Tomorrow feels like the start of a new chapter.

Today is 7 months off suboxone. Sleep is better regulated, music is going really well.

I'm half excited half nervous about tomorrow.

I still can't get over the fact that of all the possible buildings in Melbourne, it's the one where my mum used to work.

None of this would be possible without the sacrifices that she made, and the hell she endured.

She will always be my hero โค๏ธ

this is so awesome

so happy for you ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜Š

( I am sure she would be very proud of you, as we here are )

Your mum would be so proud of you mate. You've gone through so much crap, and worked your way out of it. That's really admirable and a testament to your character!!! She lives on through you โค๏ธ

Fucking hell.

Just found ol' boy (81) up a ladder checking gutters (about 2m high), base on an incline on wet grass. No tether, not staked.

Yes I got grumpy.

What is it with people thinking 'she'll be right' on ladders.

Stupid af (esp. at that age).

11
anotherspringchicken - 1mon

Seems to be a thing. When my OHโ€™s dad was around the same age he (frail & blind in one eye) did the same thing.

Iโ€™m glad your dad is ok & hope he listens to you. Geez they can be stubborn

E: I say that a stubborn person myself (didnโ€™t mean to be ageist)

5
Bottom_racer - 1mon

Seriously stubborn.

He said 'don't tell me what to do'. He's not frail and in good shape though. I said 'well I'll tell you what you won't be doing if you fall and break your hip.. you'll never play golf again'. He mumbled something and walked away lol.

What happened to the "short and t-shirt. Not going back" attitude?

I never said shorts! I'm still wearing a T-shirt

My apologies. Enjoy your warm trackies.

Bugger there's a wattle bird that made its way inside.

This might take a while :(

edit hooray it's free. Threw a towel over it and it calmed the f down.

So my resume now includes 3 mudlarks and 1 wattle bird. Magpie is the only bird with manners who just trots out when it gets in lol.

8
anotherspringchicken - 1mon

How are you with possums? We had one wander inside then climb the curtains. I made the mistake of trying to pick it up in a towel, like a cat. Eventually got it outside but I had some interesting tooth-mark bruises for a bit.

6
Bottom_racer - 1mon

Ouch.

I think I'd set a trap (non-kill) and hope for the best lol.

Well that's a little embarrassing. Cleaning out the booze shelf and found some relics that people have gifted over the years. Might have a taste later. Probably all vinegar though.

You can make a nice trifle using that port

My life is enriched by much market bounty. The parsnips, they are enormous

7
TheWitchofThornbury2 - 1mon

One of my fab fave vegetables - the parsnip. Love them. One of my best soups is a grated parsnip simmered in 1 cup good chicken stock till tender, then add a grated golden delicious apple. Add sliced red chilli to serve and if you dare, a half shot of vodka. I call it sunshine soup. Warming, comforting and fresh flavoured and colourful.

6
Alamutjones - 1mon

Iโ€™ll have to try that

3
Seagoon_ - 1mon

I make a parsnip bake with eggs , milk, thyme and black pepper

it's quite good with roasts

2
TheWitchofThornbury2 - 1mon

Oooh must try that. Sounds delish! Thyme goes so well with parsnips.

3
Seagoon_ - 1mon

peel and slice into 5 mm rounds, lightly steam, then make an egg milk and herb mix. put parsnips in a pie dish and pour egg mix over. bake. if you like sprinkle some tasty cheese on top

2
TheWitchofThornbury2 - 1mon

Thanks! This is going on the food roster.

LowExperience2368 - 1mon

I'm convinced everyone has a hidden talent.

::: spoiler spoiler I didn't think I had one, but recently learnt that many people haven't committed close families' / friends' phone numbers or birthdays. I know everyone in my close circle's phone number by accident because there was a time my phone would just show the phone number. Plus people you live with, isn't it common to know their numbers?

I unfortunately remember my ex's phone number (it had a specific pattern), my friends' phone numbers, and a fuck ton of birthdays of people I no longer speak to. My best friends in high school would never remember my birthday, even though I remembered theirs, and her excuse was always not being able to remember birthdays. There is a thing called a calendar. I wonder how common this is! My prediction is relatively common. :::

anotherspringchicken - 1mon

I have that one, too :-(

2
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 1mon

So much regret...

2
Alamutjones - 1mon

I'm very good at falling over - even a full body faceplant dramatic one - without doing any harm to myself. Mastered the "safe fall"/"stage fall" as a kindergarten kid.

I've also got what seems to be an exceptionally high tolerance for pain.

Possibly these two things are connected?

6
anotherspringchicken - 1mon

Thatโ€™s a skill that stunt people have, too (the falling, not sure about the pain tolerance - although it would be useful for that job)

1
Alamutjones - 1mon

Iโ€™d stopped crying when I fell over by the time I was two. People used to comment โ€œhuh, she never cries - sheโ€™s just properly stacked it, and sheโ€™s fine? How?โ€

2
Seagoon_ - 1mon

It's because you care. ๐Ÿ˜˜

5
StudSpud The Starchy - 1mon

I can make a loud click sound with my tongue. Most people can click their tongue and it sounds rather small and kinda wet, and it's often a double click because the tongue hits the bottom of the mouth. When I do it, I can stop my tongue from hitting the bottom of my mouth, and it makes a very loud "knock" sound, like someone knocked hard on a wooden door.

It hasn't been very useful in my professional life, but it has been extremely amusing using it to scare people. Or compete with my dad to see who can make the loudest click ๐Ÿ˜‚

5
Alamutjones - 1mon

Iโ€™mma curl up in my recliner and watch Spooks

6
Rusty Raven - 1mon

I thought I was going to spend yesterday gaming, accidentally spent all day and a couple of hours past midnight into today too. Oops, I had intended to do some other things as well.

Today I plan to do a few more things in the garden, as long as it doesn't rain on me. If it does rain on me I have lots of indoors sorting I still need to do, cleaning up the junky corners I never quite got to after I moved.

6
SpinMeRound - 1mon

Gahhhh, tired of giant cars that don't fit in parking spaces.

::: spoiler Cat medical, skip if it brings the thread down

Iโ€™ve emailed the vet asking about the risks of surgery and if there can be safer compromises. I forgot to ask about things like cryotherapy, damn. Anyway Iโ€™ve asked to discuss options.

I might have found another larger lesion, donโ€™t know. A photo has been dispatched to the specialist.


:::

Iโ€™ve got the electric blanket on low and am snorgling the pudding. Sheโ€™s had breakfast, meds and treats then we both went back to bed.

beach walk was much warmer than I thought, I had to take my jumper off!

the tides were strong over night and the beach was clean, which is nice , it smells better and no flies

but few shells

a small ray washed up

SpinMeRound - 1mon

The beach and I weren't friends today.

But that's okay.

Friendship and respect are different things and I'll bow to her everyday.

She deserves it.
