    Poured myself a nice lil drink in my special wine glass (a present from my sister who died a few years ago)… popped it down and sat down to watch our team run out in the NRLW. Second half…and caught it with my hand and smashed it all over the floor.

    I know it’s just stuff but am currently devestated. Fuck you grief it’s been 10 years and now I am in tears because I’ll never get another gift from her. Or watch another footy game with her. Or anything.

    Fuck cancer.

        Too many pieces for kintsugi but thanks for your suggestion. It was a pretty blue glass with a wave pattern and I think I will keep a shard and try to make a little art with it. 💚

          Is it possible that Lemmit sleuths could find the same make and colour of wineglass?

          It’s totally okay if that won’t work and doesn’t make up for the loss. I understand. The glass was irreplaceable.

          It’s just physical gifts tend to be a lot more fragile than the bond with the giver and maybe even if the glass is different now the honouring of your sister is the same?

          Think on it. If you decide you would like that I’m happy to try and help track it down.

      oh no, always hard breaking something like that.

      I’d have to say the studspud’s idea seems like a good one.

      I understand how you feel I have very little from my mother and when I broke one of her things it hurt.

      I hope you feel better ❤️

      That sucks. I’d look it at this way, atleast you used it and enjoyed and that’s better than in a cupboard where it didn’t get looked at. Still sucks though. Hugs 🫂

      It’s ok. It’s not just stuff. I get what you’re going through and it’s really painful. We’re here to listen.

      The wineglass was the last physical gift you had from her but your love for her is forever.

      (Edit: sorry if that’s invalidating, it’s meant to be a comforting thought)

    After planning a lazy nothing day recovering from being sick I got a notification on my phone steam trains were running at our local station. So I got up and got ready so we could ride the train. I’ll need to keep an eye on thebusofdoomfsx to see if he makes a video on it

    Asked ExMrP what his choice of birthday cake is and he chose the Basque Cheesecake. Of course he did! So the plan for today is to go shop for supplies and ingredients, make the cheesecake, get the kids to wrap the gifts so that’s out of the way, take the kids to a park where elder can practice skating and I can do steps, and get shit together for the work/school week, in no particular order.

      4 calling birds, 3 french hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Omit the pear tree if you wish as there’s one on the street corner that I can re-purpose and it could be difficult to carry along with your own purchases.

    Spring has sort of begun.

    It’s clean eating time again.

    Went around with a garbage bag throwing all the half open bags of chips and all the other crap that can’t be donated.

    I’m looking forward to it, but I remember how moody I get the first couple of weeks. It’ll be worth it though.

    Good night all ❤️

    Edit: they’re digging up a roundabout across the road from house all night. Laaaaaaaaame.

    I hate that being laid up for health reasons and feeling uncomfortable with the local area/meetups makes me so unhealthily online. I wish that there were other ways to communicate with online friends than social media, and that I had more freedom to touch grass.

    I would like to eventually return to martial arts for fitness or sign up to formal art classes but right now both of those goals aren’t something I can manage yet.

    I’d like to take more frequent walks but here it’s rough so it isn’t always that safe.

    I took a walk before and got further than usual. Thankfully not too many people were around and no hairy situation happened. But wow it was muggy out there. Feeling a little unwell from the warmth and exertion.

    It’s raining now so the plants and I are grateful.

    I’m thinking perhaps I should just take a break from social minefields tonight and play some Minecraft. It gets a little depressing on singleplayer and I never follow through on plans for builds but perhaps I’ll do some mining with something on in the background. Have a chill Sunday.

    My computer is getting full because I’ve stupidly been putting things on C instead of D drive without realising. I can move the bigger things like pictures and games over to free up space, I’m just a bit worried as doing that in the past has created problems.
