Flying home tonight. This time tomorrow I’m gonna have Mickey in my arms.
😸
Hell yeah :)
Poured myself a nice lil drink in my special wine glass (a present from my sister who died a few years ago)… popped it down and sat down to watch our team run out in the NRLW. Second half…and caught it with my hand and smashed it all over the floor.
I know it’s just stuff but am currently devestated. Fuck you grief it’s been 10 years and now I am in tears because I’ll never get another gift from her. Or watch another footy game with her. Or anything.
Fuck cancer.
I’m sorry, that’s awful! I wonder if it is worth saving the glass and doing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi
Or keep the largest shard and paint something meaningful on it, then displaying or framing it?
I’m sorry that happened 💜
Too many pieces for kintsugi but thanks for your suggestion. It was a pretty blue glass with a wave pattern and I think I will keep a shard and try to make a little art with it. 💚
Is it possible that Lemmit sleuths could find the same make and colour of wineglass?
It’s totally okay if that won’t work and doesn’t make up for the loss. I understand. The glass was irreplaceable.
It’s just physical gifts tend to be a lot more fragile than the bond with the giver and maybe even if the glass is different now the honouring of your sister is the same?
Think on it. If you decide you would like that I’m happy to try and help track it down.
I thought about that but this one was the thought. I have salvaged a couple of pieces and will think about what to do with them. Thank you. You are good people Melba.
🖤
oh no, always hard breaking something like that.
I’d have to say the studspud’s idea seems like a good one.
That sucks. I’d look it at this way, atleast you used it and enjoyed and that’s better than in a cupboard where it didn’t get looked at. Still sucks though. Hugs 🫂
Yeah I know. I am a firm believer in using things you love. Thanks 🫂
I understand how you feel I have very little from my mother and when I broke one of her things it hurt.
I hope you feel better ❤️
Thanks. I think I was due for a big sob. Calmer now. Thanks for listening
Anytime :)
It’s ok. It’s not just stuff. I get what you’re going through and it’s really painful. We’re here to listen.
The wineglass was the last physical gift you had from her but your love for her is forever.
(Edit: sorry if that’s invalidating, it’s meant to be a comforting thought)
Not invalidating at all. Thank you I needed that reminder. Hugs
Cbf’d cooking (again) crew signing in.
Let me introduce you to my friends can of chilli tuna and bag of frozen veggies
And microwave rice to soak up the chilli oil.
You’re speaking my language!
Oooo fancy.
I saw a no cook meal where a lady mixed a can of tuna into rice, crumbled nori in for the veg and added Kewpie mayo and chilli sauce.
Can’t find the video though
Lol. I have done that on many occasions. Sometimes I add lettuce too.
Sometimes I add the ingredients into the rice packet just to save washing a bowl.
I found it!
Spoonful of peanut butter/cup of Ensure checking in
Leftover fried rice did me good
i made a simple red chicken curry and rice, enough for 2 days
also have loads of dinners frozen I can defrost
I cut a potato into quarters to microwave, to accompany a frozen serve of stew.
Cheese and avocado toastie, small bit of left over chicken, and couple of baby cucumbers on the side. Followed by punnet of raspberries.
Bought quiche heated in microwave present and correct.
Fish n chips is the go here
Asked ExMrP what his choice of birthday cake is and he chose the Basque Cheesecake. Of course he did! So the plan for today is to go shop for supplies and ingredients, make the cheesecake, get the kids to wrap the gifts so that’s out of the way, take the kids to a park where elder can practice skating and I can do steps, and get shit together for the work/school week, in no particular order.
Hello friends
After planning a lazy nothing day recovering from being sick I got a notification on my phone steam trains were running at our local station. So I got up and got ready so we could ride the train. I’ll need to keep an eye on thebusofdoomfsx to see if he makes a video on it
I’m off to the market. Open to requests
4 calling birds, 3 french hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Omit the pear tree if you wish as there’s one on the street corner that I can re-purpose and it could be difficult to carry along with your own purchases.
thai chicken sausages, a selection of ripe exotic fruit,
Mmmmm, sleepy
Same. Nap time after feeding the strays.
Why am I awake? Darn it, I agreed to take the Minipeelers to the skatepark early.
Add me in to the no sleep gang. Ugh.
Adults losing their minds over dst. Priceless. Exception if you have small children. That can get a little tricky.
Feels like a “First world problem” for sure.
my watch has been adjusted for dst 👍
garden beckons 😊
Where’s this beautiful sunny day?
Never trust a forecast warm day in spring. Usually code for shitty north winds. Caught me out again too.
I had a whole day planned but it’s not super exciting out there.
I have to move. It’s four hours until the NRLW grand final. I shall clean/declutter until 3:45. Whatever I get done will.be fine. Just move dammit.
I hate that being laid up for health reasons and feeling uncomfortable with the local area/meetups makes me so unhealthily online. I wish that there were other ways to communicate with online friends than social media, and that I had more freedom to touch grass.
I would like to eventually return to martial arts for fitness or sign up to formal art classes but right now both of those goals aren’t something I can manage yet.
I’d like to take more frequent walks but here it’s rough so it isn’t always that safe.
