Looks absolutely delicious.
Yeah, itās everywhere at the moment and leaves me very wary. Itās sad - the result of multiple failures of the safety net - but I think of my own safety. I donāt like to go out unless thereās a very good reason.

We did it!
Now itās gotta sit there until 8:40pm then go in the fridge for 8 hours. Somehowā¦ the other 3 members of this household are going nuts about it lol.
It went ok with the guests today, she actually seems like a nice lady, very unpretentious. She has more than a few kids and theyāre lovely too, I mostly sat and chatted to them about stuff. The Minipeelers ended up liking them too. Iām often too embarrassed and ashamed to have people round to my flat because itās tbh a tiny shithole, with piles of stuff everywhere and not enough places to sit lol. We havenāt got room for all the Lego, art stuff and general kids things. She gets it though, and I felt at ease with her. Then after they left I grabbed Miniest and she wanted to get a present for her bros birthday, so we went and did that.
public transport rantTitle
I donāt mind catching public transport in general, but man lately there are just so many fucking weirdos. Itās getting too much; every time I go anywhere itās drunks ranting at the station, junkies being weird on buses or just odd people doing odd shit near my kids which puts me on high alert and Iāve got to assess whether theyāre a genuine threat or dangerous or just a dickhead or mentally ill or what. My kids are being confronted with this shit and itās not cool. They have a right to feel safe. Iām just bloody sick of it and itās motivating me to get my licence more than anything else.

That cake looks perfect!

Fantastic cake!!! Well done!!!
My place is shocking as well and Iām always so embarrassed to have anyone over lol I get it! Partnerās ADHD and my own CPTSD combine equals piles of crap everywhere lol
Amen to your PT rant! Iām always so damn suss about anyone losing their mind in public, be it mental illness, drugs/withdrawals, etc. I canāt imagine how stressful it is when you have kids, nor how stressful it is for your kids. Getting your licence is a great idea!
It does also show how our drug and mental health and homeless programs are failing tho sigh

First off, cake looks amazing!
About public transport:
I know how you feel and Iām a relatively tall, athletic-ish guy and it still puts me on edge. And thatās without having kids with me.
If you can, try for your license. I got mine really late, and itās changed my life. Iāve had some really confronting situations on the train especially and even if I was the victor, my life would be affected in a huge way.

Is that cheesecake? OMG I love cheesecake. Itās my favourite dessert
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone āØ1ā© āØweekā© ago
Yes, itās a Basque! Cheesecake is my favourite too. My first attempt at making it, but I had the Minipeelers there to offer guidance and help with mixing. Elder didnāt mind helping to make his own birthday cake, I think he felt very invested in its success.
