The sewing of the patchwork continues
Bed linen change day: boo
Swapping in the thicc doona: yay
I'm surprised you waited this long tbh. I would've done that a month ago
Hampton red rooster is an absolute fucking shitshow. I ordered three items and they couldn't get a single one right. Satisfryer was missing chicken, pineapple and drink (and chips were wrong size), popcorn chicken entirely absent (about which my cats are pissed ) and flayva was a bbq. Which i did not order.
Straight to chargeback ya cunts.
I've found more and more fast food, the people making it just don't care. Even my local HSP place will put the cheese on top if I'm not in store to correct them during construction. These days I tend to only get hamburgers from maccas because they're $2ea and simple, the still get stuffed up - sauce on the side, pickles falling out - it's not hard, they're the most simple burger.
I feel guilty about spending money on self-care sort of things. My group training gym is kind of exxy, but from that, I have started to cook for myself and found a supportive community. I am likely starting piano lessons soon and I also wanna buy a guitar for fun? Then on top of wanting to travel and only having a small window to do so because of study, and everything necessary, it's like should I just not do the music lessons, even though they will give me a sense of achievement and something else to do other than doomscroll all day?
There's the saving for a house part as well. I'm very lucky to still live with my parents.
Eugénie Grandet by Balzac sheds a satirical light on the folly of hoarding your wealth. It's not a long read and probably well out of copyright. If money isn't for self care then what is it for?
I feel like I just saw a hot air balloon disappear behind some trees and land in Edinburgh Gardens. That can't be normal.
Story prompt: my chicken coop has been decimated by a rampant platypus
Thank goodness all the chickens are OK. The platypus has a lot of splinters in its bill, and is even more ill tempered than usual.
