    Sigh. You know how there are some people whose company somehow makes you feel more alone? I feel like that’s this person I hung out with this evening… I basically felt like I was her uber driver. I have never liked the fact that she’s 50% of the time on the phone when hanging out with me, in the past it was because I was helping her out with stuff but now I’m kinda done. The last straw was when we were supposed to have fish and chips after the sunset and she said she’d shout me, but then later on when I asked her where she’d like to go she said actually she has cramps and she doesn’t want to eat. I think I’m really ready to let this one fade away (which is sad given I don’t have many other friends but oh well)

    Just enjoying my own f&c at home now, gonna rewatch last week’s The Pitt and then enjoy this week’s.

      So you drove her around and she was supposed to reciprocate with F & C and then ducked out. And she does this all the time?

      not cool and does she do this to her other friends

      because while you are a friend to her she is not a friend to you

      and so many hugs

      I hope the DT can be your internet friends 😘

        I think she’s better with her other friends but tbh… I really don’t have that much in common with her other than some mutual acquaintances from uni. Her likes and personality are totally different from mine. I think I bore her too but I’m not about to be a doormat about it either. Probably better for us both to let things go.

      That’s really rude if they spent that much time on the phone when they’re hanging out with you.

      Drop them and don’t look back.

        I don’t know if it’s also a young person thing (one of my very few friends more than 2 yrs younger than me) but I will say I always make it a point not to be on my phone when I’ve specifically arranged to be with others - it really saddens me when others don’t reciprocate. Maybe it’s how others feel comfortable around their friends but it doesn’t work for me.

    just got home five minutes ago. Hot. Had half a small eskimo pie, will reheat some curry and veg for dinner. Then make the cat tree and get Ted’s scratching mat. Fix the washing machine. Then I might have that bath.

    I did wash the floors at the old place, cleaned inside all the cupboards and got the scuffs off the walls. Oven isn’t perfect but it’s ok. It looks as good as it can.

    good bye house, it’s where i endured the covid lock down and had a bit of a life at uni and lygon st. 😿 It’s where Bill and Ted came to join my little family. It’s also where I cemented a really good relationship with Miss Seagoon and got to know Young Mr Seagoon very well. 😊

    Three gins worth of cleaning and dancing round the apartment. Need to pass the mop over the floors and do some clothes sorting but mostly done. And I wake up tomorrow to a clean kitchen.

    Night all ♥️

    Lock down drill at MissGod school today. Robot Baby was involved. Luckily it didn’t cry. But what if?

    Terrible things to consider this day and age.

    At the beach with a not particularly close friend for maybe the last truly warm evening… I don’t hate the beach but man, give me a wide open plain or mountain forest or even a treed river bank any day. Something about the gritty sand and seagulls and stuff in the sand and the endless expanse of the water just makes me feel meh.

    It’s cool for people watching when it isn’t too hectic though.

    Here’s an important question that no one asked for.

    Which shoe do you put on first left or right?

    i’m a lefty and put the left first but it just dawned on me it doesn’t make a difference.

    What a shitty week. Work finally done, going to go for a walk to soak up the last of the warmth. Then I need to make my chocolate pie for a friends dinner tomorrow, will have a beer during to make it more fun. THEN I can relax.

        I made it for a new year party and it was a hit! So going to impress different friends with it.

        Here’s the recipe I use. I don’t bother with the cream topping for a pie I need to transport and want to make the day before eating, and it’s still very nice without it. But I’d do it for a home pie.

        And there’s usually some leftover chocolate filling you can eat on its own.

        Last time I did a biscoff base instead of Oreo like the recipe calls for, this time I’ll try the Oreo.

        I love making sweet pies haha

    Oh man, it’s the evening for the blues. Today’s episode of The Pitt unsurprisingly hit so hard. Doesn’t matter that what happened was telegraphed a mile away, Noah Wyle’s acting in that last minute fucking destroyed me. Had a big ugly cathartic cry and still tearing up over it. While also just overwhelmed by the competency porn. Y’all really need to watch this show (with several boxes of tissues). Best medical show ever

    Over the hump of being drained of all energy, which is nice, but lizard brain really wants to have a drink this weekend. We’ll see.

    Hoping for a swim after work if it’s not too nasty, since it’ll be the last warm day for a while. Been 2 weeks since my last date with the paddleboard and I miss it sorely!

    Sitting outside thinking about what I am gonna do when I stop smoking to keep myself occupied. Here’s a list. Yo-yo, play the recorder, totem tennis, shoot flies, play battleships, keyboard. What’s your suggestions?

      Crochet comes to mind. Easy to carry around, takes up quite a lot of hand attention and you end up (usually!) with a usable article. Also mandarins are great to make one’s mouth a lot less cigarette friendly. Also peppermints but mandarins are more effective imo.

      Collage, crochet/finger knitting, gardening, experimental baking, revive macrame, try sculpture, adult colouring books, word/number/jigsaw puzzles, hook rugs or embroidery, become a meme lord, millinery, furniture restoration, darts, shoot some hoops, dancing… ok some of those are a bit silly. But with the time you’ll have and money you’ll save you can just about take up leatherwork, stained glass window making or anything really.

      Edit: photography.
