    Everything is making me angry and sad, I’ve been trying to work out why as I recognise it’s irrational.

    Turns out, it’s just my stupid uterus making itself the centre of attention again 🙄 such an attention seeker, it would fit right in with a mean girl clique lol

      I just ate 3 of those cadbury popping candy elf things. I don’t even like popping candy, so I guess I’ll be joining you at the mean girl club tomorrow.

        I just teared up before because I’m so over these carpet moths. I think I got them, and then I find more 🙄

        My home smells like vinegar lol

        And I cannot wait til I get menopause and after, this shit is so damn annoying 😂

          They briefly came back for me too. I think they’re getting in via dry goods from the supermarket so I’m going to go back to putting that stuff in the freezer for a bit when it arrives to kill any eggs.

          And I bought more snap shut plastic containers (though that’s not always moth proof)

          I find vacuuming the carpets to get any eggs helps the most of everything after that

            My big vacuum is farked, it started smelling like burning plastic. So I’ve been charging the small handheld one and going room by room. It’s hard because the carpet is very thick and woolly - I’m just mentally struggling with it all I’m sorry 😔

              Nooo I didn’t mean it like that. :(

              I’m also struggling hugely with vacuuming because of the noise and the energy. Was just saying that it seemed to work more than the vinegar

    Maggie not complaining. Was out there when the thunder hit. All the other birds freaked out but not her. She’s a professional.

    Have spent most of the afternoon getting all the Lego we own in the house for inventory. We have 3 sets which have never been opened, several almost completed sets (they were completed but bits fell off), most of the assembly books for the sets we have, and two additional 35L tubs choc full of Lego. There’s a place that’ll buy unsorted, preowned Lego by the kg. The kids have been sorting Lego from non-Lego and playing with it all afternoon. There’s some we’ll keep, but the rest has got to go. So many memories! I’ve been buying Lego for the kids for 10 years! It’s basically 2 giant suitcases full and we need the money and lack the room.

    We went to the Diamond Valley miniature railway today for a birthday party. It’s huge compared to Box Hill.

    Fortunately we got the last ride out of the way before the rain came down and just had to do the rain under the gazebo whilst it really bucketed down. A memorable end to a great party

      I used to go there as I kid, I love that it’s still going strong. I think they’re all amazing volunteers who run it.

    A local bakery here makes the best tiger rolls I’ve ever had and now when I have a different roll it seems mediocre.

          This could be over in record time. Be lucky if they make it past 14 overs with the way they’re going.

              And another one falls.

              I haven’t given it much thought to following a bbl team to be honest. Just happy to enjoy it every now and again.

              I’ve been watching too much cricket during the day with all the test matches and now the women’s ashes series has started.

      Having a good local bakery is the best thing. 🙂

      Same same here. The bakery up on the corner of my street does a brilliant tiger roll. Coffee and other baked goods are meh, but the rolls and their banh mi are top of the range. I miss them at lot when they’re on holiday (like, at present).

    I’ve got the tennis on in the background while making dinner and all I hear from the kitchen is loud grunting and yelling. I’m doing my best imitation of it.

    Shoulder is fine - still twangy but I overreacted. Taleya was right, I don’t think it’s my rotator cuff; I most likely just slept on it and didn’t move for hours. I guess I am a bit of a hypochondriac, thanks mum 🙄🙄🙄

    The exercises have helped so much though, anyway. Another wake-up call from the Universe to quit smoking and actually look after my health - mental and physical.

    In other news, and maybe a controversial take, but Myer Briggs and Enneagram tests are so fucking bogus. People basing their worldviews on psycho-babble like that need a different kind of help. The only thing they’re good for is self-relection, but only if one is self-aware enough to interrogate their own thought patterns objectively and fairly. Otherwise, they’re just excuses for people to never grow or change. Hate that shit so damn much.

    Oh man, just noticed another neighbour’s SUV is sitting their driveway with the sunroof open.

    They’re away for the weekend too. I threw some large plastic bags over it and taped it to the windows. Hope it holds.
