I completed a major declutter and sort of my bedroom today. Turns out its not a small and cramped room, I just had too much stuff in it 🤣
Miss Meow has thoroughly examined everything and I believe she approves.

I could see the light show but no rumbles here
digestive question
add a bunch more fibre friendly foods with the whole less cholesterol thing, but my stomach gets real weird about coffee now. It was always iffy to begin with, but now I’m getting a lot more grumbling and feeling a bit bloated. Does that eventually settle as my gut gets used to more fibre?
you should settle
I'm going to be honest - my stomach is used to higher fibre from childhood but after deciding it didn't like coffee over the last few years, it has never been able to handle regular coffee + high fibre. Would just come straight out sometimes minutes after having coffee. Got to the point that I couldn't handle lots more things, oatmeal in particular. Tried all the fermented foods and no dice.
The only way I've been able to recondition my gut, sadly, was go completely off coffee AND tea for the last two months, and I've only been able to do that (without being a completely useless and sad fuck) by getting onto ADHD meds. I'm now able to eat oatmeal and even fibrous fruit smoothies again after 3 years, without a firehose out the rear end. And I can have the occasional coffee without any gut issues
My coffee issues were MOSTLY sorted after the colonoscopy last year. I mean, if I go eat a bunch of lactose free cheese for breakfast then a coffee I'd be in trouble. But yeah its clearly not happy now.

Yes, your gut will settle down. One thing that I've found that helped was the good old Metamucil - the unflavored sort. Add to juice or smoothies or just stir some into anything sufficiently liquid. Probiotics may also help your gut grow a range of microbugs to cope with the new diet. If you can tolerate yoghurt, that helps too - choose the live strain versions not the stuff labelled as greek yoghurt that contains a lot of gelatin as a thickener. Real greek yoghurt is fine, it's just the fake stuff that might not help much. Fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut helps your gut grow goodbugs too.

I see Melbourne summer has finally clunked into gear. And it's always a clunk. Never a smooth transition. Just spiteful chaos.
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone Stars let me down last night sadly
Ceo - 14 Duenan - 11
Tonight we have the Scorchers vs the Sixers in Perth.
Your pick for tonight. Good luck!
Scorchers. Good luck!
Hey @Duenan@aussie.zone who's your favourite cricket commentator and who's the worst?
Oohh jeez. That’s a real tough one to be honest.
So many to choose from!
I quite like Andy Maher and Lisa Sthalekar along with Brad Hodge.
For some reason JL annoys me.
How about for you?
Exactly the same as you but I'll add Flemo in there as a favourite too. Ricky Ponting shits me up the wall. He's too analytic. For goodness sake it's a glorified backyard cricket game not a test. Calm down.
Sometimes I watch it through foxtel so Adam Gilchrist is good.
I also really like the youi ad where Flemo puts a batting pad on the dog. It makes me laugh every time.
I was going to add Flemo as well but I thought I might had too many favourites already.
They’d just good fun to listen to and a little bit more lighthearted.
I’ve probably heard Gilchrist’s voice but I don’t think I recognise it yet.
Hehe yeah the padding and bubble wrap ads are pretty funny.
