Ok now I'm low key panicking a bit.. I'll be working Monday and Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday for a time. Got to wrap gifts this weekend and prepare foods as much as possible. The family had a vote and apparently unanimously voted for my Basque cheesecake as the Christmas dessert instead of pudding or other traditional stuffs 🤔
Hun, listen, you are not a machine. You can only do so much. I understand you want to please everyone but you need to pull back sometimes so you don't burn out. Prioritise your tasks. Make it easier for YOU. Your family will not hate you if you don't give them a cheesecake for Christmas.
Ps. Get the mini peelers to make a chocolate ripple cake instead. Much easier and they get to decorate it.
They sell the copper for cash. It's not the first time the wiring was stolen from this area's train line either. There are a few kms where the train line goes thru parkland and industry that are basically so remote thieves can steal with little chance of detection
What did I get? Some rice paper spring rolls with mint and tofu, sweet sour chicken, special fried rice, green curry. It should last a few days. 🙂
Pilates with a physio was surprisingly effective if slow (noodle person). I lost it all over the time we don’t talk about and can’t really regain but it’s worth a try if you can afford it or get it covered.
I am currently in peak hunchback phase but previously I've done well with both gym (super simple jog + upper back and shoulder machines) and yoga. Yoga I like because it builds strength but if taught well also helps your nervous system so you aren't holding on so tight. I've not been back to a studio since they all got so expensive after COVID but there's good YouTube stuff. Yoga with Adrienne is probably the most popular absolute basics and she usually has a 30 day challenge in Jan.
Some years ago, I did Pilates once a week. It was great for tone and flexibility. I don’t know if it specifically helps with posture, but you know that wobbliness that you can get trying to do a slow controlled movement? Its good for that kind of stuff. It does take time and consistency though, not a quick fix. A lot of posture problems can come from lack of core strength, both Pilates and yoga would be good if that’s where the issue is.
I'm a killer for my crime family. I run into our competitors killer (who is also my ex) and she tells me she's dying from an injury I gave her a long time ago.
Once our guard is down we have a genuine conversation. She tells me it's a matter of days now till she's gone and I promise to stay with her until the end.
I go and tell my family, and they're overjoyed that she'll be dead soon.
I'm miserable about it.
I go and spend her last days with her.
We connect on a deep level, and I'm really torn up that she won't be around much longer.
I had a dream that two world renowned psychologists were using me as a training demonstration for three of their students. They were going to cure me of my alcoholism by telling me a story but it ended up being a story about spicy fried chicken which I tried and it wasn't even spicy.
Enlisted a friend to help move some junk from my sunroom as part of a Christmas clean up. It's so much nicer now. Rest of the apartment is trashed but I think that might be tomorrows problem. Am tired
Just heard Jathan Sadowski on an episode of Download This Show. I never thought I'd hear him on there. I was a little concerned when Rae Johnston was going to take over from Marc Fennel but she's doing a great job and is bringing more tech skepticism to the show than Marc's intended neutral tech news premise
Went to the new park I've been keeping an eye on because it's finally open. It's a decent area, certainly things that child have been done better. But more importantly, I need to check it out for riding to and from work, that's what I've been waiting for with this park

Much love ❤️
^^^ all of this!!
We voted and decided handing out kit kats was fine if you were expected to do all the effort. xo
draw up a chart with tasks, ask minis what they can do, assign tasks to the minis
Going to friends house for roast. I don't know what kind. Please pray for lamb but really I'll eat anything.
Roast cooked by someone else? Superb every time!
first a pic from my garden 🫠
Perfection!
😍
It's a happy thing. Makes everyone smile. 🙂
what a shit day, trains did not help
going into city, meth head at station playing chicken with jumping off the platform, super high scary, I called security
coming home, trains cancelled because thieves stole the copper wiring of the signally system , took an extra hour
shops I wanted to go to were closed 🙄
At least dinner was good. Shout out to Green Fields Vietnamese on Sydney Road

I just didn't wanna cook.
I didn't get thrown off for being underage. Did anyone not survive the new regulations? I sent this to the mods: ::: spoiler spoiler ___ :::
I've not yet heard back from Molly, though some have. Nath busy, not panicking.
Thanks for the update. It must be chaos working out ages.
Have not heard back from Molly either but I’m still around so I take that as a yes
off to shops, when home will be making lists and timetables , I have the menu organised, just have to do the shopping and cooking
i'm getting a little excited, will be seeing friends for xmas and the young seagoons are coming on new years day 😺

Edit for spelling
You can start with chair yoga which is really not scary https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1DYH5ud3zHo

If you’re interested, tai chi has balance exercises. Can’t find videos of the drills I used to do.
The warmups or dao yin/qi gong are good for strengthening, movement control and opening up a slouched posture.
I wish I was able to go back to lessons
Edit: Also maybe make sure you don’t actually have mild scoliosis that never got diagnosed, because a couple of people I know turned out to
yes, the gym is great as you have a coach/instructor
I suggest getting a gym buddy , they help you with getting exercises right and with motivation
also having a regular habit helps
I’ve been to t(e market and had a little nap
I put on Mariah of my own free will.🎄

What a lovely start to my break
Dream:
I'm a killer for my crime family. I run into our competitors killer (who is also my ex) and she tells me she's dying from an injury I gave her a long time ago.
Once our guard is down we have a genuine conversation. She tells me it's a matter of days now till she's gone and I promise to stay with her until the end.
I go and tell my family, and they're overjoyed that she'll be dead soon.
I'm miserable about it.
I go and spend her last days with her.
We connect on a deep level, and I'm really torn up that she won't be around much longer.
She dies and I wake up.
That’s a heavy dream.
I woke up miserable
Hate that! You know it's not real but still feel shite.
I had a dream that two world renowned psychologists were using me as a training demonstration for three of their students. They were going to cure me of my alcoholism by telling me a story but it ended up being a story about spicy fried chicken which I tried and it wasn't even spicy.
so many hugs

Yumm!
Where is the rain. I was promised rain.
It's here. I have it. I'll send some your way.
Very suspicious if you ask me
It spat on me, and then seemed to think better lol
Day 1
Naps have become my new hobby. I'm "catching up on sleep". Certainly not falling into a zonk void.

Feck, couple of neighbours have their bins out a day early. What do?
