step closer to the whole process which ends with getting up and going to work tomorrow morning. Don't wanna.
It's a sunny day so I'm out to get some rays for my mental health :)
I put in a passport renewal application this morning - it was so easy!! I thought I had missed the timeframe in which I could do a renewal (I think they extended it) so I was expecting to have to do another full application, so spending 5 mins at home and 15 mins at the post office was absolutely great.
There was a lady there doing a passport photo for her kid which looked a lot more troublesome - she had to hold him out awkwrdly so she wasn't in the photo, then they had to do it all again because he dribbled all over himself and the mum wanted a drool-free photo. He at least was allowed to smile. I had to channel the memories of stepping off a 13 hour flight followed by a long slow shuffle through immigration queues to get the appropriate soulless stare required to ensure my photo will match my likely presentation at the airport.

Spiders
This huntsman is also a dumbarse, coming down to ground level where the cat could easily get him. Just like the last one I had to release for his own safety. I've caught the current one in a glass just now.
Should I give him another chance and hope he'll stay out of danger, or put him outside to ensure he doesn't get punched or eaten?
Get huntsman outside to make huntsbabies, then let the babies in. The survivor will be smart.
This seems like a young one from his size. Yeah I'll put him out. I don't want him to meet disaster
I would release outside, just so it doesn't be dumb again and get within paw-reach lol
This did remind me of a memory though, small text wall
when I was 15 and living with mum, we had four cats (Slim Dusty, Polly Pants-Down, Tigger, and Elvis).
Tigger was a terror on the fauna, he was a little psycho leaving bodies of whatever small mammal he could on our back steps, often headless. He had no fear at all. One night mum and I were sitting outside while she has a smoke, and we see Tigger in the lawn, which has grown a bit, playing with the grass. It was very cute... Until we realised when we got closer that there was a massive motherfucker huntsman sort of in the long grass on top of it, and Tigger was just tormenting it. At one point he had this huntsman on his face like a terrifying mask. Mum and I are both arachnophobic, but we both agreed it was cruel. So with a lot of squealing and screaming we used a big Tupperware container and some sticks and corraled the huntsman into the gum tree. Tigger was very unimpressed, mum chain-smoked, and I cried a little. Stupid story, sorry for the text wall, but it makes me laugh now haha
He's out now!
Yeah despite her age Melbcat is quite a good hunter too. She's kept inside for her safety and the safety of the wildlife
Me to friend: Found new fields of work that are way more relevant to what I did. That means I have to right more letters.
Friend: write*
Me: See my brain is fried already. Anyway, need to very different letters.
Me: two*, I believe I need to first obtain a new brain by video gaming.
Ouch. Was clearing some stuff on the bottom shelf of the bookcase and it tilted forward enough that something fell off a higher shelf and whacked me right on the bridge of my glasses.
Wouldn't be surprised if it's bruised tomorrow.
Ow ow ow ow ouch. π
Cheers everyone and 'ave a good weekend πΊ

Aight I've got two car inspections booked in for this weekend, I fucking HATE looking for cars, but I'm glad I'm finally getting this ball rolling so I can start getting to work reliably and once again be free to head to wherever I want whenever I want.
Scored a second interview with more-challenging-less-flexible-but-better-for-career-and-close-to-home job on Monday, a lot will now hinge on what they are willing to offer in terms of pay... π€π½
But for now, time to settle in cozily with the last bit of my scrumptious salmon pasta and hate-watch the end of For All Mankind s3. Such a fucking dumb season but I do want to see where they all end up. If s4 is worse than this I might not watch it though.
