PLANS
UGH UGH ๐คฎ
Edit: spontaneous plans are so attractive, yet I am cockblocked by premade plans blah!
Edit edit: should I save nsfw posts till after 10pm? So I dont offend the downvoter? Or is posting about my horniness off limits entirely?
(I must say this is half a shitpost, real answers welcome but not required lol)
Go for it. Make sure to include all details, no matter how tawdry.
Exercises have been completed. It's amazing how guilty I feel if I haven't done them, I feel like I'm not doing that good thing for myself that makes up for the years of self neglect.
Took the Minipeelers to Barkly Square today and wandered around that part of Brunswick, which I love. Went to Juanita Peaches/All Day Donuts (yum) and Schnitz (Minipeelers choice). The children were fascinated by the protest being held near Dangerfield to promote the "yes" vote (they haven't seen many protests) so we had a chat about that, and it was interesting to hear their views.
We went to Kmart and the Elder Minipeeler cringed at the designs on the boys clothes ("sk8r vibes ๐ค" and such) while the Miniest Peeler cringed at the designs on the girls clothes ("summer love" and "bestie ๐ฉท" for example). She said the girls clothing section looked like unicorn poop ๐ We did grab some stuff like a basketball to muck around at the park.
It was just such a lovely day for wandering around, and I really enjoyed it!
Man Tom Waits had a beautiful voice when he was younger. Not that his later voice is bad, just the opposite you know. Early = soft crooner, later = gravelly piano bar singer at closing time.
Case in point - Going down slow
I think my skin is too thin
I worry I don't fit in
Despite not being entirely sure what that means
I know I'm more than I seem, I dream
I scream, I'm not sure who I am
But I like the way I look
In the mirror, still I'm shook
Connections are difficult
Constant fear of ridicule
Which never manifests
I'm the best, this is a test
They're my friends too, they like me
They're open with their admiration of me
But still, I worry I'm not good enough
To be around people I love and trust
I must be more than the sum of my past.

If someone asked, is the industry you work in one that you'd recommend they could start their career in?
Worked in several different industries. The answer would be absolutely on most of them.
Went for a bike ride today....bit of an uphill challenge at certain points. Got home and my legs are absolutely cooked.
Finished the ride at about 4 pm and the legs have gotten worse and more on fire
Send halp
Cheers....I have one but it's upstairs ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
My minions (kids) are enjoying seeing the old man in pain and refusing to get it.

Melbcat is suffering the after effects of too much red meat. ๐ Feeding her pumpkin puree and osmolax with plenty of extra fluid, perhaps we try to get in with the vet on Monday if things donโt resolve.
Honest movie appraisal:
The Last Voyage of the Demeter: Nice vibe
The Boogeyman: I'd argue very good classic jump scare
Meg 2: the trench: wtf did I just watch. Very bad but bad enough to be good very confusing. No jump scare.
I've seen the trailer for Meg 2, the amount of wood, boats, jetskis etc. that these sharks seem to eat would break the immersion for me. Like wtf, they're big but come on. They can't digest jet skis
