                I went and found an image on my phone. Copied it then came back here in the voyager app and pasted it.

                Copy and paste always works on a desktop when I’m need emojis.

                On my app though it failed a few times before it worked.

                Edit: to clarify I did a Google search for an image.

    Grateful for female friendships! Not being upset like I was a year ago because my ex was too busy to talk to me. The sun. Dog attempting to wake me up twice, potentially because someone has either left the house or arrived.

      @LowExperience2368 @Seagoon_ Female friendships are the best ☺️

      (The only catch for me is I tend to be someone people come to with problems. So there’s been days when my bestie has come to me with troubles, and then my other bestie, and then mum, and then wifey 😫.)

      Anyways. Grateful thoughts.

      One of the ways wifey and I split jobs is that I do the dishes at night and she, in theory, puts them away every morning.

      In practice, most days I end up doing it.

      Well…

      A couple of days ago, I waited to see how long it would take for her to do it.

      6pm — nope. 7pm. 8pm.

      Are you going to put them away? “In a minute!”

      9pm. 10pm.

      Eventually it gets to midnight. Still not put away and she’s fast asleep.

      So I put them away. At midnight. I might have made a bit more noise than usual in the process.

      She wakes up: “Why are you doing that now? It’s midnight!”

      Oh sorry, it got to midnight and the dishes still weren’t put away from this morning, so I’m doing it…

      Anyways.

      I woke up this morning, and the dishes were all in the drawers.

      Grateful ☺️

          This one is Eastern Food Rescue, which grew out of a Food is Free cupboard in Mitcham. There are a number of Food is Free cupboards around the place too which have free food at random times. The food is primarily stuff that is going to be thrown out from supermarkets and bakeries, so the quality can be variable.

      How do you even get diagnosed with DSPD in this country? I always get Drs and psychiatrists telling me to go to sleep earlier and be very dismissive when I ask for sleep tests done. Normal sleeping pills don’t work at all for me, the best tools I have are agomelatine, clonidine, and cannabis (all taken together if I need to force a sleep bc of society).

      Anyways, I’m not grateful for dismissive doctors who think I am trying to get pills off of them to abuse. Also fuck my sleeping disorder!

        Yes fuck your sleep disorder :(

        I didn’t get diagnosed with it, but I think I have a delayed phase thing going on. It might not be disorder level, because I’m not sleeping at a mega ridiculous time, but my rhythm is just kinda in shock and I haven’t been to sleep before midnight probably in about two years.

        I think it’s more a bad habit per se. Although no matter what time I wake up one day, I will still not be able to fall asleep. It’s strange.

        I notice that I tend to have bad dreams more often when I take melatonin, but I’m not sure whether that’s an actual side effect or just a case of getting better quality sleep, and for longer. What dose did you take?

            Ah right. I was prescribed 2mg capsules, but permitted to take 2 of them if 1 didn’t work. These days though, I’ve gone down to 1mg tablets, and I take another if need be. I find that if I take over 4mg I get very groggy, and sometimes struggle to sleep the more I have. I took 7mg once (bad night), and the next day I could barely function.

            That said, I know a dude who takes 15mg, which just seems truly excessive. But it’s mostly unregulated in the US, so they just gladly sell 20 or 30mg tablets. more than 30mg seems to be considered dangerous, or at least risky, although it doesn’t seem to have been well tested.

      Ungrateful that my filling seems to get really painful when I eat/drink anything hot or cold. I think eating dinner is what brought on the pain yesterday. Had similar pain today after I drunk some cold water and let it over to the left side of my mouth. Apparently I just need to avoid eating anything warmer than room temperature for the next 2 weeks, when apparently it’ll fix itself 🤷‍♂️

          Yeah. I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m super thrilled that my teeth aren’t fucked beyond repair. I’m pretty good about brushing my teeth at least once a day now, but I went an extremely long time with only sporadic teeth brushing. I’m sure I’ll end up paying for that in the future

    Been feeling low and grumpy today. Positive emotions completely dulled while negative emotions seem to get an extra boost. But at least I cut short the work day on both ends today and had some wins at work.

    My favourite auntie got into a bad and easily avoidable car accident (total write off, front looked completely mangled) thanks to her stupid idiot overconfident narcisssistic husband, who honestly should’ve been off the roads years ago. They’re in WA so no way of easily going there. Instead here I am simmering in anger at that man (nobody likes him. Except my aunt who is a martyr). Thank fuck there were no injuries, maybe minor whiplash for my aunt.

    At least I guess it means they’ll get a new car with all the safety features but really the safest thing they can do is take the dickhead’s licence away. I hope he’ll voluntarily do it after this massive wake up call… small chance given his outsized ego but he’s softened a bit over the years.

      You could buy some mince and chop it up, mix it with the mince and make hamburgers or you could fry the mince and throw in chopped up parsley and spices or you could make a pesto with some pine nuts. Pine nuts are cheaper at Aldi.

        I was going to make garlic butter bread/loaf slices and maybe thinking about using the pasley in that.

                  Yeah but are you making it because theres alot more in it than herbs. If you have a store bought one just add the parsley to a portion.

                  Also get some of your margarine and put it in bowl and add heaps of finely chopped parsley and a little bit of garlic, mix it all up and you’ve got garlic butter. Any leftovers put some glad wrap on it and put it in your fridge for next time.

    My filling that I got on Monday started hurting at about 8pm yesterday. It’s odd. I didn’t have any pain on Tuesday, obviously didn’t have any on Monday (half my face was numb), and on Wednesday I only had a little bit that was easily fixed with a Panadol. This one isn’t so lucky. And it seems to have been timed nicely with feeling a bit blegh.

    Hopefully I have a good sleep, and a good sleep fixes it
