Tomorrow morning, I have a psychiatrist appointment for ADHD. Maybe after I get meds, I won't have "big feelings" anymore. But that might just be the suspected 'tism. Who knows at this point?
And who cares?

Good luck! It will be good either way, adhd or something else, they will be able to give you guidance. Be completely honest even if you think somethings embarrassing, because it will help greatly in getting it right.
I know exactly what you mean.
Mine definitely shrunk to what I consider a manageable size.
This is my favourite embroidery piece (with hand crocheted edging) that my mother did.
She's always been more interested in doing the crochet than the embroidery, so there are lots of doilies and things in the cupboard.
That's really really nice, so many different embroidery stitches, many of them traditional dating back to the Elizabethan Era.
Just want to add that this is a very good piece and worth framing. It's a good example of women's art and culture. Your mum had a good sense of history and culture. π
( I'm that nerd who goes to the V&A and buys the books on historic embroidery )
Beautiful. What a piece of art!
Well. I've been playing video games and napping most of the day. Time for guitar I guess?
Double roll!

Me singing to the cat: "Alfie do ya want some wine? Ooh, no, you can't have it! Boyo do ya want some wine? You can have Alfie's! Alfie do ya want some wine? No cause you're a kitten."
... I haven't even had any wine yet.
I talk to my cat in a Spanish accent cause somehow it's appropriate .
Also....get on the wine. Good for what ails ya
I used to talk to the dog in a French accent. Totally made sense.
Wine is in the glass!
Our old dog ,(RIP) had a lisp and a deep voice, despite being tiny.
It's just how animals are.
Iβve had beer and bulgogi. Now for that other great pleasure - bedtime
Booze, card games and swearing? Pirates? Nah just an average Friday night at my joint.
My kid did a very important biology test today. We all put in a bet and will be eagerly anticipating results.
Me: 96%
The man: 85%
The kid: 75%
The dog: N/A
Dog wins. Kiddo forgot to put their name on the test (we've all been there).
dog needs to get it together, seriously.
I think he rolled his eyes.
My grandma made Geoffrey the dog steamed fish, rice, and pasta. He ate none of it. But I gave him 20 of these little treats yesterday, because that's all he'll eat.
We are trying lots of different things.
Over at the p's.. so naturally means tech support. Jeez they panic.
It's sort of ironic. Back in the day as kids they'd slightly try and limit our screen time (pre smart phones)... talkin' N64 days.. confiscating that shit mid lylat wars / waveracer / 1080 binges like despotic barbarians. Now they beg to keep all their shit working and can't function without their devices. I'd love to see another carrington event.
E: ooh a downvote. Someone didn't do a barrel roll. Just realised if you type 'do a barrel roll' in chrome it does one. lol.
Right, pub
And in todayβs episode of stupid things Iβve done todayβ¦
I went to wash the dishes after dinner, ran the water and poured the dishwashing detergent as usual.
I forgot to plug the sink inβ¦
Yep, what a dumb thing I did once again.
I've lost count of the number of times I've made a pot of tea, and forgot to put the tea in.
I put on Iron Man the other day and AC/DCs Back in Black comes on and my daughter goes "I like this music. Is it old people music?" I swear my back started aching as soon as those words left her mouth.
Looks like itβs fuck this shit βoβ clock.
Might finally be getting over covid and the flu but sheesh that was harsh. One day I took out the recycling and then had to sleep for 13 hours I was that wiped from something so simple.
Also I may have grown too many chillis this season, I don't think my dehydrator is big enough to deal with this impending win/doom π
going to check out a campervan tomorrow. Mrs isnt keen, but still wants to have a look at it. not sure if we're just Tyre kicking, or if shes serious. Getting a straight answer out of her is tough.
oooof friends are having a very vicious very public breakup / divorce all over facebook and I'm torn between just muting the pair, or replying to a public spats going "Jesus christ" until they both block me.
Today I am looking at removalists. I have an end leave date 4 weeks from now. I need some special boxes too. Not too difficult to pack as I have done all the sorting already. π
It will be a bit spenny but worth it because ...beeeeach β±οΈπ©΄ππ
I've had a week of late nights but I hope I can fix that soon. I think I've been holding up alright but I don't recommend it.
I remembered to bring the growler to work and it's in the fridge pre-cooling before going to the brewery. I feel like I've earned it this week.
Stand up paddle board acquired - just a cheap inflatable one that had good reviews. Nabbed one for the boyo as well. Sadly too windy to test 'em today, but I've always wanted it and now I have it.
My Nana used to do "the fancy work" as she called it. Anyway I found this. She would've crocheted the edges and all. Oh the patience she had.
spoiler
Also found a shit load of birthday candles.
I've read all the spoilers so it won't be too shocking.
I'm going in, I'm going to watch severance ...lol
Okay, who sent this glorious weather?
Autumn. About time too. I love this weather too - cool crisp nights and glorious sunny days is my jam. Soon be time to lift & replant the spring bulbs.
Was quite tired yesterday, went to bed earlier than normal, woke up at about 4 for a tinkle, fell back asleep until 6...decided to fall back sleep again (day off today) and holy shit the next 90 minutes was the deepest sleep I've had in a loooong time.
Wife's alarm went off, she had a shower, had the curtains opened and I did not budge until she actually woke me up.
Feel absolutely refreshed too.
survived severance

called it, it's nazi type experiments on unwilling subjects

It was very satisfying when she hit him with that chair.

THIS REALLY PUTS A NEW SPIN ON EVERYTHING, I'M TERRIFIED, ALSO HOW ARE THERE ONLY 3 EPISODES LEFT AFTER THIS
The people who reviewed all ten episodes said that this and episode 4 were standouts of the season. Frankly this one is infinitely more impactful, this is like the intensity of the episode 3 ending except for like, the whole episode. I do think the whole show has just been turned around completely on its head... not so much the premise (that was beautifully and cruelly reinforced this episode which was great as I felt it was losing its way on that front), but certainly the machinations of exactly what the fuck is going on... Imma need to process this one
