      I was tempted at the shops just now but I already had an early dinner of stodgy soup. Instead I will finish up this jar of salsa with a new bag of corn chips yeehaw

    The bedside tables are assembled!

    They may win the award for worst designed flat pack I’ve ever experienced. Multiple screws with a hex fitting recessed into the wood so you can’t get tools into them and can only turn a hex key less than a quarter turn before having to reposition. Plus a couple of instructions that were physically impossible. I had to make a few alterations to make it possible to get them together, but I think they are done solidly enough. The quality of the actual components is good and I like the overall design, but actually putting them together was definitely not something I’d want to repeat.

    Slices of pork belly in the air fryer - suitably marinated. Have worked out how to cook them and get the skin crispy. Tinfoil you are my friend in this endeavour.

          Yeah fair enough. CBD worked well for one of my friends but it’s not for everyone. For me a combination of exercise, meditation and reading before bed has helped. Hopefully you find a solution.

          I don’t want to be one of those people, but have you tried sleep restriction? I’m not sure if it’s cognitive or biological or a mix of both in your case, but what about CBT-I?

            I’m pretty sure it’s because of my anti depressant. But I can’t mess around with it for another few weeks due to all the other stuff that’s happening.

            I’ve got a referal to a sleep clinic which I’ll attend next week.

            But cheers for the suggestion, I’ll look into it :)

    Melbcat seems okay. I’m waiting to see if the latest issue resolves but she’s got a good appetite, is washing herself, and got up to curiously follow a visitor around. She doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable or have pain.

    She keeps giving me the biggest fright 😅

    porridge eaten, dog walked, two loads of washing on the line drying, cat cuddles underway. Today is going fairly well. Except for my grinder dying (with a minor smell of electrical burning just to be dramatic). I shall have to order a new one.

    Edit: I have now ordered a new one.

    shells i got yesterday

    these are Pacific Ocean shells, they are big, but then the bigger ones are more likely to survive the rocky shore and waves intact

    one of them is just a piece of a tun shell ( these are usually very big ) but I often pick up pieces just to know what kind of shells are around

    That was actually a really uplifting and lovely psych session?! Yay! ☺️ I might not even need to see her for a while even though I’m still undecided as to whether I should terminate my lease and dump all my stuff in storage, or just pay rent until I get back. Leaving my stuff here is much, much easier, but I don’t want to be in the same rut. A lot hinges on whether I can trust myself to courageously move towards change if I come back to the same place.

    I can feel a decision bubbling up though. And other ways in which to address that yearning for a powerful driver of change

    Today was AWESOME, met so many familiar and wonderful faces at this event and really recharged, invigorated by the presentations and this glorious sun has really perked me up as well. Wrapped up early and probably not working tomorrow, but I’ll have at least earned some extra dough this week and have a bit more breathing space to catch up on life stuff. I might even look up what’s on this weekend. But for the next couple of hours, it’s journalling time before the psych

        For sure! Although I would’ve liked to work a bit tomorrow and pile up the cash, I’m also grateful to have an actual weekday breather - last week I worked a full day on the day I submitted my assignment, and it’s been full days this week too. Tomorrow I can take my time to chill out at a park or head out somewhere nice without too many crowds. Start reconnecting to who the hell I am outside of work and study
