    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.

    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.

          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.

    I’ve put the oven on, I’m making banana honey bread and roasting a chicken for dinner. :)

    **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.

    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.

        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
