My aunt is trying to give me unsolicited dating advice. She is only about 15 years older than me, but the advice reads baby boomer. The man should pay, buy you flowers, open your car door, spoil you. What if I want to spoil a man? What if I don't even end up dating a man?

Her credentials include being in a ten year unfulfilling relationship and now a six month one where the guy has paid for mostly everything. I don't know anything about the guy, except he makes money and takes her out to dinner. Her view is that I'm a coward because I want to grow into myself more before I date someone. I think you should be mostly happy with yourself before you date someone, or you've got a big fat lesson in self-love coming your way. Haha

I have finally submitted a slightly overdue assignment for my course. It's pretty rough, it's the last subject and I've really lost interest now. I just need to do one more assignment well enough to pass the subject and the Diploma is done though. I am looking forward to not having any more assignment deadlines hanging over my head.

Today I did 10,704 steps. I took the Minipeelers shopping for a gift for their dad (it's MrExPeelers birthday in a week or so) and we wandered all around Northland. When we got home I saw I'd done almost 8,000 steps, so I got out my trusty hand weights and did some step core and upper body exercises combined until I kicked it over the 10,000. Normally when I come home from an adventure with the kids I'm exhausted and want to go have a lie down, but my strength and endurance is slowly improving. Also my t-shirts seem to fit better. Yes! 💪🏼

Hair of the dog is something I have plenty of, anyone in need is welcome to grab some!

And I've picked up a cold from the 9mn old niece. The green snot should have clued me in, but I would have appreciated some warning from BIL 🤦‍♀️

Road has been tripped, birthday person birthday'd. Smoke washed out of sinuses and tent drying. Kitties predictably broke into the food robot. Way too much time spent near Boyo's horrendous ex whom we were unaware would be in attendance. Hilarious small child not taught the meaning of the word Fucknugget 😝

God practice is so tiring. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 over and over with the metronome.

Gah.

Interesting evening lol

Goodnight all ❤️

sorted out tshirts and tops today, things me and miss seagoon will never wear, a big bag of good stuff, all clean and in good repair, not worn out either, for the op shop

Man, this family. They get together and it's like the in-laws (myself, sils husband, bils wife) don't exist.

In-laws gotta stick together I guess 😂 it would be easier if they didn't talk over us tbh.

I do love them, sincerely, but we're just accessories I guess 😂

i'm awake

Anyone know of good places to scream at the top of your lungs?

Hammock set up. Time to relax for a little bit before work!

still tired and in pjs, but already cleaned the kitchen, washed floors, put a load of washing on and am running the dishwasher

🥱

Blerghhhhhh :(

Edit: ok enough sooking. Off to the gym lol

When Melbcat went to the sunspot in the other room I sunscreened her nose and quickly changed the bedding. Then I took the chance to vacuum behind the bed and bedside table, and re-scrub a stubborn spot where a drink had spilled.

I had to use the loud vacuum and the scented carpet cleaner plus keep the furniture off so the carpet could dry (towels then air). Melbcat came in really quickly to investigate though. She’s stressed about the rearrangement and tried to walk on the damp chemicals 😩

I’ve put a towel down with the furniture over it now and multiple windows and doors have been cracked the whole time to air out the perfume. Oh man it stinks. I have the kitty inhaler ready and will probably keep the fans on overnight.

My back definitely has an opinion about today.

Pots got a bit dry but there are sproots.

I wish I had more energy for constructive activities

sunday quiz

40/50 yayyy!! I must be a kid at heart.

The black cat has been hanging around my place heaps and I’m not sure why. Is it the water, is he hunting, is he being social?

I can’t work out if he needs help but I can’t feed him or let him in. 🫩

I hit our luggage suitcase last night and hurt my little toe. Now it's bruised and it hurts to walk a bit. I'm not sure if that means it's broken or not, but at least today will involve a bit of driving and not walking

I wish there was more good stuff on Tubi. I could try to crack into one of the books lying around but am kind of mentally tired and also can’t really crochet while I read if I wanted to.
