    aldis got a camping sale coming up. If any of you were thinking “man, I’d love to try camping but dont have the gear” this is a pretty good entry point. Kmart is even cheaper (but you get what you pay for there).

    I just went outside and someone was smoking a big fat smelly joint.

    I miss it; made me realise why my sleep is fucked up - I haven’t had medical in months now. Always tired and unrested.

    I hate how expensive it is. Fuck I need a job so I can sleep again.

      Uhh, you sure it’s not the six hour nap? More exercise will help your sleep too. It usually only takes me a week to shake the no pot insomnia.

        Haha yes the 6 hour nap had a lot to do with it! I mean just my sleep rhythm in general. I use medical for cptsd symptoms, mainly night-terrors and subsequent insomnia. It stops me from waking up during the bad dreams/terrors, meaning I’m not avoiding sleep, and subsequently falling asleep during the day.

        I do need to exercise more in general anyway, which I’m sure would help significantly!

          Cptsd is a different story from regular no weed insomnia. Most of my friends buy off market as its still cheaper than prescribed.

    Steven Wilson released a new album recently and I’m digging it. His last few albums had more of an attempted pop spin on them whereas this one is two songs that go for around 20 minutes each. I don’t think we’ll get another Hand. Cannot. Erase. but it’s good to see a turn in that direction again.

        I can appreciate To The Bone more now knowing he bought a Telecaster and pretty much wrote the album with it, but I love the sweeping prog albums he did earlier and with Porcupine Tree

    Three days into a hardcore diet change and while I know it’s what I needed to do to break some bad habits… ouchhhhh… just a hurdle to get over though!

      your still setting the routine. It gets easier when you start to feel better from it and the habit sets in.

        Boyo and I have decided that this time, yeah, it does need to be hardcore. We keep finding excuses to be lax and dance around the issues, so going all in together to be better supports.

          It is so good to have an encouraging partner. My husband is my underpaid PT. But unless one of you has done this before with success, hardcore may not be the way to go.

          I wish you all the best and I can’t wait to hear your wins. ❤️

            We’ve both done is separately before with great success - and both “fell off the wagon” due to completely reasonable circumstances, so I have a good feeling about this!

            Underpaid PT, I love it. I’m sure he’s paid in love and karaoke! Thanks for your support, CEO!

    I know I keep saying tinyest’s language is exploding. but hes now repeating almost all words said to him (or trying to anyway). He can now say “if you say so” and uses 2 words together pretty frequently. Sadly its “daddy, no” a lot of the time. But hes also become a lot less stingy with his hugs. And you best be prepared cause sometimes they are surprise hugs.

      One of my boys is a real talker. He’s at the same stage saying things like “this is mine”, “See you later”, and “see you tomorrow”. My girlfriend asked him what I do at work and he said “Helping old people” because that’s what she says to him when I go do my tech support sessions.

      Once kids start talking, it’s great!!! You’re in for a good time.

      A warning, kids have no filter. They say exactly what they see.

    I’m just tired and don’t feel up to the drama of potential scammers. I’m just gonna buy from reliable big stores now or buy on sight.

    oh, and I did some image searches, the items I were interested on ebay were not described correctly, they were great items but described ikea etc 😠

      For new stuff sure. I’ve found facebook and marketplace pretty reliable. People are so happy to deal with a genuine seller/buyer.

    So I have a choice to make about this friday that I need to make today to ask for leave.

    Friday’s are usually a light work day 9 out 10 times.

    Should I take it off this week or stick it out and just spend the day at work?

    Ted is such a champ. Here he is enjoying the balcony. 🙂

    And I found Bill after much searching , grabbed him, put him in bathroom with food water and a tray. He is better n. He must have felt so uncomfortable, poor little guy.
