Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I went to buy my frozen cheesecake ( thanks @[email protected] ) and I headed for Sara Lee, spotted a Coles lemon curd one and my fingers hungrily grabbed that one.
Before anyone says they're really easy to make I know I know I know. I have made them before.
Lazy kinda day, lots of cat playtyime, aa stuff and a dentist visit. I've got some work needs doing and I'll be down a grand but I haven't been since 2019 so it serves right. Still come out about even but I really need to start being a lot more serious about flossing. Favourite comment today, "oh girl, you're such a lesbian", from my bestie. She's phenomenal. I'm so blessed she popped up out of nowhere this year after ten years of the odd catch up every year or two. Got an unexpected last week long service leave week's pay also which instantly gets eaten by the dentist but I'm still pretty happy overall I didn't need fillings or extractions and the money is there to pay the bill. I also saved myself from needing dentures, another year and I'd have been fucked.
People probably think I'm weird for saying aa has changed my whole perspective on spirituality and my future, but I love the fellowship. Talk about reliable, caring, loving and sober people. Having shared lived experience is where I'm at with my new peers, both trans and alcoholic. I needed wholesome people in my life and I'm starting to build a whole new circle of much better friends. Between that and the comaraderie here in the aussie zone, I'm feeling a really authentic sense of connection. My feelings of loneliness and isolation are basically gone. Everything's coming up hones.
Dinner will be the two $1.20 salads I bought from woolies discount bin with some mayo ketchup.
Ren - Hi Ren - came across this over at @[email protected] (I think). I had not heard this before. It's good.
