    Was a good idea to come down here. Needed this. Back tm though but that’s okay.

    Got a shitload done. Good escape.

    And…

    First fire in about a year down here.

    I am so so very lucky to be able to use this place no questions asked. Mental health wise it is a godsend rn. The space, shit to do, beach.

    While out for my grocery shop I ran into an old friend and we ended up catching up for awhile on things.

    I didn’t want to leave but I was coming to the end of my free parking.

    Had a good time!

        We probably haven’t seen each other since Covid.

        Since she’s had 2 kids and is currently on maternity leave from work.

        Wish we had more time but maybe if things work out we might meet again next week.

    Of course my period starts on the full moon. All signs point to me being a witch, but I didn’t get my letter to Strewthwarts School of Bewitchin’ and Broomin’, just saying.

    Hmm my Aunty tried to ring me.

    I let it ring out.

    A couple of weeks ago she tried to persuade me again to get the others to agree to the settlement of the will.

    I refused to do it and told her so.

        You don’t need to get stressed.

        If I had answered the phone I would have pushed back quite hard and yelled at her.

        She’s trying to use me and I know it.

            It’s something but she’s trying to get me to get in contact with everyone and to sway their vote so to speak.

              I’m sorry, this is just triggering me into remembering how abusive FIL’s last wife was and how she forged the will

              I have a deep rage regarding everyone involved, cowards and fools the lot of them

                  It was others who were the victims but I am just angry that no one stood up for themselves and others and wouldn’t let me do anything either.

    Had an excellent swim with a new best amount of laps in a row which feels bloody excellent. Hopefully haven’t killed myself for the class tomorrow.

    Now for wine, because balance. 🥂

    Melbcat is being very squeaky and squirmy. She’s learned to cry for the heater to go on, for extra snacks of wet food, and sometimes for no reason I can see. I’m hoping she’s just jealous of the computer getting attention. Maybe she just wants love.

    I’m playing games way too much but right now it’s just what I’m doing.

    Pork roast is in the oven for dinner. I had a big piece so I’ve cut it in half and will do some sort of pulled pork for tacos with the other half. I put it on late so it won’t be ready for a while, I might need to organise cheese and crackers to tide me over until then.

    Getting better at drums.

    If I slow the part down by 50% and play it a few times I can speed back up and play it well most of the time.

    I kinda like being a beginner with an instrument. I love that learning experience when you go from nothing to doing reasonably wel.

    I hadn’t been following any news about The Pitt for a while but all the allegations coming out now about Tracy Ifeochor (Dr Collins) being asked to leave and not being in s2 are really sad. I can’t believe she is part of a virulently homophobic church that promotes conversion therapy. Like how do you even get into TV and film acting in the modern era with these kinds of strongly held beliefs? Puts a new spin on her portrayal of a character handling some difficult conversations about abortion…

    Had to have a serious chat to the team today.

    I’ve put a target on my back by giving them a lot of autonomy and they were starting to get complacent.

    I got the message across I think, without being too confrontational.

      Probably good to remind them that there is a consequence for not getting past a certain threshold if you’ve given them autonomy.

      You’re ultimately accountable for them.
