Melbourne

I want to thank everyone for the insightful, thoughtful and very personal responses that were shared to my comment yesterday evening. Reading through that thread again this morning I'm deeply touched, and once again so happy to be part of a group of people who are so sharing of their knowledge and experience. Thankyou very, very much 🥹

Worth the 3 hours sleep.

Gangs all here

Sunday arvo library chill with the kids

Broke a front tooth :(

It's mostly made of composite material which means hopefully they'll be able to rebuild it which has been the case in the past.

Not a great look though, makes me feel a bit self conscious.

Edit: in better news, I feel like a gazillion bucks after getting as much as sleep as I've had in over a year.

Wooooooooooooooo!!!!

Edit 2: add another 2 hours of sleep. Man that PT sesh yesterday must have destroyed me in a good way.

I've locked in an open mic for mid august. I'm putting this here if anyone has time and wants to have a listen:

Sunday night practice with some mistakes and some fucking around for 1 song.

I think perhaps it’s time I get up

Night all ❤️

My husband's watching Jurassic Park and whenever I see dinosaurs it reminds me of YL's very intelligent mad loving dinosaur friend. So his fixation is of course dinosaurs and that's how he would start a conversation with you (diagnosed autistic later on).

One day he said something like some sort of dinosaur fact to a teacher and the moll replied "Dinosaurs aren't real you know".

10 years on and we still laugh about it. At the teacher of course.

Following the discussion yesterday on gendered toys, I just remembered how I used to play schools. The school had its own name and leadership structure. I had a relative who used to sew toys out of felt and sell them, and so I was given quite a few of those. I managed to make a class full of toys and each of them had an exercise book to do their work in that I would mark. I even did school photos with my shitty tablet at the time. The 'naughty' kids would be sent under my bed for a time out sort of thing.

"Treats or too early?"

Edit: had 2 x 3 hour chunks of sleep and I feel amazing. I'd forgotten what feeling OK getting up was like.

Jalapeño sautéed in bacon fat. These will be mixed in the cornbread batter.

Up since 4 😴😴😴 Ima need a nap later

Shall we play?

tonight I am cooking a large cottage pie, which I hope will last a few days

Family lunch was nice. Just nan and opa, dad, uncle, and my aunt and her partner. It was super nice a chill.

Very pleased to hear Opa lose his shit over the ICE raids in the USA.

I mis-timed the dog walk badly and we both ended up quite soggy. Mr Woof got the wet dog zoomies, hurtling up and down the hallway using Miss Meow as a hurdle.

Edit: Actually, the timing could have been worse. It's absolutely bucketing down now.

up early, had coffee, had another allergic reaction to the milk, strong lip tingling and I could feel throat irritation and I coughed a bit , went back to sleep later

it's time to start black coffee 🥺

It's back!

30/50

Finally managed to get the cat window beds to stick. They are being ignored.

Nonstop napping. Getting up only to tend to Melbcat or do something essential.

I had the sleeping habits of a bat but now they’re the habits of a sloth.

my finds at the beach today

a very old piece of iridescent glass, a pink murex, a top shell, a frilled venus shell and a vertebrate of I don't know what
