Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Forced downtime so trying to take advantage and somewhat death clean myself.
Stuff = 1, Moi = 0
Why are there just some things that are inconvenient to store nicely. Yes, I have a gazillion ring-bound manuals. No, I havenβt opened them in forever. Yes, I need them.
Ugh. Cupboards are both the best and worst.
it's a radiohead kinda day karma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uYWYWPc9HU
I can't believe people are still bothered by daylight savings. I get it if you have kids. That's a different kettle of fish but gee if you're a grown arse adult I can think of a million and one other things to be shitty about.
PAX for me! Anyone going, too?
I wish! Been every other year, but couldn't afford it this time :(
Are you more interested in the video games? Or the board games? Dice?
I always loved the miniature painting and the team games with the motion controllers they do. And trying out all the board games and card games they have. I also like going to the talks they do, some are so so interesting. And then all the cosplay, people put so much effort, time and love into making amazing displays, and I am just in awe everytime I see them.
Was super close to pulling the trigger on taking a sickie today. Didn't do it, and I'm going to be regretting it allll day now
Well plans changed with my having to help family with their stuff and also with me making a stuff up so I ended up not having much to spend on myself in the end.
I've limited myself to a coffee so far.
The cafe I'm sitting at wanted 15 dollars for a chicken schnitzel roll with a layer of lettuce, 3 slices of tomato and it didn't look too big.
Maybe I'm just being too critical.
was kinda invited ( a plus 1 ) to fam b'day party
but near everyone there hates me, even had people shun me or call me names. mil constantly disses and baits me with hate , and many are raging bigots/haters
but I kinda understand and like the b'day girl, she tries hard to be a good person ( tho she never contacts me , i never contact her )
don't want to go, won't go, but will send gifts because maybe one day they will learn to look at how people behave and learn to not listen to gossip
Go. For the birthday girl. Take yourself and a niceish gift and leave when you're done.
