    Went to the zoo with the kids for the dinos alive event. The zoo is much better with kids than I expected. They could run around safely to get them out of the pram and there’s a great kid’s room near the entry.

    My boy is still a bit scared of dinosaurs when they move and make noise but they still had a good time overall

    Second weekend in a row of being stuck in bed due to health condition being flared up due to working in the office the day before.

    Not happy. The employer changed their wfh arrangements after I’d started work with them ☹️

    The last bit of healing from the breakup is self-forgiveness. The relationship ended and he blocked me everywhere because I sent him a message that was childish and kind of rude l. In hindsight, I was anxiously attached and codependent, and even the tiniest bit of distance sent me on a worry frenzy. That was combined with things in the relationship that made me feel like he didn’t care, like telling me I should be sending good quality memes when I sent him virtual flowers lol.

    I obviously know better now and vow to never act batshit crazy again, but the embarrassment and shame just cause me to spiral a bit when I’m feeling down. I just dwell on shit a bit too much.

      These feelings will eventually diminish down into a light cringe moment. We all have acted ridiculous at times, and I can vouch I have acted batshit insane before. And the memories hurt because, we’re not really like that, and it triggers other memories and feelings and events. But it will eventually become another faded memory to make you cringe in the night and giggle about to friends at brunch.

      We get silly and serious and we fall in and out of love, fickle and fully invested. We send memes and lovey gifs, we profess our love and ask for reciprocation. We’re just human, and we’ve been batshit crazy since we were messing around the fertile crescent. Cringe, but take solace in the knowledge that you are an amazing human doing amazing things. Put to rest any feelings of shame. You are beautiful and are doing great!

    Watching an Attenborough thing with the p’s tonight.

    My old man is a conservative (staunchly votes libs nats he’s a doc, man of science)… was basically about climate / ecological collapse, shit is grim (and it didn’t hit the sides).

    "Bottom, you should get the word out, your generation needs to do this’.

    Pointed out he’d been voting for cunts bringing coal into parliament…

    It. did. not. end. well.

    I am just going to leave the room next time a bit more quietly with less colourful language when these issues come up.

      I could hear your dad’s statement in that exact Kew grandpa voice. I would also advise quietly leaving next time…

      I’ve stopped worrying about climate change, or at least stopped arguing.

      When stuff needs to happen for national security reasons the government will force change, and when too much money is lost to disaster payouts insurance companies will force change.

      It might not happen soon enough but it will happen.

    Just beat Bayle in the Elden Ring DLC. I’ve found a lot of the boss fights since Dark Souls 3 felt like cheap and tedious slogs, but I really liked this one.

    The NPC quest line leading up to the fight was great too, as well as seeing where you fight him before the showdown.

    I think Elden Ring has the best NPC questlines since the first Dark Souls and the DLC just keeps that going

      I got home a bit late and am hoping I can get even just 30 minutes of my towels drying outside. Not much chance of doing it next week so today was my best shot, it’s probably the one thing it would be nice to have a dryer for.

    The subwoofer is in! Didn’t damage anything (more).

    I wasn’t able to really use it back home because it was too much.

    Forgot how loud it was. Which brings us to yet another rave choooon

    Bit of a Balancing Act moving it around so happy that’s over. All I need to do now is sand and paint the filled bit of wall I fucked and all will be okay.

      Hang a picture over it. Shit plaster looks way better behind a picture.

    I’ve achieved nothing so far today except having the best sleep I’ve had all week, which should hopefully help my stupid illness go away sooner. My voice is gone from all the dry coughing. I remembered I have cough syrup from previous sickness and that seems to be helping.
