The looming spectre of Xmas is fucking with me.
I fucking hate Xmas because it highlights what are already sore spots and amplifies them ten fold.
It doesn’t matter how much you succeed, or how well you’re doing. You cannot outrun not having a family.
Oh shit probably shouldn’t have written what I did above didn’t see your post.
That’s rough.
Maybe this year a DT xmas IRL meetup party is in order. Would be nice to put faces to names :)
This is viable. Used to do big Skout meet ups a zillion years ago.
I’m in 👉👉
Xmas is one day, then it’s over. Totally understand that the lead up is so long but thinking of it as one day in a year helps me. I don’t have a close extended family or big family event like others, it’s much like any other day.
Got a fair bit done over the last few days down here. Much easier when there’s no one around. No silly arguments, not having to time / plan shit around dinner / shopping.
Very lucky to be able to use this place no questions asked. Usually over summer fam is down a fair bit and things can get a bit tense. So the idea is to remove a bit of that by getting shit done now in peace and quiet. This year there’ll be SIL/bro’s bubz in tow, ol’ girl’s in no shape so it’s completely on me this year. Back in the day would’ve protested but these days after the last year and a bit sign me the fuck up, any excuse to escape lol.
I’m very emotional today. Everything is going well but I feel like I’m gonna burst into tears anytime now for the smallest thing. Weird.
It will be ok. Thank you. ❤️
I think sometimes when you go through something really difficult, you’ve got to hold it all together just to get through. Then when things get better all the stress and emotions come out. hugs
I think you are absolutely right. Menopause doesn’t help either.
gentle hugs, it’s been a difficult week
Thank you dear ❤️
I have spent many years trying to convince everyone I am not ADHD… Looking around at the disaster in apartment today and realising I probably should not have embarked on a whole new kitchen reorganisation project complete with IKEA kits before I just stopped for ten minutes to do the dishes and put the bloody clothes away. Hmmmm
True. I’m very consciously forcing myself to deal with the stuff in visible areas before pulling out any cupboards or tackling the fridge
One of us! One of us! Lol
Work Xmas party today and I’m running late 🤦🏼♀️Power at home was supposed to be cut off between 8am and 10am, but they turned up at 9:30am with a new power pole 🤦🏼♀️Had to cook the kids and early lunch because the gas oven is a bit tricky to turn on since the piezo broke.
Beautiful day for a market stroll, lots of cute dogs around!
Put The Hobbit soundtrack on. Immediate smile. I needed that. 🤓🤓🤓
I have been listening to the Peter Serkis audiobooks of LOTR and they are immediately relaxing
I have been listening to the Phil Dragash LOTR and it can be so tense, or scary, or so sad I sit there crying in the train with my ear buds in
beach
King Parrot are doing an all ages show in Richmond today. I’d like to take the kids but it would be an expense venture for something they probably won’t be into
Partner has man flu and has been binging Severance tonight. I’ve been watching some episodes here and there and he’s into the second season now.
I do find it a bit slow in places. Not the slow burn part, I like slow burns, but just slow to move the story along. Other than that, it’s a solid thriller and I like the realistic subtle sci-fi element, as well as its commentary on corpo life.
I hope you enjoy each episode equally.
Patricia Arquette and Adam Scott are fabulous. Loved Patricia since I used to religiously watch Medium back when it was airing 😂
I think the shots of the landscapes are great but a bit slow. I watched Season 1 in 2x speed.
more sleep
huh.
I gotta say, the story of “Mickey” makes a lot more sense when you find out it’s a cover and was written for a male singer feeling baffled and cockteased. I never did understand how she flipped from “Take me home, arsehole” to “I’ll let you do me up the bum” without an intervening narrative structure.
Also I am not unfamiliar with Racey how am I just finding this out now.
Well that was a rabbit hole!
