    Something happened a few years ago that really poisoned my view of being vulnerable around partners.

    Today I had my first psych session about dealing with it.

    I’m really proud of myself.

          Use the header syntax (# ) before the emoji. It’s also ‘H’ in the formatting toolbar.

    Every morning I greet my little dog with “Good morning princess. Would you like breakfast?” And every morning he responds with a meow. We don’t care who hears us.

    The cats did not want to let me up aside from to feed them, which was not a problem, except I had to do a Coles run.
    On;ly problem was that by the time I’d peeled myself out from under, showered etc and gone down, the day was nearly over.
    Eh well, I’ve been hard at it most of the week with Operation Sort Shit so a slow day certainly won’t hurt.

      Is that the one at Kew junction? I used to live near there many years ago, and it was a complete dive.

      Bboi Butters knows he can cook those at home for a fraction of the price

      Just had a look at the menu myself out of curiosity, it’s not in my neck of the woods so I’m unlikely to go anyway, but… wow. Ur Bois response is apt. I don’t know what irritates me more, the prices or the irregular sizing of the numbers on the prices throughout the menu.

            He has just been rewarded with a walk, the most valuable treat he knows. There will of course be cuddles availble this evening too, if he can tear himself away from the front room long enough to collect.

    I have shopped till I dropped! And by dropped I mean sat down due to chronic pain. Though I have to say I have done a lot better. Got some manga’s, I even went to incub8r (for those who love artist alley at conventions this is one way to support artists. They have a lot of fan stuff, I love it!). And I got a book I’ve been wanting for a few months now.

    Only downside is that I didn’t get the manga I really wanted. But I am happy with what I have. I hope everyone has had a good Saturday!

    Another fun night of guitar. Came up with a really awesome part that’ll be great in another track that’s on the go. Once this one is finished it’s time to go back and do the vocals. Then I can start auditioning band members. Fun times!

    Just say your kid has gone out for the night (and overnight) and you find some special biscuits that have been in the cupboard for the past 2ish years would you give them a crack? Also would you wash them down with a large Coles express coffee even though you’ve already had two large coffees and a cup of tea today? Also if you were to experiment what comedies would you watch?

    Update: we ate the biscuits. Surprisingly still crispy but with a slightly out of date taste. Ah well let’s see.
