🍫HAPPY EASTER🍫
Oh… Would have been my wedding anniversary today… I feel … Ok. Will always have residual anger-sadness that I wasn’t a ‘good enough woman’ and melancholy that the whole thing left me very never wanting to do it again. But at peace. And as these things go it was amicable and as good as it could be.
Just because things don’t work out with a person, doesn’t mean that you’re not “good enough.” I’m glad you’re far enough away from that past that you can look back on it as the past, if that makes sense.
I totally agree.
All the making people feel they aren’t good enough, that’s nothing but nastiness and control.
I still feel angry at my family of origin and ex.
I was engaged for a long time and feel the same on a particular day of the year. I was very much “not good enough”, but over the years I’ve learned that sometimes people want things we simply cannot give them.
So true. And often on both sides. Thanks. Hugs.
That’s rough. I hope you can reframe the good enough part. That’s something I work on in a slightly different context, and it’s hard. hugs
Yeah. There’s some water under the bridge now and we are mates and it’s ok. Just jumps up when you least expect it. Hugs back
Oh. Here’s some chocolate 🍫 to add to your stash.
Hehee. That makes everything better
Big hugs from me too. Rough. :(
Thanks
so many hugs
Thanks mate.
Happy Feaster to all! Jeez that Lindor ball chocolate stuff is rich as 🤰🏻I regret nothing! A BBQ will be had this Arvo which, if I time it right, will eliminate the need for cooking dinner.
In other news I’m trying to teach myself to crochet with YouTube videos and an ancient book. Great hobby to take up when my work is very hand related, bloody genius move 🤦🏻♀️ But behold, my first project!
It is actually wearable, which I’m actually shocked by, but even more shocking is both Minipeelers actually like it! The ancient book:
That is a most excellent book!
It reads like some indecipherable language but I’ll get there!
That’s very good work, the stitches are so even.
And it will be warmer than you expect. 😊👍
Oh thankyou!
Is it a condom?
An Irish one
Put in another 50 applications in yesterday.
Please Easter Bunny, just let me get an interview.
🐰🙏
Happy respawn day. Bless us all.

Driving back’s going to be fun fun fun. Enjoy the good weather while you can.
A local church minister popped into my work one day to wish me a happy Easter and I replied with “Merry Christmas Colin” in front of a room full of people that I was supervising.
Yep, over did it
Perfect
Clothes washed and hung, burrito consumed, car washed, wiper fluid refilled, coffee & hot cross bun acquired. That’s me for the day done. Guess I’ll play some video games.
I want a burrito 😞

Skippy Easter vs Greaster: which side of the family will have better food? Might make some pancakes this morning.
Greaster for sure!
Ortho-Easter? A while to go yet.
Chillos did good this year.
Gorgeous colours.
Hell yeah!
That’s excellent.
Pretty.
No Sleep team member checking in. I suspect the cause was an evening coffee, which is something I don’t normally do. Doesn’t matter, can have a sleep in
tomorrowtoday.NSTM here too 😎
For me it’s because I may have not kept up on the upkeep and cleaning while I was sick, and the housemate would go postal if he saw how many dishes are in the sink
I’m so glad tomorrow is also a PH because I think I need a day off after seriously looking at cars online. Last time I bought a car was pre-covid… 💸
It’s looking like with my current options for 2nd jobs, neither one actually requires me to have a personal car even to commute to the worksite, so I’m thinking I should curtail my initial spend on the car, and keep the money for servicing later on (which, with less frequent use, would be padded out over a longer time I presume). Maybe an older car (10-15 years old) with higher kms (120-175k). But not an absolute shitbox either. There’s a handful of promising options around the 9k mark (which used to get you a pretty decent car 😭)
So far I’m leaning towards a Mazda 3 in the 2007-2013 sort of range. Couple of Honda Civic hatchbacks that look promising too. While I try to figure out how to spend less I’m also reminding myself how much more bloody convenient it would be to have my own wheels again.
$9k is a good budget. I spent $6.5k on a shitbox station car, had to select from less than ideal options, went for the safer option in the end. (Side airbags)
Yeah, under the $7.5k mark the options start to look dicey. The savings would not be worth the headache for me. I’d also like the car to be good enough for my niece to practice in when she gets her Ls. (She or her dad can pay for a car with all the latest safety features later on if they want)
I’ve kept the 10k from selling my last car aside and untouched separate to other savings, so I do have breathing room in that range. But I definitely have had to sit down and be realistic about my expectations esp after 3 months of not working. Sure I was spoiled by driving a late model hybrid car for work, but if buying something that nice now means I have to work my arse off for the next 2 years, I’d much rather have the financial freedom.
Can I sleep for three days please
I grew up reading these comics and now, finally, it’s an animated series. The Furry Freak Brothers. It looks interesting. The cat is now female.
