    Oh dear. Been gradually getting Cerys used to maniacs in dining room, then His Lordship comes out and halfway through a scrubs episode with Cerys we see a tiny ginger head emerge from under the couch.

    Good news: cerys is kinda ok, but we ain’t pushing it. And i need to fix a door that won’t latch.

    I’m being downvoted for posting frugal tips… in the frugal instance. Alrighty then.

    (Probably the clickbait headline but I seem to remember some rule about editorialising headlines. And I put a TL;DR:)

      Eh try not to worry about it. There’s bots and just idiot Americans and Aussie cookers on here sadly, and they’ll downvote everything that goes against their ideology.

      The points mean nothing

    Apartment below me is doing renos blegh. So loud when it echoes up the alleyway oof. Also hear the weeping of one of th residents next door (assisted living building), I hope she is okay.

    tw abuse

    I spent yesterday with my Dad. He travelled all the way from the East to me, braving the replacement busses. We had a delicious lunch at a local cafe and I updated him on how I’m going. I finally told him what my mum said to me, that has coloured all my experiences since I was 14. And he said it was unforgivable. We commiserated about how we were victims of her abuse, and he said that it’s okay if people don’t understand because he understands.

    It was cathartic, exactly what the small scared child in me needed.

    I messaged my cousin (mums niece) on Facebook , and told her I what Pop did to me. She can do what she wants with that information, as she is a mum to two kids. I don’t expect anything from her or to believe me, but I felt I needed to say something (something I wish someone had done for me).

    I’m feeling scared, but more confident that I can be okay and eventually even happy.

      It can be so hard to be honest about things like that, we get trapped in the idea that it happened because there is something wrong with us and we allow our abusers to control how we think and feel about ourselves. People who genuinely love us will always understand, and there is nothing wrong with us, only what was done to us. ❤️

        It absolutely gave me a complex about my worth as a human. But hearing dad’s side, and his experiences, it helped so much to hear him say he did want me and he has no regrets about me coming into being. I am wanted and loved. It’ll take time to incorporate that into my brain properly.

        Thank you for your kind words and care 💜💜💜 this community has helped so much

    Mr Trouble has had his April spot on a bit early and is frequenting my back yard again. Yesss. Yesss. This makes it much safer and easier if he has a medical emergency/gets injured and needs to be trapped.

    Edit: He’s grumpy about me applying the antifungal cream and just kept sulkily walking away from me and pulling his leg back. He doesn’t want it. But if I’m letting him in I better start trying to treat.

    I found spray cans of carpet sanitizer… hope I don’t choke on the perfume.

    spoiler

    It feels like Melbcat has just stepped out for a minute but I know that’s not true. I am breaking up inside about my girlie. I hate that she’s now no longer the focus

    It’s meant to be warmer tomorrow but i might try my boots on the bike. I got these boots from Rivers but they all turned out to be duds. Weird sizing and they must be for a super narrow foot because they hug my feet in all the wrong places. Plus they’re super heavy with a tread so hard it doesn’t seem to grip anything.

    But they are meant to be waterproof
