      We always get busses replacing trains, but never trains replacing busses. Riddle me that, Batman!

      Yuck. The last time I went on a replacement bus, it took an hour and a half to get to my destination when it would normally take half an hour.

      There’s decaf TEA??? This is an abomination. Besides, there’s not much caffeine in tea anyway - it’s mostly theine.

    Bummer, vomit warning, skip if vents bring you down

    I’ve been trying to eat more and exercise but it’s so hard. I just took a second walk because I’m so antsy and understimulated but came home and was immediately sick. Despite my best efforts my stomach just medically doesn’t function properly and it gets worse when I’m stressed out.

    Sometimes I wonder what the point of my life is if it’s going to be so hard. I don’t want much. I don’t want to be rich or have fancy things. I don’t care about sex or relationships. I don’t care about being famous or in any way exceptional.

    I just want to be okay. I just want my cat and I to live somewhat happily and not have every single day be a shitfight.

      go to nice places

      find some nice people

      everyday write down at least one good thing that happened or that you did

      ( me, I think I have a friend currawong, it seems to follow me around the garden and on the balcony. I saw a mirage on the bay, a big boat that seemed to float above the water )

      Two things, take them as you need.

      1. fuck it’s hard. Hugs of the biggest kind. You do so much to be ok and you deserve to be ok and safe and healthy and I wish nothing but grace .
      2. my science training taught me that the hydrogen in me is 13.8 billion years old, the carbon from old stars, the iron from supernovae. In some ways I am the most boring thing that has ever happened to me. In other ways this is how the universe sees itself. Even my worst moments are ok because that’s just part of the whole universe experience. That’s not twee. That’s objective fact.

      Both these things are true. Use what you need or throw them out if it’s not what you need right now.

      Hugs for you and melbcat <3

      Try not to be so hard on yourself. Exercise does have its benefits, but if it’s not benefiting you right now, then that’s okay.

      I remember you recommended Ensure to me a while ago, is this something on the cards for you? I’ve been drinking Sustagen when my appetite goes.

      I know fuck all about life Melba, but I know that taking comfort in the little things, like snuggles with melbcat, makes life richer.

          Apologies, I’ve been doing Friday night things. Um, at a glance, you’ll need lemmy.world admins to help with a lemmy.world account. I’ll take a better look tomorrow, I’m not really in a position to drive cars or admin access just at the moment.

    I just opened a picture of a cuddly lion rather than a medical invoice. Best claim of the day

    For my last missing days:
    I would like one pizza and coffee, one roasted pork and veges.
    Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻,
    And I’ve just finished day three with my mum who hasn’t been to melb in 30 years. We’ve packed in: South Melbourne brunch and market, south bank stroll, NGV, dumplings (her first in 20 years), QVM (first Borek) Botanic gardens, random city strolling, st Kilda pier and strip with pub and food. museum, Thai food, many tram rides, fancy coffees. She is pooped from the walking (so am I) and tapped out early today. Last day tomorrow will be chill because her back is hurting. Albert Park lake and good lunch.
