but then for about the fifth day in a row i had that humperdink song in my head , c’an’t take my eyes off you’
I maybe to blame for the Engelbert earworm but I swear I’m not responsible for the American shit.
everyone I know did their best to stop this from coming 😿
I blame the press for being stupid cunts and not knowing what the important stories are, they just ran with smut for the money

A perk of getting in early is I can print off a flyer for the Beestation I made without anyone asking questions
I am here and am stuffed
it took from 9am to 7.30 to move the stuff, 3 guys
Welcome home 😊 that’s a big effort.
thank you 🙂
i see it as transitional and transformative 😐
Well done! Hope you get settled in well
Thank you. i hope so too 🫠
Woke up terrified. Bodes well for the day
I feel really tired, everything is over stimulating me today like I’m having sensory overload, hate this feeling.
Also body feeling hurty so that’s not helping.
no hugs
just the most gentle music in the world
Thank you!
Ugh ugh ugh ugh. Hate that. Haircut tomorrow at least (long overdue) so i won’t keep feeing my fucking hair
I need a haircut too, maybe that’s a next week job.
really hard to shake that mentality when you wake up with it. Extra special self care today. Buy that expensive coffee, put a nice cupcake with it.
hugs
I’m feeling like that today, too :-(
Wishing calming vibes for us both
Quick hack if you’re caught in a flight or fight loop: tense every muscle in your body, all of it, hard as you can, really fucking go for it. You should be shaking from the effort. Hold for about ten seconds and then release
Your body basically just thinks it completed the fight or flight sequence and is out of danger.
Will try that, ta
Good tip, thank you!
Oh interesting. Will try it out.
There is a crack in the sky and something is trying to break through.
Bad Wolf.
vacuumed the floor yesterday. Was vaccuming again 2 hours later cause the kiddo wanted a musli bar. And it was then that it dawned on me: this is why my house looks like a dumpster fire most of the time. Unless I’m cleaning 24/7 it just aint gonna remain clean. Ah well.
House clean once a day is achievable (with robovac). The rest of the time it’s just life happening. Better a happy house than a clean, unhappy one. Don’t sweat the small stuff (except ants).
yeah mrs is fairly keen on a robovac. If she cant come up with a Christmas present this year I might float that idea. Give it a week before the cat crowns himself king and rides it around the house though.
If that happens, we need pics.
Googly eyes are a must as well.
life is a battle against entropy and chaos
This is why we got a roomba
I want a roomba, but am nervous about the cat having an accident somewhere and it being smeared across the house.
We never had any issues on that front - we have an old as balls 880 series. It has on occasion found vomit…and eaten it. We only found out when wondering why the hell the roomba smelled like that.
Since the poop smearing vids went viral the newer models actually have detectors for that sort of thing. They’ve been promising their fecal painting days are over since '21
You let it go at one point, because life is too short for that nonsense. I insisted my kids remain in one place when eating, which helped a bit lol. I’ve said to people before, “People live here. It’s not a fucking display home!” Those people include my in-laws, who in the past were prone to randomly wander in unannounced and do what I call a “peer and sneer.” The old man especially was a terrible fuss pot. Fuck 'em! As long as the place is not actually a hygiene issue you’re golden.
People made the mistake of giving my kids grated cheese yesterday, they grab a handful and try to put as much into their mouth as they can. It’s a nightmare of a mess because you can’t just vacuum it. Leave it to dry and it could just get stomped into the floor. Sweep too hard and you could just smear it. We really shouldn’t just offer them the bag to grab handfuls
Are they old enough to use it as a chopstick training medium?
I own a dog, dropped cheese is NEVER a problem.
Unfortunately we don’t have a dog. It would be very well fed at our place.
Chopsticks would be beyond them at the moment. We still need to get them to use cutlery instead of just their hands
Dog ownership should be a prerequisite for parenthood, if only to do the food clean ups!
thats the worst! yogurt is bad too.
Yoghurt dries out fast and then you’re left with that semi solid paste of the cultures. It’s a real headache if you don’t get on it straight away
Peeler and I were just comparing notes on this very topic. Houses suck, they require more cleaning the more people and pets we put in them!
They’re little cyclones. They cause havoc in one room in a short time then move on to another to destroy.
I have no kids and still struggle to keep the place decent. Mess is so easy to make and cleaning is such a chore. Literally every action to exist makes mess. Eat food, use toilets, walk around, wear clothes etc. Not to mention general stuff and storage and actually doing things and living life. I wonder if people with pristine houses just sit and stare into space most of the time, so no mess is created. The way I see it, if regular cleans are getting done and nothing is unhygienic, good enough. My house is lived in. It’s reality not instagram.
It’s cooled down enough to go back to the blanket I’ve been slowly crocheting. 8ply wool is not ideal for summer.
i’m not mad… I’m impressed.
But being brutally honest you should be buying 1 ply.
2 PLY FOR THE FUR QUEEN ONLY
You’re not wrong actually.
2 x rolls of this is about 6 weeks worth of play time.
it’s such simple pure joy 🙂
The ears 😂
💖
Got a call from my new boss about starting next week.
Come in whenever on Monday, we’ll get a coffee, set up your equipment and go from there.
If you want to work from home the rest of the week that’s cool.
Butterflies officially gone
cool
and good luck 🙂
Finally got around to watching the season finale of Severance.
All I can say is wow, what a ride even if the last few episodes seemed way too slow.
I have a sleep study booked!! Low key hoping they find something - I know I snore bad. But they have given me basically no info except to turn up prepared to stay the night at hospital. Anyone got any tips?
I’ve got a referal for one. Did it take you a long time to book it in?
Expect a shitty interrupted sleep – unfamiliar bed and environment, probably not totally quiet or totally dark, nurse may need to wake you to reattach sensors that have fallen off, etc. It’s not necessary to sleep straight through to get good results though; wish I knew beforehand.
Expect to be grumpy and tired the day after, and travel home with gross electrode gel in your hair.
I’d probably bring my own pillow(s) next time.
Cool. Thanks. Luckily sleeping is my superpower (possibly long undiagnosed sleep apnea thing there) so I am hoping I will be able to sleep. But yeah I might clear my next mortar work just in case. Thanks! And good tip about the pillow
Digging through the freezer for dinner tonight, I discovered a packet of Mr Chen’s Beef Teriyaki dumplings. In the spirit of science, I followed the packet directions to cook them for dinner. Verdict : don’t bother. Meh at best, though freezing probably did not improve them.
I love pan fried dumplings. Have tried cooking at home and they are never as good as the restaurant ones. Have given up, it’s just one of those things that the pros do better. Steamed at home are fine tho.
X-Files series 1 episode 1. The young detectives meeting for the first time🥰in the basement 🥴
Scully’s shoulder pads 🤣
I also find it a bit weird in the early episodes they are still using land lines.
Counterpoint: Mulder’s hair. Like a proto Chris Isaak. Dreamy.
I am convinced the tram timetable on this route is entirely fictitious
The timetable is FINE. Timed to the minute. The problem is all those pesky travellers who keep delaying trams by getting on and off which stops the driver keeping to the schedule.
Public transport would be great, if it wasn’t for the dang PUBLIC!
My thoughts entirely!
