Put a cat to sleep yesterday. Feel like I'm being a massive fuckoff inconvenience for booking in some annual for the next couple days, yet I know it'll be worse if I go in.
Not sure what the point of this comment was, but fuck it, sometimes you've gotta vent.
Take the time off without guilt, the loss and grief are not small things even if others might think it shouldn't matter. It's better to give yourself the time and space than to force yourself through. Condolences for your loss.
My deepest sympathies. π Take the time without guilt.
Iβm so sorry
So sorry to hear that. Lots of hugs. Good on you for taking the time.
You just lost a member of your family. Take time off to grieve and vent all you need to
It's the hardest decision to make. Vent away, we understand. And take the days off too. Grief is not limited to losing human friends and family, these furry buggers are more family than my blood relatives.
My condolences β₯
Oh Iβm so sorry - itβs just the hardest thing to do. We had to do that a while back and it was just awful. Kept expecting her to pop up around the house for ages afterwards.
Gratitude thread :)
My only plans today are to meal prep and watch something. Uni can wait until I get more sleep.
The sun is out, the grass is riz, I wonder where the mower is.
Felt like the pits at 7:30am but a bit more sleep, water, Nurofen and sweating it out and I am getting better again. The sun is absolutely helping. It's an automatic immune booster.
Airing the house out to clear the cloud of sickly miasma that's built up over the week. Chugging so much liquid. Please let this be the beginning of the end, I can't take any more of the coughing and sinus headaches. Was coughing to the point of almost throwing up yesterday. My neighbours must hate me π¬
So we finally have a bedroom door. (previous apartment didn't have one)
Except we can't close it.
The balls of fur totalling 15kg would scream at the door to be let in, once let in, they would park themselves on my wife and I, one on her side, one on top in between us, one on my side - trapping us in place.
So much for plans for the day. Boyo regretting decisions to drink much rocket fuel punch, then eat special brownies and pavement. Colourful words and contusions.
Eating at a sandwich place outside. This person is standing βawayβ from the eating area to have her cigarette, but the wind is blowing the smoke smell right where Iβm eating. Gross.
The sandwich was A+ though, so satisfied.
Operation salvaging chilli paste.
Fuck it stinks.
My nose and throat feel like someone has taken to them with a scrubbing brush. And so much snot. But I have changed out of PJs (into trackies and oodie). Working up to a walk outside in the sun
I am doing it. I am going outside in search of sunshine, ibuprofen and proper sudafed.
crumpets have been made
Excuse the messy bed
Also I forgot to mention, if anyone needs a reference, you're welcome to hit me up π
Heading home today from my house and dog sitting duties. I thought I was going to be back in a few months for longer but it seems like my parents are going to cancel their upcoming Vegas trip.
This does open the door of possibility for me... I could go somewhere. I shall ponder. Ponder I shall.
Treat yourself :)
Go to Norway!
I have a tomato plant against a wall I was hoping would survive over winter and maybe give some early fruit next year. Not only is it surviving, it has actually produced a tomato! I don't expect it to ripen in this weather, but it definitely bodes well for the early summer fruit plan.
