    Shadows are still perplexing.

    Today is a tough day (as I’m sure it is for others). So it’s do sweet fuck all and try and stay even keeled.

    At least it’s a beautiful day.

      all festive days are just another opportunity for people to show who they truly are so I just celebrate with my true loved ones or on my own

        I love my mum, a lot, but whenever we soend time together, something builds up between us until she explodes in a tirade of telling me all the things about me that she dislikes. Could take months, could take years. After hearing it all enough times, I finally decided it’s easier to just to remove the problem of spending time together to free her up to spend it with people whose company she actually enjoys. Much better for my mental/emotional health.

        Thanks for the hugs :)

    Just wanted to acknowledge the people here who have complicated relationships with their mothers, have lost children, whose mothers have passed, and any expectant mothers, single dads, foster carers or pet owners ❤️❤️

    The other day, a neighbour posted that they were selling their coffee table, and it came with a free cat bed, as her cat has never used it.

    I don’t want or care for glass coffee tables, but I asked if I could buy the cat bed - she said it was free and she’d leave it outside her apartment for me!

    I grabbed it, thanked her, and gave it to Mickey a few days ago. The top can come off so I detached it and put treats in there for him over the last few days.

    Last night, he slept in it!

    Last time I rented a property the condition report was a carbon copy checklist of a couple of pages, with a few lines to add comments. This time I have 170 pages, with multiple photos of everything. There are 9 photos of the front door knob.

      That is insane. I think our last one was 16 pages. It was all online because Covid, pity anyone with a data limit.

      This is a really, really old house.

      Every single scuff mark was documented. I moved in 3 years ago and the report was 95 pages.

      Moving out is going to suck lol

        This is a brand new house, there is not really anything to document. There are pages of everything being perfect in great detail.

        Basically any damage is going to be on me. There are little pots of all the paint colours though so I can do touchups, and spare tiles and floor boards so any damage to those can be fixed without redoing everything too. Hopefully I can avoid any damage though - I have lots of things like shelf liners and caps to go on all the furniture to stop scratches. Plus many door mats and rugs.

    I found one of my friends from the park face down next to his car yesterday. I think the old bloke had just tripped and no longer had the fitness to get himself back up. Helped him up and got him into his car. Helped pack away his fly fishing stuff that he practices with. He said he was okay from there but I reckon I should’ve drove him home. I was on the dog walk so finished that then went back to the park to check on him and the car was gone ~40 minutes later.

    I had another therapy client who fell at home and couldn’t get back up. In his 90s. Luckily we were close enough that I knew where his spare key was and alarm code so I let myself in for the appointment even though he wasn’t answering the door. Found him dehydrated on the floor, got him a drink an called the jewbalance (hatzolah).

    Lesson is, don’t let your fitness slide so much that you can’t get up off the ground… if you can help it.
