Oh... Would have been my wedding anniversary today.... I feel ... Ok. Will always have residual anger-sadness that I wasn't a 'good enough woman' and melancholy that the whole thing left me very never wanting to do it again. But at peace. And as these things go it was amicable and as good as it could be.

Just because things don't work out with a person, doesn't mean that you're not "good enough." I'm glad you're far enough away from that past that you can look back on it as the past, if that makes sense.
I totally agree.
All the making people feel they aren't good enough, that's nothing but nastiness and control.
I still feel angry at my family of origin and ex.
I was engaged for a long time and feel the same on a particular day of the year. I was very much "not good enough", but over the years I've learned that sometimes people want things we simply cannot give them.

Happy Feaster to all! Jeez that Lindor ball chocolate stuff is rich as ๐คฐ๐ปI regret nothing! A BBQ will be had this Arvo which, if I time it right, will eliminate the need for cooking dinner.
In other news I'm trying to teach myself to crochet with YouTube videos and an ancient book. Great hobby to take up when my work is very hand related, bloody genius move ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ But behold, my first project!
It is actually wearable, which I'm actually shocked by, but even more shocking is both Minipeelers actually like it! The ancient book:

Happy respawn day. Bless us all.
Clothes washed and hung, burrito consumed, car washed, wiper fluid refilled, coffee & hot cross bun acquired. That's me for the day done. Guess I'll play some video games.

A local church minister popped into my work one day to wish me a happy Easter and I replied with "Merry Christmas Colin" in front of a room full of people that I was supervising.
Pretty.
Skippy Easter vs Greaster: which side of the family will have better food? Might make some pancakes this morning.
Greaster for sure!

No Sleep team member checking in. I suspect the cause was an evening coffee, which is something I donโt normally do. Doesnโt matter, can have a sleep in ~~tomorrow~~ today.
Can I sleep for three days please
I grew up reading these comics and now, finally, it's an animated series. The Furry Freak Brothers. It looks interesting. The cat is now female.
Went for a walk today to get some vitamin D.
Ran into some relatives I haven't seen in a while.
Next few days are gonna be filled with catch-ups, which is nice cause one of them is a chef and loves cooking ๐
I'm so glad tomorrow is also a PH because I think I need a day off after seriously looking at cars online. Last time I bought a car was pre-covid.... ๐ธ
It's looking like with my current options for 2nd jobs, neither one actually requires me to have a personal car even to commute to the worksite, so I'm thinking I should curtail my initial spend on the car, and keep the money for servicing later on (which, with less frequent use, would be padded out over a longer time I presume). Maybe an older car (10-15 years old) with higher kms (120-175k). But not an absolute shitbox either. There's a handful of promising options around the 9k mark (which used to get you a pretty decent car ๐ญ)
So far I'm leaning towards a Mazda 3 in the 2007-2013 sort of range. Couple of Honda Civic hatchbacks that look promising too. While I try to figure out how to spend less I'm also reminding myself how much more bloody convenient it would be to have my own wheels again.

I made a video from my dashcam footage from my trip back from Albury today if anyone is into that sort of thing.
Albury to Docklands in 24 minutes (the video is still processing so the link won't work until 1:30am)

Happy Bunny Day, fam!
Iโve eaten so much crappy chocolate this week, Iโd like to say that I canโt stomach anymore, but we all know thatโs a fib.
Anyone been on the road yet? Howโs the traffic?
Man with hole in hands has resigned. Something about returning to his followers. It does make sense that he is an influencer. Very popular among the staff.
I have no plans for the rest of the day except more plant stuff and listening to some Terry Pratchett audiobooks (omg thanks for the rec about Spotify @gibsonisafluffybutt and @CEOofmyhouse56)
But now what should I have to go with the rest of my choc bunny as I fluff around the house?
Another coffee? Tea? Little white wine?
?
Nothing like accidentally falling asleep when it's still daytime and waking up 2.5 hours later when it's night to confuse the hell out of you.
Gonna get worse next week when daylight savings kicks in (or ends.... whatever)

Happy Eostre! Everything chocolate please. Not broccoli - chocolate broccoli is not a concept that I am willing to entertain for a moment.

SOS โผ๏ธโผ๏ธ
I sat on those little Cadbury chocolate eggs by accident and it spilled onto the couch. now I looked online and I scraped the chocolate as much as I could from the couch. Then I made a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water and Ieft it on the couc to soak for a bit and it didnโt work so then I had this genius idea of using napisan vanish, and that has seemingly made the stain worse. I also put some corn flour (after looking at some articles online, and that's the white bit from the image, but I assume this will go away with time?) This is my housemate couch and sheโs going to be really upset. How do I fix this? A lot of aggressive wiping may or may not have happened...
Also it doesn't look as bad as in the photo. My camera seems to have made it look so much worse...
ooh I'd say no to the aggressive wiping.
I'd consider a bit of baking soda in your water mix and test on a small part (if it's a fabric couch hard to tell) and let it dry dab off before the next step.. wet vacuum.
Are the covers removable? A full careful hand wash is going to get a more even result than any spot clean.
