Thank you all for the support yesterday. Reading your messages helped me feel so much better.
Yesterday one of my friends drove half an hour to go for a walk with me (which is more than bar guy would’ve ever done). Then we went to the shops and tried on clothes. Afterwards, we met up with a mutual friend and her friends. The friends were so nice. They gave me really nice hugs, made me punch pillows, talked to me empathetically, bought me KFC because I hadn’t eaten all day, and then we drove to the beach. This experience has shown me that I can do so much better, as someone who hasn’t had a good time socially.
Not getting closure in person and feeling the loss absolutely sucks. It’s going to be sad for a bit. He didn’t even fight for me! I had guys who I’d only been on a few dates with wanting to talk it out and try to problem solve. I should’ve left months ago at my first sign of doubt. But there’s nothing I can do now. Now I know that I need to listen to what my body is telling me, because maybe it isn’t all that shit. I shouldn’t have to cry 30+ times just in a month because that is not normal (yep I have a crying tally whoops).
I also feel fucking relieved. Good riddance. I don’t have to beg for someone to show up for me anymore.
I was looking at pasta recipes with pineapple and apparently it is a thing. It’s called Hawaiian pasta. Everything that’s on a Hawaiian pizza is in the pasta. Genius.

The German TV show “Dark” featured a (nostalgic?) dish called Toast Hawaii. I think it’s just ham and cheese on toast plus a pineapple ring.

Now that I check, Wikipedia says it also had a cherry on top. Wild.
Hahaha. I think I need to do this. Thanks.
I love that show!
Please say you are familiar with the mighty Swineapple
No I’m not. Do tell!
Variants exist, but basically obtain and peel whole fresh pineapple. Core it. Stuff with pork fillet. Wrap entire thing in bacon. BBQ and/or smoke. Food coma.
I just gotta do this for next christmas with fam. The screams will be heard across the border. Might roll the pork fillets in hawt sauce before stuffing though, for extra shits & giggles.
Yesss!
Oh wow! That with some roast spuds. Sensational
Oh my lawd. 10/10 would eat entire thing
Perhaps Chef Bacon can turn you into one
That looks incredible, not gonna lie.
It does! I’m gonna tweak it a bit though.
COVID nightmares are wild
Response to Seagoon: I bought codral, not Sudafed, so that’s prolly why my nose is swollen. I should have bought Sudafed, or spoken to a chemist for the good shit (codeine)
I think I will do one week self care and self organising, then next week doing some stuff around the house and garden. 😊👍
I stupidly ordered nestle hot choc sachets from Amazon without checking the ingredients. Corn syrup dammit. Had the nestle hot choc sachets at a training centre in the city and could only find them on Amazon. Clearly not the same though.
Reminds me, I bought some Milo mocha sachets the other day thinking they’d be nice but they really suck. I can’t taste either the Milo or the coffee, I can only really taste the sugar. Which is understandable, because on top of all the sugar in Milo, they put even more sugar into the sachet. There’s something like 0.5g of coffee in it (not caffeine), which doesn’t seem like a lot
Milo needs to be half the cup these days, or it has no taste. Thank you for the review, won’t bother trying them.
Yep. I got really excited when I saw them and bought 2 boxes, so I might try doubling up and seeing if that helps. But then there’ll probably be more sugar than in a can of coke
That is disappointing. I have them supplied at work, so if you want lots of them you could try an office supply store.
Oooh thank you infinitely much. They make my office days much nicer.
@Seagoon_ I really should be going to bed sometime right about now, yet I’m still procrastinating about doing the dishes…
Good night.
the mornings and evenings in autumn are so full of bird song
Goodnight all ❤️Today begun explosively sneezing blood. Yay……
Oh good it’s not just me wondering what smells like bloody sinuses.
It sure ain’t. And I need to scrub the door. Later. Next week. Probably.
reminds me of the time I washed a load of towels, flapped one out to straighten the fibres and the fucking thing snapped back, hit my nose and I bled.
all over the freshly washed towels.
80 mins until my alarm. Do I try to go back to sleep or just give up and get up?
COVID and my period!? What else? What else Universe!?
WHINGE WHINE WAH
This is NOT the time to break a leg …
😬 I’ll hold off on the jazzercize then
And avoid all ladders and ladder like objects.
Reschedule leprosy for next week then?
4:00: wallow in self pity;
4:30: stare into the abyss;
5:00: solve world hunger, tell no one;
5:30: jazzercize;
6:30: dinner with me - I can’t cancel that again;
7:00: wrestle with my self-loathing…
I’m booked!Yeah I think leprosy will have to wait until next week
At least it’s all over and done with at the same time.

I’ve put the oven on, I’m making banana honey bread and roasting a chicken for dinner. :)
Sounds perfect. Meanwhile it’s salad at my place :-(
the chook is in the oven, rice is in the cooker and I will be steaming some broccoli. Then I just have to make the gravy.
The banana bread is chewy from the honey and will be good for brekkie. :)
Can I send you some?
Yes, yes…come to the dark side 🐔
It’s a small chook and they don’t have as dark meat but legs it is. ( Need bigger chooks. )
**Trigger Warning: corriander
I’ve been out enjoying the lovely weather in the garden and am pleased to report that the late planting of corriander last year has successfully self-seeded and I now have a patch of baby corriander. There is also a bit of self-seeded lettuce popping up, and my bok-choy mustard hybrids are going well now the weather has cooled down.
I’ve also planted some snow pea seeds and will cross my fingers they don’t get eaten before they manage to grow.
**Trigger Warning: corriander
Umm… “fuck coriander”? 😅
I absolute hate coriander so thank you for the trigger warningb❤️
Dammit. I hate this cold.
Getting back drip into my throat and it’s making me cough all day long and it doesn’t sound nice at all, like a frog dying or something.
What’s worse is that it’s keeping me from sleeping too waking up to coughing fits because whatever is in my throat is tickling it and making it dry.
oh noes, that drip is the worst.
hugs and have some steamy hot honey lemon drink 🍋🍯🍵
Sadly I don’t have that available to me :(
I’ll try to go to sleep as best I can. Lost the will to stay up to do anything.
Thanks for the hugs
