Broke some new ground with singing tonight. Did a specific warm up for 10 mins and I learned a song I'd been desperately trying to learn for years in 20 mins.
Also, something bad is about to happen to me

That's the look why am I so hungry ๐ข
Punishment snuggles I reckon.
A woman we know that has A Lot Going On recently posted she got baptised into the Church of Latter Day Saints. That's the Mormons for the more common terminology. We knew she was on a bit more of a religious bent, but I thought that would just be liking fake bible verses on Facebook. I don't even know how she got caught up in it
Certainty, even a false certainty, has a deep attraction for the troubled or lost or otherwise disconnected. Under those circumstances, it really wouldn't take much to get sucked into a religious (or other) social vortex. I hope all goes well for her - the Mormons are not the worst, though I find their attitudes to femininity to be not very wholesome. And they do do a lot a doorknocking etc.
She's had a lot go on in her life so I'm not surprised she has gravitated towards something like this, it's just odd she ended up at the Mormon church of all places
it happens slowly
I want to know what kicked it off, or what steps led up to this. She's Italian so I'd have thought her family would at least be performatively catholic

Due to parenting stuff....went to bed late last night and had to get up early today.
All good. Had a productive day.
Was looking forward to a nap and managed 15 minutes. Nothing woke me up, that's just how long I slept.
Korean food for dinner.
Had a few drinks and had a few puffs of the devil's lettuce
Great fucking Saturday
The Goddess of Quanitity is smiling upon me today. The soup I made filled exactly the right number of jars to completely fill my canner (17 jars) with just enough left for a small bowl for entree.
It is a chicken & tomato soup, with lots of vegies, like zucchini and capsicum. A lot of the vegies are from my garden, including a few kilos of cooking tomatoes.
My luck with Marvel Stadium seating continues.
I'm in the fucking rafters
That place has reminded me I made this 6 years ago in the midst of lockdown baking frenzy
That looks pretty awesome
what was I doing?
I made over 300 face masks
A prodigious effort! And I recognise that cat print
That's so cute and so well made. ๐
Eh, It's a modification. De-branding a coffee merch item from an event Boyo worked.
It's really good. ๐

Gawd that took all day :(
Whoever put that in a few decades ago went so deep the concrete had fused with the clay and then bedrock about a metre down ๐ถ
My back isn't built for that.
Would've taken someone who knew what they were doing probably an hour lol.
Good work. Digging clay sucks.
That is a very impressive effort. You'd pay a personal trainer lots of money to make you work that hard, so you've saved money on two things.
Forgot to mention earlier - the first horse mushrooms are appearing on the nature strips of Thornbury. They look like the bought ones but aren't as edible.

Hii everyone!
I'm thinking of moving to Melbourne this year from Sydney, and I've just started doing my research into the different suburbs etc. to try and narrow down on places to live. I'm currently looking at Coburg, Thornbury or Preston.
Any advice? Places to avoid, places to check out? Thankyou โบ๏ธ
I live in Brunswick on Syndey Road, have been here for 6 years. Avoid street level residences, aim for an apartment. This will keep you up off the street, as Melbourne (particulaly the inner suburbs) have a meth and homelessness issue. You'll hear them yodel around at odd hours, and verbally cuss themselves out lol, but staying off street level means it's just entertainment (dark humour sorry).
Otherwise I love it here. Everything is walking distance, close enough to the CBD without it being a hassle, Sydney road street party is great fun, always something artsy or niche to attend, lots of gigs, trivia nights, foods, etc.

From your list I'm guessing you want affordable, decent PT, and close enough to Things to Do? Consider Niddrie. Nobody has ever heard of it

I donโt normally buy eggs, but am craving omelette-adjacency
Osaka Bench has omurice that is top notch
The heinous bitch next door is attempting to kick out her daughter. TheVoid peed himself in fear of the ruckus. Finger hovering on police button...
it's a difficult one
a woman like that would blame the daughter for having the police come and abuse might intensify when police leave
She's doing it. There's a pile of garbage bags and backpacks out the front

Good night everyone, sweet dreams ๐
I have been listening to the audiobook "Chasing the Scream" by Johann Hari.
๐๐๐ The drug war was started by a government as corrupt as the trumps, the Harding admin took cash from the mafia to make drugs illegal so the mafia could have a new prohibition market. Part of this was striking off many thousands of doctors who were caring for addict patients. They drove pharmaceutical companies into the ground. Prices went from pennies to dollars. Treatment became illegal. Crime soared.
( The Harding admin caused /oversaw the Gilded Age and the Great Crash, just like trumps )
millions and millions of people have suffered or died because of appalling government corruption
i might never have believed it until I saw how corrupt the trumps are
After many days of slothfulness after feeling a bit unwell I am back onto Doing Things.
A new veg box arrived yesterday, so I'm doing a final clearout of some of the older stuff. Primarily finishing off some soup and doing a tray bake of vegies for meals over the next few days at work. Plus I'll do a few salads, for lunches and/or side dishes for dinners, depending on how much stuff I end up having.
