I’ve got a spare water heater I was using for aeroponics if you want it (same as a fish tank heater). Not very big though. I have no need for it.

I did nothing eastery this year :(
Back in uni days used to get wasted, hide the eggs night before then wake up the next day and try and find them. Simpler times lol.

wondered what ‘format’ was
I accidentally formatted / reset my phone the other day. Spent a few hours trying to work all the android / google things. Had so many shitty photos of food… all lost to the sands of time due to a confused finger.

Yesterday was a big success (I think) w/ the downpipes. Had 2 hoses going in (one town and one tank) for 30mins and seems good.
No injuries lol.
Birds were using one of the gutters as a bird bath but since re-attaching one of the corners water is moving the right way again so yay (sorry birds).
Next downpour should be okay or at least less bad.
But 2 phobias… Antlophobia (flood) and Ombrophobia (rain) should subside.
Every few nights usually get weird dreams of falling off shit. but since going up that ladder so many times in the last month or so they’ve stopped for now. Not the safest way to deal with that but hey it worked. Don’t feel fear in real life up there but the dreams are wild. Also the dreams of tripping on shit have stopped. Weird brain.
Time to put the ladder away and wait for something else to break and find a new phobia.

Some family stole my fave table spot (fair enough can’t buy a view even with potato cakes)…
So potat cakes were had a few metres away.
They re-did the foreshore / playground / bbq area at point lonsdale a few years ago and it’s quite nice to see the place used so frequently now.

Darwin award day… hot water up a ladder into downpipes.
Good thing I got an email this morning from Ambulance Vic… final notice to renew… good timing.
When I was about 7 or 8yo broke my leg at a park down here at a family thing, didn’t have coverage… and that was an expensive activity.

lol. Fancy.
No way I could’ve afforded that.

Hrmm seems so!..
might have to double down and do both.
One of the downpipes is a bastard so I’ll put the washing soda in that first.
Thanks for the tip :)

Almost all done w/ the downpipes.
Last steps is to flush it then put bicarb and cleaning vinegar down, wait over night then flush with hot water (going up ladders w/ hot water will probably win me the darwin award).
It rained a bit last night and the downpipe outside my bedroom was flowing very nicely so seemingly this whole wasn’t a waste of time.

I freaked out a bit throwing the partay. Last time I did a little gathering like that was about 20 yrs ago, and we were all high after clubbing so it was easy lol.
How people manage the stress of hosting big ones is very much beyond me.

Just had a random blue heeler (had a collar, someone’s pet) rock up in the back yard here.
It freaked out when I went out to say hello.
It had 2 options.
jump off the patio (about 0.5m off the ground) which it was close to doing.
Or lean in to the situation and get pats.
It chose pats.
Good doggo.
It chose wisely.
I needed those pats.

Sorry for feeding into the urge to fix it
Oh please don’t be sorry. You have been so very helpful.
I think the urge to fix it for me just needed a reality check. I think I’ve come to terms that the best I can do is slow cognitive decline and not let the little things get in the way of that. I can’t roll this ball back up the hill but I can slow it which you have extremely helpful with.

Can’t speak for having adult kids, but my p’s were very strict on that (having gfs over). On the flip absolutely fine bringing them down here at their other place. It made no sense.
If I had adult kids I’d welcome it. I’d get them to do shit around the house lol (looking at you ladders, mowing and weeding). Also means (if a parent) could point out any red flags (if there are any).

Calm before the storm…
A lot to think about from yesterday (and thank you all for the responses). The links that melba posted yesterday (peoples’ experience w/ care giving) were eye opening, was up until 3am reading them.
I think I’m going to withdraw and tone it down a bit.
I will do food and the basics but the meltdowns are going to be largely ignored.
If bro and SIL and bub are coming down this w/e I will not be doing anything extra. I don’t even care to ask if they are.
I suppose this is what emotional burn out is. Had it before w/ work but this is a different beast.

Yep! I plan to come second last so as to preserve the last of my dignity and mispent youth.
Wii sports bowling on the other hand… pretty much win 25% of the time 100% of the time.
