      Honestly when you go the beach is one of the best escapes :)

      Are you an early morning beach person or a late evening beach person? I just love the beach in the early morning - everything is so fresh. Later on just isn’t the same.

        Noooo!

        All about the sunset swim.

        It’s when sharks feed or you drown because no one else is there.

        It’s very calming.

    Woke up with a raging headache. Had a lil spew, some ibuprofen, my anti-sads, and some plain bread.

    I slept from like ~8pm to ~11am, and I must have slept like an crooked croissant again.

    I’m starting to feel normal again.

    And hello Yarrabyte! Love the name! And I look forward to your basking in you bot-presence!

    Parkrun PB in sunny Lalor this morning. Quite happy with that actually. Now at the stage where I’m enjoying running rather than feeling like it’s a punishment.

      Apple, our shelter and our strength, you listen in love to the cry of your people: hear the prayers we offer for our departed airpods, right and left. Cleanse them of the laundry water and grant them the dryness of hairdryers. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Air-men.

    Forgive me DT & especially Bottom_racer for I have apparently lied to you all.

    It turns out that when putting my shoes on, I do in fact go left first when sitting down. It’s only when standing up do I go right first.

    Please accept this apology and I appreciate your understanding.

      This morning I paid attention for once and found I put my shoes on right foot first. Not sure if I do that all the time tho. Am more right handed than left (it’s complicated).

          The books are great. I never did watch the show, but everything I have been told leads me to be grateful for that fact.

            The GoT books are great! At least they have fleshed out women characters (something LotR books lack), but comparing the GoT show to LotR movies is like comparing a steaming pile of dung to golden apples 😂

              I can’t think of a single woman in Norse myth, other than maybe Grendel’s mum.

                Freya. The Norns. But I guess goddesses don’t exactly count as people. No matter how badly they behave. Have you read Sagaland by Richard Fidler? It’s a collab between him and Kari Gislason about the people behind norse myths/stories - can be a challenging read but revelatory.

    What did I miss, we have a bot now? Awesome stuff! Thankyou to whoever used their clever know how! Today was a bit of a nothing day for me. Have lots of chores to do this weekend but have done none so far. I guess I’ll have to cram it in tomorrow, but yeah that’s probably just wishful thinking. Then I’ll feel annoyed at myself and sad for not planning better and being more motivated. In the evening I have dinner at partners friends place, not super keen on going but feel obligated, which will round off my bleh feelings for the day. So that’s my Sunday sorted.

    Oh my bedroom was dusty 🫣 but now de-feraled, clothes away. Floors done. Dusted. Bathroom spruced. Gonna have a shower and give that a wipe down while I am in there. Not perfect but feel like I am back on an even keel cleaning wise.

    Nearly time to crack a beer I reckon

    My migraines occur due to a shoulder imbalance. My right shoulder raises up (like a shrug that’s stuck) and rolls forwards.

    I asked chatgpt to give me some ideas on how to deal with it.

    It gave me some exercises. I did 2 of them. The pain reduced significantly.

      If Dandenong rehearsals are a regular thing you can swing by my place and I’ll have a look at it. I was no good at the business of myotherapy but I was good at the myo part.

      If you think it’s nerves, have a read up on brachial plexus flossing.

      There’s a series of orthopeadic tests call upper limb tension tests (1-4) designed to target different nerves. Most of them involve winding your arm up in a certain position which will put a stretch on the nerve then moving your head away from it (either rotation or lateral flexion depending on the test). Brachial nerve flossing would be along the lines of loading up the arm then doing small pain free motions of your head in the recommended direction to gently tug at the nerve freeing it up and hopefully helping with your issue.

        I’ll read up more about it today and give it a go.

        Honestly, I was shocked the chatgpt exercises didn’t make it worse lol

        The pain isn’t that bad, but it destroys my ability to function. Absolute agony, nausea, pretty much bedbound.
