geebus, just got a hate letter from a neighbour in my mailbox, not against me but against my really nice Asian neighbour who does furniture making as a hobby. ( he occasionally uses power tools but not often, maybe a few times a week and only for a few minutes ) Coward didn't even sign their name. Hate letter that didn't sign their name or implicitly asked for specific action, just did rumour mongering and appeals to self interest.

People sicken me. It's hard to find compassion in this scenario.
I sniggered when they mentioned they had gone to the police but the police did nothing!!
Of course they didn't you racist fuck, the neighbour is doing nothing wrong or illegal.
Iโve had a neighbour try to report me to the police for having long grass/messy yard.
Bish, Iโm disabled and youโre the reason Iโve been too scared to go out there to fix it
Bonus: They hung over a high fence to take the pictures so itโs not like they would even see it unless trying to
Ugh, crazy/malicious neighbours are the worst. Be careful and avoid that one as they tend to target multiple people.
Especially if they try to get you to join them in bullying someone else but you refuse
Absolute fucking coward.
Alright, I'm getting there. Spent the whole day carefully going through every last drawer and cupboard for stuff to donate. No time for fb marketplace although I could've made some decent coin off some of these - especially a couple of vintage bakeware items and an almost new vintage Corningware dish. I got em all for free so some op shop will benefit instead.
Two carloads later, between those and the remaining plants/pots, and the big shit that won't fit in the bin, and pillows/towels for the RSPCA - and the tables sold on FBM - that's a lotta crap gone. Gotta love these Honda hatchbacks with Tardis-like volume and the magic seats ๐
Now to pack the remaining stuff for the movers to take tomorrow, mainly the kitchen stuff. The end is in sight...!
yay ๐บ
You got this! You have formidable talents for organisation.
So close! You've been through a hell of a lot the last few weeks. Hopefully you can have some peace soon :)
I thought things would get easier with sunny weather but theyโre still really hard. My mood is dipping really low and Iโve not been sleeping well. Itโs bad.
Iโm noticing the zucchini are wilting a bit in the heat. Makes sense. Theyโre growing fast but their roots arenโt reaching down to the bottom of the big pots yet, so they would be getting a bit dry.
I was thinking of some drip spikes or terracotta pots used as ollas but that requires ordering stuff. I donโt really want to get it delivered in case of theft and donโt want to pester someone to get it for me. I did see buried plastic bottles with pinpricks in them used for the purpose so I can make do with what I already have. Itโll also be a lot cheaper.
spoiler
(The water bottles are for the high pain/fatigue days when I can barely get out of bed. I feel bad about it and never used to buy bottled water but right now am kind of just doing what I can to get by.)
so many hugs, there is no shame in doing what you can ๐๐๐
Iโve fallen into so many bad habits because I just canโt physically do what I used to.
All I can do is justify it by reminding myself that I am still pretty frugal and have a low footprint in other ways
G.B.H. gig this month. I canโt do it. I canโt watch crusty old dudes trying to re-live in glory days. Doesnโt matter what band it is.
Spent a lot of time practising piano and counting is still hard. But at least I'm getting a tiny bit better. Will practise more tomorrow and hopefully the bars I keep stuffing up will come.
I find tapping my foot or (as silly as it sounds) nodding my head to the beat I'm trying to hold helps a lot.
Dinner tonight was an unmitigated disaster.
and we laughedโฆ
Dinner's ready! Lasagne and a stupidly large amount of salad.
I didn't exist yesterday. Today, I am drinking with my second cousin (dad's cousin). She is a riot, and will drink us all under the table, just like her dad lol. She is one of my favourite people, and I only see her every few years when she comes down from Brisbane.
I can't believe I'm related to this beautiful, smart, witty woman. She is my inspiration ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ผ
I want to get off this wild ride
I haven't achieved much today but I've turned black bananas into banana choc chip muffins and they're delicious.
Banana bread again here!
Double batch banana bread here. One for lunch boxes for the week and the other I'll slice and freeze.
I made banana bread the other day. Cleaned out my freezer, found another 7 bananas. They're breeding in there.
I dropped the pill cutter and half an antibiotic tablet has disappeared into thin airโฆ
I find tablets when I move the fridge for cleaning, it's a pharmacy under there!
I looked with a torch before but donโt see itโฆ it does need a clean underneath though. Iโm debating whether moving it is worth the risk of injury
Choc chunk cookies are in the oven and the Xmas tree is up. I am back in favour with my kids once more ๐
Bit early?
The kids wanted to put it up about 2 weeks ago. I said no way it's too early man! But that argument's redundant when the shops have had Xmas stuff in stock for the last month. Ah what can you do.
I put up the outdoor xmas lights 2 weeks ago ๐
I just had a hot cross bun.
You win.
I've trained the sparrow to land on my shoulder or arm now. ๐
If you look hard enough at the hero's of history, you are likely to find some unpleasant things. Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Winston Churchill. I could go on.
Don't be delulu about human nature. There's good and bad in everyone, it's just a matter of degree and hopefully most of the time there's more good than bad.
I love the Dollop podcast - there's like over 500 episodes now so some are ordinary but it's amazing to hear the backstory of people. Often those that are held up as heroes are not but there are amazing stories of lesser known people who fought the good fight their whole life. You can't trust the judgement of history but that doesn't mean there's not goodness.
Hmm might check this out.
The sun has come out for a visit, I think it is a good time to take Mr Woof out for a stroll around the neighbourhood.
struggling with water colour books, I suppose using books meant for pencils just doesn't work ๐ค
special water colour practice book has been ordered
I feel surprisingly good today. At times there's a bit of post birthday blues, but apparently not this year!
Also I forgot I had a car so when I open the kitchen blinds, I was like "oh yeah! FUCK YES!"
Ended up having a really good music sesh as well before I went to bed which felt awesome!
Thanks again for all the birthday wishes, and support over the past year โค๏ธ
Edit: Fluffy and I are going to laze around today I think. No responsibility, no thinking, just rest and recreation :)

Okay:
- Washed
- Chicken sandwich obtained
- Vanilla flan smashed
- Stupidly priced cookies for later
Now just waiting for the rain to pass to see whether I want to be out and about on two wheels. Perfect weather for the one the runs insanely hot. It would be nice to not to straddle 105ยฐ.
Even though I should be sorting this crapshow I have created. I just have such an aversion to it, that it is pretty much reflective of my state of mindโฆ Yep, hot mess.
But also so tempting to just lay in bed. This is when I love the rain.
Edit: I have dangerously climbed back into bed. ๐ฅฑ
