I love mornings, they smell and feel so good. 🙂
Yes
And it’s a good drying day today
Beef brisket is on.
Slow cooking in tomato, sweet chilli, onion, stock cubes, thyme, garlic, Muscovado sugar, cinnamon, and of course Guinness.
Minipeelers were up at 7am to do craft and have already ran out of red polymer clay. Did a quick shop and am now on way home to tackle Mount Washmore. I’m tired as!
It’s McHappy Day today.
😞
I dreamt of pizza last night. Youse happy now. Also I’m calling this an undies free day.
I dreamt I was doing dishes and washing bottles and someone was complaining I wasn’t doing it right. 🙄😡
I’m not sure I can support a general undies free day. Is you calling for this because you are behind on the washing?
No. It’s gonna be warm and sweaty undies are gross so feel free to wear none under your dress.
Can I introduce you to the concept of “naked Sundays”?
It’s weird at first but everyone falls in line eventually.
I’ve done that, on super hot days where my place didn’t have an aircon. I’ve lived in around 15 houses over my life, and only the Epping, CBD, and Brunswick homes have had aircon lol.
So I have spent many days in my life butt naked. The only thing that icks me out about it now, is sitting on a chair or couch with my bare bum. I don’t want things that close to my cooch without some kind of barrier 😂
It’s so freeing isn’t it!? It’s even better when you throw a party on the Saturday night and new comers don’t know about the midnight tick over Sunday rule. They all fall in line though.
The sofa issue can be weird but it’s bits and we all have them and you get used to it. Sofas can be cleaned after all but understand your apprehension.
I don’t wanna join your cult thanks.
Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! Like I said, everyone falls in line eventually.
Probs best to not invite the folks over that day though.
There’s just something about “I’m a pensioner and I need to travel a long way will you give me a discount” that makes me want to say no. The attempted emotional manipulation combined with a sense of entitlement just pisses me off. Not sure why it pushes my buttons so strongly but it really does.

Wooooooooooooo 42!!!
Flying back home after 2 weeks in NZ today. Top of 13 degrees here today, it’s going to be a rude shock coming home 🫠
Good morning
Market run early this morning then essential gardening only. Norf wind gonna be brutal today. All housework has been banished to Sunday cos cooler then (I hope). I hope Sunday brings the promised rain - everything is getting a bit dry.
Shopping including a CBM run for the good snacks Some sewing stuff Then… 1927!!!
I’m doing an early shop and tackling Mount Washmore, that’s it.
Woke up from a nightmare in which Mike Ehrmentraut was following me around for allegedly shoplifting. It was already so hard to go to sleep. I need it for today, my friend will be here at 8:30, body please…
I have been so tense and anxious over the sense that maybe I’ve made a horrible mistake and prioritised the wrong things. I hate this stomach-pit feeling… gotta suck up my choices though.
It will pass - moving house is a big life change. You done the right thing - just the process remains and that has an end date. Hopefully then you can relax a bit and do something nice for yourself as a reward.
It’s been hard to shake the feeling that I’m going backwards with this - but I think I’ll come out ok on the other side if I don’t dwell on the negatives…
Spot on reasoning. The other side is a good goal to work towards. Stressful process though.
Another fun human fact is that we sleep a lot lighter in unfamiliar surroundings. Sokething else that will improve in a little while 🤗
I hope so! Might need to have the white noise going for a few weeks.
Have you spoken to your GP and therapist about this? If that’s not something you typically do then I strongly encourage that you give it a try!
It’s absolutely the major topic of our conversations! There’s some heavy shit underneath it all. Already onto my sixth session next week… without any of that support I think I’d have had a breakdown
Here’s the schedule for mum’s eye things. Was a bit drunk with the rhs I will redo that.
I’ve tried phone alarms / apps but this way seems to have a higher success rate. She’s also supposed to be dropping 2 times after 8pm but she likes her baileys so that’s up to her.
i’m trying I hope it’s logical :( it’s a lot of drops.
Sorry for replying twice and this is a significantly more effort intensive solution.
As it’s her vision reading that effectively might be hard.
Have you considered a smart watch she has to wear? It could vibrate at the time required and display the you must do this exact thing now, or maybe could be set to even vibrate/beep differently based on the required task.
Watch would be ideal but she won’t wear it. But I think you’re right I should include the > 8pm
I’d personally include the after 8pm times so that she’s got a reminder and a subtle call out for missing them.
If it’s working for her it’s working for you too.
Also please make sure you scan it so you can print it next time!
I understand the paper solution, and I’m all on-board with it. But I’d still whip that up as a spreadsheet and print it out. Not because I couldn’t make such a chart by hand, just that it would never occur to me.
I’m a little impressed. 👍
Interestingly the paper / handwritten seems to be more effective than a printed spreadsheet. I think that might be because we sat there together when I was drawing it up, was an activity to get her involved and get her thinking about time intervals for the various drops in the hope she remembers.
What an awesome night!
Goodnight all ❤️
