I've rearranged my office desk just a smidge and the muscle memory is struggling. Keep going to file things on the right when they're now on the left.

Oh god, that's way too big of a difference. For a while I was using 4 different keyboards in my daily life, but at least they were all the "same" layout. Not helped by one of the computers has a beautiful habit of switching languages every time it gets locked.
movie review. Odyssey
what a great story
what a great movie
made and told so well, the heart of the story is all there, the details not so much but that's not important
sets and costume so good
I also relate
4 hobbits
I'm so pissed.
my FOO didn't tell me or my daughter that my father, her grandpa had died.
over two years ago
she's really upset
here's the thing, miss seagoon has had regular contact with two uncles and a cousin the whole time and none told her
I know what happened, the two golden children, my older sisters, took control of all the event and took control of information
all the others are too scared to do the right thing or be themselves
it really shows what the family dynamic is, what they think of us and how much they care
miss seagoon cried
I have unresolved anger , my father was a bad man who physically and mentally abused his wife and children, causing life long problems
my sibs are awful
Iโm so sorry. Even when we know someone is not a good person, itโs still hurtful when they do things like this. Itโs so hard. I also have crappy family, so I understand that people like this exist. But youโre a good person and thatโs what counts. The shame is on them.
That's terrible, I'm sorry you had to find out so far after the fact. You've been working through so much of your trauma, I'm sorry your "family" isn't helping you like they should. Sending gentle hugs and warmth. I hope Miss Seagoon gets to make peace. She can still have contact with the uncles and cousin or has this soured it for her?
Oh man...that's fucked up. Poor miss seagoon and sending gentle vibes your way too. I can't conceive of behaving like that.
Vent: Stupid breakup brain.
Sending internet hugs if that's your jam.
Neighbour is going away for a few weeks and was asking if I'd keep an eye out / mail stuff. Sort of neighbour with no filter / boundaries just rocks over (have no problems she's basically family).
Anyway was having a shower but had the sound system really cranked. Got out, walked into the living room to see her bopping along to this.
Seeing a well to do 83 yr old lady getting down to some pretty heavy DnB is pretty much peak existence.
Mad respect to your mum :)
Interesting the first thing Facebook shows me when I open it is someone expressing their support for One Nation. This guy added me years ago, never interacted with him beyond that. But that's what Facebook shows me. Very clear what the algorithm there is trying to do
Mild concussion over here, doing the same. Caught my temple with the corner of the freezer door. Gonna watch True Lies and let my brain chill. Taking suggestions for other low brain activity nice movies.
Seconding the first two mummy movies lol. My go to "don't think too hard" films include those two films and:
Radiohead doing 6 nights in Melbourne in May next year!!
YL has been looking after a couple of dogs for about a week now. She walked in the front door and she heard a voice, she froze, looked at the dog's and asked "OK. Who spoke"? It spoke again and that's when she realised there was a vacuum with a human voice that she didn't realise was there.
Question of the day: When have you had something speak to you unexpectedly where you've nearly shit your pants?
Yr 11 formal.
Deer in headlights really.
Oh dear.
Big Doof many years ago I was partying in footy shorts and fishnets (go straya) and a South American lass in full Carnivale gold g-string and nipple pasties getup started dancing on me. I was overwhelmed (and quite high).
Footy shorts and fishnets! That's brave!
Mystery bright pink stains in the washing. Google says it's a dark garment whose dye has run.
Did you leave lipstick/chapstick/eyeshadow in a pocket?
Turns out it was a red tea towel that was not my doing :( bright pink stain on pants I got in Japan. I have to go back now
have to go back now
Yes, that's a must.

Brawn acquired in the form of a mate's younger brother. He shall be paid, fed & beer'd appropriately for the many stairs. I still feel utterly shite and unslept. No-doze does nothing. My weird coffee reaction can't be just caffeine. No idea.
